Magick: Liber ABA Book 4

About this book

Aleister Crowleys magnum opus in which he systematically expounds on mystical and magical theories and techniques. This profusely illustrated edition brings together the complete texts of all four parts of Liber ABA (Book 4) in one volume under the overall title Magick. This edition incorporates Crowleys own additions corrections and annotations and restores dozens of passages omitted from the first editions. Magick is the fundamental textbook of modern magick in the New Aeon. It also has invaluable teachings for students of Yoga and meditation. Crowley mastered the practices of Yoga during his studies in the East and writes about them lucidly without recourse to the imprecise language of mysticism. Beginning with a discussion of the universal origin of world religions in mystical revelation Magick then explores the theory and practice of mysticism and magick in the light of modern scientific thought. Crowleys own revelation The Book of the Law is then treated as a case study with an autobiographical study of events leading to its reception. Extensively cross-referenced and annotated this edition features over 100 diagrams and photographs as well as a glossary bibliography and detailed index. This second revised one-volume edition features revisions based on new typescripts for a more accurate text than all earlier editions and it includes a revised AA curriculum a new syllabus of the O.T.O. papers and an important previously-unpublished AA paper.
