The Equinox Vol. I No. 8

An important part of the *Equinox* series, this volume preserves the intellectual and ritual life of Crowley’s Thelemic circle during a formative period. Its contents generally include practical occult instruction, doctrinal exposition, and literary works that show how Thelema sought to integrate spirituality, discipline, and artistic expression.

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.
