Synopsis

Discover the hidden meanings of The Book of the Law with The Secret Wisdom of 666. Revealed to esotericist and poet Aleister Crowley in 1904, this new revelation has captivated audiences for over a century. However, the hermeneutical problem remains: What does this inspired text truly mean? How should its sentences be interpreted? In this book, the author delves into the prophetic dimension of The Book of the Law and explores its interpretation by Aleister Crowley, who saw it in terms of contemporary events like the rise of fascism. They examine Crowley's defense of the book's ethics and his declaration that one must adopt the ethics of the aggressor to survive. But is there a deeper meaning to The Book of the Law than even Crowley understood? The Secret Wisdom of 666 explores this question, investigating the problem of interpretation and the hints that Aiwaz provides about the book's concealed wisdom. With its deep exploration of this enigmatic text, this book offers a unique glimpse into the heart of The Book of the Law and its enduring legacy.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Vilified by the British tabloid press as "The Wickedest Man in the World," Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) became a legend in his own lifetime. Decades ahead of his time, Crowley was a wealthy libertine, poet and intellectual who spent a fortune of £100,000 in the pursuit of spiritual enlightenment. Reviled during his lifetime as a monster, Crowley's reputation for evil has diminished as the social mores of Victorian England recede. But the legend of the Beast 666, the Wickedest Man in the World, persists, with the surprising result that it has spawned a Crowley cult of rock stars and fans who are more attracted to the legend than to Crowley himself! Of course, these are the ones that attract the most media attention. Unfortunately, this sensationalistic popularization of Crowley masks the real depth and range of Crowley's attainments. Secret Wisdom of 666 strips away the legend and reveals Crowley in a completely new light. 666 is an inspired work of Thelemic hermeneutics. Also available in hardcover.
