Part I, Mysticism, is a clear introduction to the fundamentals of mysticism and meditation, with special emphasis on Yoga. Each meditative practice and state of consciousness is discussed in clear language that is easily grasped by Western students. It also explores the universal origin of world religions in mystical revelation. Part II, Magick: Elementary Theory, systematically explains the meaning and purpose of the instruments, weapons, furniture and regalia employed in ceremonial magick. Part III, Magick in Theory and Practice, gives 28 theorems that form the practical keys to Magick, and demonstrates their application in daily life by showing how every willed act is an act of Magick. After a comprehensive outline of the Qabalistic, scientific and philosophical foundations of magick, Crowley explores its formulas and the essential procedures of banishing, purification, consecration and invocation. He shows how their right use leads to initiation and the accomplishment of the Great Work. Other chapters deal in depth with the magical memory of past lives, the astral plane, divination, alchemy and other subjects. Part IV, Thelema: The Law (The Equinox of the Gods), gives an autobiographical account of how Crowley came to receive the cornerstone of Thelema, The Book of the Law, and a new appendix discusses its cosmographical, ethical and religious implications. In addition to the text of The Book of the Law and its Comment, this edition features a newly~photographed facsimile of its original manuscript, as well as the first authentic color photography of the Stele of Revealing ever published. The appendices give numerous rituals, Qabalistic reference tables and diagrams, reading lists and other instructional papers to assist the student in beginning practical work in meditation and magick, including the most important preliminary instruction papers of the A:.A: . New appendices provide supplementary rituals and texts. This new edition incorporates Crowley's own additions, corrections and annotations for a planned new edition that has~until now~remained unpublished. It also restores dozens of passages lost in all earlier editions, by returning to the original manuscripts and typescripts. It is extensively cross~referenced, annotated and indexed, and Crowley's sources and authorities are thoroughly documented. The editor's introduction explores the author's spiritual and philosophical development that led to the curious genesis of the work, and documents his 25~year struggle to produce all of its four parts. It also surveys his own critical appraisal of the work. N° de réf. du vendeur 2102401
