The Equinox Vol. I No. 5

This installment of *The Equinox* is part of Crowley’s influential attempt to create a serious, periodic record of magical theory and practice within the Thelemic current. Readers can expect a combination of technical ritual material, philosophical reflection, poetry, and esoteric commentary that documents the development of Crowley’s school and its literary style.

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.
