    2. THE EQUINOX VOL. 1 NO. 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. https://keepsilence.org/the-equinox/?filter=1.1
    3. LIBER ALEPH, THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY: 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. https://archive.org/details/LiberaAlephVelCxiTheBookOfWisdomOrFolly
    4. THE BOOK OF THOTH: An Essay on the Tarot of the Egyptians, Being the Equinox Volume III No. V: 287 pgs, est. 650 minutes or 11 meetings. Used for many years by students of the occult for study of the tarot and as a key to all Western mystery traditions, The Book of Thoth is on the list of must-have textbooks for modern students of the tarot and esoteric studies. “The Tarot is a pictorial representation of the Forces of Nature as conceived by the Ancients according to a conventional symbolism. At first sight one would suppose this arrangement to be arbitrary, but it is not. It is necessitated by the structure of the universe, and in particular of the Solar System, as symbolized by the Holy Qabalah.”—Aleister Crowley https://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/crowley/libro_thoth.htm
    5. KONX OM PAX: 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.
      https://www.100thmonkeypress.com/biblio/acrowley/books/konx_om_pax2_1907/konx_om_pax2_1907.htm
    6. THE COLLECTED WORKS OF ALEISTER CROWLEY VOL. 1: 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.

    7. THE HOLY BOOK OF THELEMA: 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. https://www.100thmonkeypress.com/biblio/acrowley/books/holy_books_1_1909/holy_books_1_1909.htm
