Resultados para "Aleister Crowley The Book of Law" en Todas las categorias

The Book of the Law (Liber AL vel Legis) is one of the most influential and controversial spiritual texts of the modern era. First received in Cairo in 1904, it has shaped movements, inspired artists, unsettled institutions, and resisted explanation for more than a century. This edition presents the text without commentary. The core work appears here exactly as transmitted, without annotation, interpretation, or doctrinal guidance. No effort is made to explain the verses or resolve their meaning. The text stands alone.

Edward Alexander Crowley (born October 12, 1875, Royal Leamington Spa, England - died December 1, 1947, Hastings) was a British occultist, writer, and mountaineer who was a practitioner of “magick” (as he spelled it) and called himself "the Beast 666". He was denounced in his own time for his decadent lifestyle and had few followers, but he became an iconic cult figure after his death.

The Book of the Law, the holy text that forms the basis of Thelema, was transmitted to Crowley by the entity known as Aiwass in Cairo, on three successive days during April 1904. Acting as a medium, Crowley recorded the communications on hotel notepads and later organized his automatic writing into a short, coherent document. Aiwass/Crowley presents The Book of the Law as an expression of three god-forms in three chapters: Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit.
