Aleister Crowley - The Law Is For All The Authorized Popular Commentary Of Liber Al Vel Legis

Tweet

"The Law is For All" was recommended to me, by an On-Line Friend. I had read "Then Book of The Law," Online, several times & was not quite sure what to make of it. I could not quite understand what the fuss was all about. However, "The Law is For All" explained-away all those little things that had confused me or led me to believe that "The Book of The Law" was just Crowley's personal writings. When I started looking into all this, I was a firm believer that Crowley was the man I had read about from Colin Wilson's perspective and Nevill Drury's perspective, etc. In other words, my opinions were formed by the Research of others.... Yet, when I actually took the time to sit-down and read Crowley's works--well, I was amazed at his Genius and his Anthropological views of Humanity. I never expected to gain Anthropology lessons from his works--but, he was truly an Observer of the Human Condition....all of which adds to this "Commentary" on the "Book of The Law."

Crowley's life and thought are inexorably linked with 'The Book of the Law.' He received this visionary work by direct-voice dictation in Cairo in 1904. As an intelligent sceptic, he first found this improbable means of communication difficult to accept. Yet he could not ignore it or its message. He worked for decades to interpret its meaning for initiates and the general public. Eventually he entrusted the task to his best friend, Louis Wilkinson who possessed impressive literary qualifications. The result of his work, completed and augmented by Frater Superior Hymenaeus Beta of the O.T.O., is this long-awaited authorized popular edition of Crowley's "new commentary" on 'The Book of the Law' and its first appearance as Crowley wished it.

What amazed me, until I realized that this book was written in the same way as all other "Holy Books," was the fact that it is, in fact, a "Holy Book." This book was written in the same fashion as "The Book of Mormon" or any other "Holy Book."

Aliester Crowley served as The Prophet, and the book was written Through him (even if he was not exactly happy to be the Writer of the Work).

"The Law is For All" has awakened me to the validity of certain religions that I had never really considered as such, previously. I think this book is a good example of why we should ALL be respectful of each-other's religions and "Holy Books," because they are ALL written in the exact same fashion. Regardless of whether or not you agree with "The Book of The Law," one cannot deny it is a "Holy Book" to many people.

The Equinox The Review Of Scientific Illuminism The Official Organ Of The Oto Number 10

Book: The Equinox The Review Of Scientific Illuminism The Official Organ Of The Oto Number 10 by Aleister Crowley

Possibly the best book I have ever read. Outstanding! The work is one of the most concise and well written treaties on philosophy in the history of human thought. A must read! The the First Chapter alone is worth three times the price of the book.

The O.T.O. numbers over 4,000 members in the U.S. alone, and is active all around the world. Its country of origin, England, is a pretty strong Thelema following. aleister crowley is a mainstream celebrity in England, hugely popular.

After reading this book the reader should have a pretty good idea if they want to get more in-depth into the works of Crowley, the OTO, or the A.'.A.'. This book is a good place to start, and scratch the surface of a deep and rich system. Much further study is required to fully understand the system, but after reading this book at least you should know if you want to know more.

The OTO is growing and had many wonderful members. If you like what you read here you might want to contact one of the local OTO branches near you for more suggestions on reading material, or even to become a member. One of the main goals of Thelemites is to find and do your true will (whatever that might happen to be). No one at the OTO is going to make anyone go against their true will (THELEMA means will). One of the other main concepts of Thelemites is AGAPE (Agape means love) and the experience I have had with OTO members have been friendly, loving, and kind. These are of course only my opinions and experiences with Thelema and the OTO and I do not speak for the OTO. Others may have very different opinions that are just as valid. If what you read in The Equinox Volume 3 Number 10 interests you --- you might want to have your own experiences and further develop your own opinions. Personally I don't see any down side to finding your true will and knowing why you are here on this planet. Only you can find out what your true will is, and no one at the OTO is going to try to tell you what your true will is. The OTO can possibly refer you to methods that have helped others find their true will, and there is a good chance that they may work for you as well.

This book clarifies the O.T.O. and what it is about. Other books on the subject of Thelema have little to do with the O.T.O. itself. The O.T.O. is like the official body of Thelema. Most Thelemites aren't members of the O.T.O. This is not a big deal. Wheras in Christianity if you are not a member of any church it is an issue both ways. Weiser books are a sign of quality. Legal matters of the O.T.O. are covered here as well. Recommended for those Thelemites seriously pursuing the O.T.O. or like me already members wanted to learn more about it.

The Search For The Temple Of Thelema

No one has explored the Abbey since the film maker Kenneth Anger in 1955, who uncovered paintings beneath the white washed walls and took up the floor to reveal symbols used in magickal workings (I use the "k" as Crowley stipulated, to differentiate Occult Magick from stage magick".

Almost all of the photographs which Anger took of the paintings were published in black and white and therefore lost all their impact.

I journeyed to Sicily in March 1996 to find the Temple. Much of the town remains exactly as it was Crowley's day, shops selling fresh bread, olives and wine from narrow alleyways, washing is hung out using shared lines attached to opposite houses and many of the attitudes and beliefs have not changed. Stories about the abbey were rife: I was told the police had hermetically sealed the house with wax to keep the Evil Spirits in and to placate the locals; that immediate arrest would follow if I went near to it and the insanity had befallen individuals who had spent a night within its walls.

I met With Some young locals one evening in The Black Cat bar who had a huge desire to learn the truth of a legend and offered to help me. They took me to the Abbey and as we turned a corner into the concrete car park of a football stadium situated between modern housing blocks, I saw the terra-cotta tiles of a roof partially hidden by trees.

To avoid prying eyes I returned in the evening equipped with water, a camera and note book. I climbed through the undergrowth, negotiating a steep bank covered with vicious brambles and twisting roots. My worst fear was that the house would be boarded up or bolted. Instead, I literally stumbled to face the back entrance of the villa, the door of which lay smashed to pieces amongst a layer of tiles from a partly collapsed roof. Sweat poured down my face, my shirt was drenched in the evening heat and butterflies fluttered in my stomach as I entered the house.
