The Equinox of the Gods

In this major Thelemic work, Aleister Crowley recounts the reception and publication history of the Book of the Law, the foundational scripture of Thelema. It is historically significant as both a defense of Crowley’s revelation and a commentary on how Thelemic doctrine took shape, while readers will find narrative explanation, doctrinal interpretation, and documentary material concerning the text’s transmission.

Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, and religious innovator who founded Thelema, a modern esoteric system centered on will, ritual, and spiritual liberation. His many books, including Liber AL vel Legis and Magick in Theory and Practice, made him one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century occult literature.
