Written in New York City at the end of the First World War, this has been described by Crowley as an extended and elaborate commentary on The Book of the law, in the form of a letter from the Master Therion to his magical son.
Discover your divinity! Aleister Crowley was a showman, a show-off and, as he often claimed, the most evil man in the world. Or was somebody very different hiding behind a public mask designed to put off all except other adepts experienced in deep magick? And, if so, what can we learn from him? 666 was adopted by Aleister Crowley in his youth as part of his persona as The Wickedest Man Alive and The Beast. Magick is the Path of Self-Transfiguration and is spelled with a "k" to differentiate it from stage magic. This book is a thrilling starship voyage through the occult. The launch pad for our vessel is the life and teachings of Aleister Crowley. The reader can take one book on this expedition, Crowley's Liber Aleph vel CXI: The Book of Wisdom or Folly. Various selected chapters of Liber Aleph open new realms, exploring Crowley's mystical, magickal, and practical guidance. The reader will extend his-her mind in space and time, meeting various sages who impart to the reader new ways to approach magickal rituals while having unforgettable experiences. The reader will encounter Israel Regardie, climb Mexican volcanos with Crowley, learn mystical secrets contained in The Book of the Law, run free in Rupert Sheldrake's morphic fields, discern Laurence Galian's connection with Godzilla and how you too can change history, unlock the secrets of the star Sirius, travel to the Black Sun, encounter the Dweller at the Threshold (your Disowned Self), find out if time stopped in 1970, know the menstrual Star Fire (Elixir Rubeus) of the goddess, utilize Calculated Influence, investigate the vortex in space called the Ark of the Covenant, participate in Bert Hellinger's strange new shamanic-tribal-ancestor system of Family Constellations, visit with blue-skinned Krishna and the "Blue Star" Kachina, encounter Choronzon/Aiwass/Lam, meet Nicholas Roerich with his other dimensions and alien orders of being transporting the extraterrestrial Chintamani Stone, experience the quantum weirdness of 1947, learn how phonons and howling dervishes can move stones, experience sexual ecstasy with Wilhelm Reich and his radiant Orgone Energy, discover Crowley's secret Sufi sheikh, verify Crowley's Samadhi (Crowley achieved enlightenment), learn techniques to generate sexual magnetism, await the return of the Nommo, shout DNA empowered magickal incantations, acquire new Working Tools, stop for some extraterrestrial sex, experience the links between the latest scientific discoveries with the sacred path of magick and realize how to use these discoveries in your magickal Work. Through your voyage through landscapes of consciousness, you will learn how to know, and how to retrieve if necessary, your True Will (Authentic Life Passion or Unique Divine Fingerprint). By taking a new look at Crowley, we uncover some very real and very powerful magick that you can use right now to make empowering changes in your life and the world around you. This is real magick, the very thing that the people who so mysteriously control this world make use of all the time, and that Crowley placed on offer to anybody who had the knowledge--and the courage--to penetrate the veil of lies with which he surrounded--and protected--himself. "The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear," according to H.P. Lovecraft. Do you dare find the God within? "666: Connection with Crowley" is your connection with the Infinite Unnamed One.

Edited, with an Introduction, by William Breeze. Foreword by David Tibet. This volume brings together the uncollected short fiction of the poet, writer and religious philosopher Aleister Crowley (1875 - 1947). Crowley was a successful critic, editor and author of fiction from 1908 to 1922, and his short stories are long overdue for discovery. Of the fifty-two stories in the present volume, only thirty were published in his lifetime. Most of the rest appear here for the first time. Like their author, Crowley's stories are fun, smart, witty, thought-provoking and sometimes unsettling. They are set in places he had lived and knew well: Belle Epoque Paris, Edwardian London, pre-revolutionary Russia and America during the first World War. The title story The Drug stands as one of the first - if not the first - accounts of a psychedelic experience. His Black and Silver is a knowing early noir discovery that anticipates an entire genre. Atlantis is a masterpiece of occult fantasy, a dark satire that can stand with Samuel Butler's Erewhon. Frank Harris considered The Testament of Magdalen Blair the most terrifying tale ever written. Extensive editorial end-notes give full details about the stories.
