AlbakiReads Editorial

A foundational text of Thelema

Aleister Crowley’s *The Book of the Law* is presented as the source text for Thelema and a key work in Crowley’s approach to magick. The publisher’s account connects its origin to a series of communications Crowley said he received through Aiwass in Cairo in April 1904, transcribed with his wife Rose’s involvement. This Weiser Books edition pairs the corrected text of the 1938 edition with a facsimile of Crowley’s handwritten manuscript, giving the volume both its printed text and a reproduction of the original document.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Those studying Thelema or Aleister Crowley’s magick
  • Readers interested in occult texts and their publication history
  • Collectors seeking an edition that includes a manuscript facsimile

Book overview

"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."

This oft misunderstood phrase, which forms the basis for Crowley's practice of Magick, is found in The Book of the Law. The Book of the Law is the source book and key for Crowley students and for the occult in general.

The holy text that forms the basis of Crowley's belief system, Thelema, was transmitted to him by the entity known as Aiwass over the course of three fateful April days in Cairo in 1904. With his wife Rose as the medium for what would become known as the Cairo Working, Crowley dutifully transcribed the communications on hotel stationery.

This Weiser Books edition contains the corrected text of the 1938 edition with a facsimile of Crowley's handwritten manuscript.
