Season’s Reading Options: Meeting attendees will vote on what text we will read during the season.

  1. The Book of Lies (https://keepsilence.org/the-equinox/?filter=333)
    • 108pgs, est. 240 minutes or 4 meetings. An admirable collection of Crowley’s aphorisms– Witty, subtle, and instructive paradoxes that challenge and exhilarate.
  2. The Equinox Volume One Book 1 (https://keepsilence.org/the-equinox/?filter=1.1)
    • 360 pgs, est. 840 minutes or 14 meetings. The Equinox (subtitle: The Review of Scientific Illuminism) was a periodical that served as the official organ of the A∴A∴, a magical order founded by Aleister Crowley (although material is often of import to its sister organization, Ordo Templi Orientis). Begun in 1909, it mainly featured articles about occultism and magick, while several issues also contained poetry, fiction, plays, artwork, and biographies.
  3. The Book of Wisdom or Folly (http://www.rahoorkhuit.net/library/libers/pdf/lib_0111.pdf)
    • 208pgs, est. 480 minutes or 8 meetings. An extended and elaborate commentary on the Book of the Law, in the form of a letter from the Master Therion to his magical son. This Book contains some of the deepest secrets of initiation, with a clear solution of many cosmic and ethical problems.
  4. The Equinox Volume Three Book 1 (https://www.100thmonkeypress.com/biblio/acrowley/books/equinox_vol_3_No_1_1919/equinox_3_1_text.pdf)
    • 132pgs, est. 380 minutes or 7 meetings. This is Volume Three in the Equinox series and is also known as “The Blue Equinox”. This book is described on its title page (like the Equinox Volume One) as being “The Review of Scientific Illuminism” and “The official organ of the A. A.” but also now as “The official organ of the O. T. O.”. This book contains a concise explanation of the Law of Thelema, an overview of the organization named Ordo Templi Orientis, its primary public ritual called “The Gnostic Mass”, selected Holy Books of Thelema, as well as some poetry.
  5. Konx Om Pax (https://www.100thmonkeypress.com/biblio/acrowley/books/konx_om_pax1_1907/konx_text.pdf)
    • 124 pgs, est. 360 minutes or 6 meetings.  This is Crowley at his cryptic best. A collection of Qabalistic fairy tales, poems and stories. An essential work for the serious student of Thelema, Qabala and Magick.
  6. The Collected Works of Aleister Crowley Volume 1 (https://www.100thmonkeypress.com/biblio/acrowley/books/collected_works_I_essay_1905/works_vol_1_text.pdf)
    • 265 pgs, est. 600 minutes or 10 meetings. This is a collection of Aleister Crowley’s early esoteric writings and poetry and comprise the first collected edition of his writings. Includes: Volume 1 – Aceldama. The tale of Archais. Songs of the spirit. The poem. Jephithah. Mysteries. Jezebel, and other tragic poems. An appeal to the American republic. The fatal force. The mother’s tragedy. The temple of the holy ghost. Carmen Saeculare. Tannhauser. Epilogue. Appendix.
  7. The Holy Books of Thelema (https://www.100thmonkeypress.com/biblio/acrowley/books/holy_books_1_1909/holy_1_text.pdf)
    • About 250. pgs, est. 600 minutes or 10 meetings. The Holy Books of Thelema consists of the wholly class A libri of Aleister Crowley, which indicates that they are not to be changed, even to the letter. According to Crowley, they were not so much written by him as through him and are therefore referred to as inspired works.
