Author: Crowley, Aleister

Aleister Crowley devoted twenty-five years to writing and producing the fourparts of this book.  It is his magnum opus, in which he systematicallyexpounds the mystical and magical theories and techniques taught in his magicalorders, the A:.A:. and O.T.O.

This profusely illustrated new edition brings together the complete texts ofall four parts of Liber ABA (Book 4) in one volume under the overall titleMagick.  This edition incorporates Crowley's own additions, corrections andannotations, and restores dozens of passages omitted from the first editions.

Magick is the fundamental textbook of modern magick in the New Aeon.  Italso has invaluable teachings fro students of Yoga and meditation.  Crowleymastered the practices of Yoga during his studies in the East, and writes aboutthem lucidly, without recourse to the imprecise language of mysticism.

Beginning with a discussion of the universal origin of world religions inmystical revelation, Magick then explores the theory and practice of mysticismand magick in the light of modern scientific thought.  Crowley's ownrevelation, The Book of the Law, is then treated as a case study, with anautobiographical study of the events leading to its reception.

Extensively cross-referenced and annotated, this edition features over 100diagrams and photographs, as well as a glossary, bibliography, and detailedindex.  This second revised one volume edition features revisions based onnew typescripts for a more accurate text than all earlier editions, and itincludes a revised A:.A:. curriculum, a new syllabus of O.T.O. papers, and animportant, previously-unpublished A:.A:. paper.
