Hello , I was wondering what you guys think of A Crowley and if its any worth reading his books ?
Greetings Aquarius,
The writings of Aleister Crowley can be very beneficial to various aspects of Magickal Workings. He has Books out for almost every facet of an Initiates Progress from Probationer through Adepthood.
There is a Book out for the Probationer Neophyte called "The Magickal Diaries of ALeister Crowley" which show a systemized method for keeping a Daily Magickal Journal. This is a Practice that almost all Magickal Orders have their Neophytes perform in their advancement.
Also for Beginners through Intermediate Stages there is a wonderful work called "Magck in Theory and Practice" by Aleister Crowley. This gives some of the underlying Practices of an Initiate, as well as, the text and diagrams for some Ritual Workings to be performed.
The more Hard to come by, exspecially in the cost of the Books, is The Equinox Series, Volumn 1; 1-10. However this particular Series in the Volumn 1,is required reading by all Neophytes or Minervals of the Ordo Templi Orientis. It is a Great Series, and covers almost anything that a Student would have a question for.
If you want a listing of the Reading Requirements, and Obligations of the Particular Grades to the O.T.O. with a synapsis of the Workings "The Blue Equinox" is a very handy Book to obtain. It's cost is not too much, and it explains the Obligations and Requirements for various Grade Degrees.
I think the writings of ALeister Crowley are a cornerstone to the Scientifc AIm of the Art and Science of Magick.
Respectfully,
Helel (Joseph)
