The Book Of Lies

Book: The Book Of Lies by Aleister Crowley

Another of Aleister Crowley's important works was a book on mysticism, The Book of Lies (1912), whilst another was a collection of different essays entitled Little Essays Toward truth (1938). He also penned an autobiography, entitled The Confessions of aleister crowley (1929). Throughout his lifetime he wrote many letters and meticulously kept diaries, some of which were posthumously published as magick Without Tears. During his lifetime he also edited and produced a series of publications in book form called The Equinox (subtitled "The Review of Scientific Illuminism"), which served as the voice of his magical order, the A?A?. Although the entire set is influential and remains one of the definitive works on occultism, some of the more notable issues are "The Blue Equinox", "The Equinox of the Gods", "Eight Lectures on Yoga", "The Book of Thoth" and "Liber Aleph".
