Aleister Crowley

Although written as a novel, this book is actually a true story according to the author, Aleister Crowley. With his magic and occult background the popular press began calling him "The Wickedest Man in the World." This wickedness included his involvement with drug addiction, and this book brings the reader into the minds of users. It clearly explains how one can be drawn in and trapped by addictive drugs like cocaine and heroin, including why the habit is held onto while the users life is ruined. Crowley explains the use of the Will, found in some of his magical works, in attempting to combat the problem. Considered by some his best-written work, reveals the amazing highs and the complete ruin that can follow.

Diese wunderschöne Sammlung von Meditationen in Versen zu den Tierkreiszeichen und den Pfaden am kabbalistischen Lebensbaum wurden von Aleister Crowley aufs höchste geschätzt und empfohlen. Captain J.F.C. Fuller, später sogar ein General-Major der englischen Armee, hat sie verfasst. Als Aleister Crowleys langjähriger Schüler schrieb er eine der ersten Abhandlungen über dessen Werk und war Mitherausgeber von "Der Equinox", der prächtigen Ordenszeitschrift von Crowleys Astrum Argentum, worin der Text auch erstmalig erschien. Fuller ist heute interessanterweise vor allem Historikern als einer der wichtigsten Autoren über Strategie und Militärtheorie des 20. Jahrhunderts bekannt. Die Verse in "Die Schatzkammer der Bilder" werden schon lange als ein hochinspirierter Text betrachtet. Bisher war dieser Text auf dem Kontinent den Interessierten nur unvollständig in Form schnell vergriffener oder interner Ordens Periodika zugänglich. Diese Ausgabe der "Schatzkammer der Bilder" legt das Werk erstmalig vollständig in deutscher Sprache vor und erkennt es dabei als einzigartiges Instrument der magischen Technik und Praxis. Durch die begleitenden Essays wird der Leser darin unterstützt es als mächtiges Werkzeug der Selbstinitiation und der persönlichen Weiterentwicklung zu verstehen und zu nutzen. David Cherubim, ein Initiierter im Thelemic Order of the Golden Dawn, hat den Band im Original herausgegeben und das Vorwort geschrieben, worin er die historischen und magischen Einflüsse seiner Entstehungsgeschichte erklärt und seinen reichen Symbolismus beleuchtet. Das Buch enthält weiterhin Abhandlungen zu den astrologischen und kabbalistischen Entsprechungen des Crowley-, sowie des Golden Dawn-Tarot, die durch ihre Präzision, Klarheit und Praxisnähe bestechen. Sie wurden von dem amerikanischen Philologen Dr. Christopher S. Hyatt und Lon Milo DuQuette, einem hohen Initiierten des O.T.O. (Ordo Templi Orientis) beigetragen. Die beiden Autoren erkunden darin auch die reiche westliche Kabbalah Tradition, welche die eigentliche Basis von Fullers "Die Schatzkammer der Bilder" ausmacht. Ein Text der erfahrenen Magierin Nancy Wassermann beschließt das Buch mit praktischen meditativen Techniken und Anleitungen zur Pfadarbeit und zum Astralreisen. Es ist nicht übertrieben zu sagen, dass dieses kleine Buch einen Schlüssel zur Initiation des wahren Selbst, zum Kontakt und der Kommunikation mit dem Persönlichen Heiligen Schutzengel oder zu der kabbalistischen Ebene von Tiphareth liefert. - Benutzen müssen Sie ihn.

Long before there was Linda Goodman, long before astrology bestsellers turned up in supermarkets, there was Aleister Crowley, the most important astrological scholar and authority of the early 20th century. Ghostwriting for Evangeline Adams, it was Crowley who wrote the vast majority of her classic textbooks, Astrology: Your Place in the Sun (1927) and Astrology: Your Place Among the Stars (1930). General Principles of Astrology finally acknowledges Crowley's authorship.Crowley's goal was to abandon traditional assumptions, so he based his findings on actual charts and how they were expressed in people's lives. In his characteristically clear and elegant prose, Crowley discusses each planet from a scientific and mythological point of view. He provides an exhaustive analysis of astrological types, drawing conclusions for over 180 astrological nativities of wellknown artists, poets, musicians, philosophers, politicians, and business leaders from the 18th to the 20th century.This new book is composed of painstakingly gathered work, primarily ghostwritten by Crowley, and published in various early twentiethcentury texts. It is published here in one volume for the first time, in an undertaking endorsed by both the Adams and Crowley estates.

This is the 20th Anniversary edition of the book which contains new material by Lon Milo DuQuette! The book gives the student immediate access to the world's most powerful yet misunderstood system of Magick. Crowley's work on the Enochian system was originally published in The Equinox, his 10-voulme journal of Scientific Illuminism. It was the launching pad for all that followed. Originally published in 1912, it rent the veil of the Inner Order of the Golden Dawn and revealed its most precious jewel for all to see. Lon Milo DuQuette is a recognised expert on Enochian Magick who brings four decades of practical experience in the field to show you how to start using this powerful system right now. It is the aim of this book to offer in a practical format, Liber LXXXIV vel Chanokh, Crowley's original presentation of basic Enochiana, and make it immediately useful for the student who wishes to make use of it now. This coupled with Israel Regardie's fine Enochian Dictionary and pronunciation guide provides the reader with the minimum material necessary to get started.For the advanced student it offers practical instructions and the opportunity to re-evaluate the original information that the greatest magician of the 20th Century felt was most necessary to master first. This second revised edition of the book was edited by David Cherubim.

An admirable collection of Crowley's aphorisms-- Witty, subtle, and instructive paradoxes that challenge and exhilarate.
