…le of my life's work, were it multiplied a thousand fold, would not be worth one tithe of the value of a single verse of The Book of the Law. I think you should have a copy of The Equinox of the Gods and make The Book of the Law your constant study. Such value as my own work may possess for you should amount to no more than an aid to the interpretation of this book. 2. It may be that later on you will want a copy of Eight Lectures on Yoga so I am putting a copy aside for you in case you should want it. 3. With regard to the O.T.O., I believe I …

64 The Law is for All 1. The accidents of any act of love, such as its protagonists and their peculiarities of expression on whatever plane, are totally immaterial to the Magical import of the act. Each person is responsible to himself, being a star, to travel in his own orbit, composed of his own elements, to shine with his own light, with the colour proper to his own nature, to revolve and to rush with his own inherent motion, and to maintain his own relation with his own galaxy in its own place in the Universe. His existence is his sole and …

47 Reincarnation Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. You are within your rights when you insist on knowing if I believe in Reincarnation; and, if so, why; and how do I feel about it. In other letters there is quite a lot of detail about the constitution of Man, and there is my Essay No. I, in Little Essays Toward Truth; you had better get these well fixed in your mind, in case some of what now follows should prove obscure. lean 't be bothered to define all the technical terms all over again. Do I believe in it? Yes. Why…

…hrones the Priestess upon the altar. The Deacon and the children follow, they in rank, be- hind him. The Priestess takes the Book of the Law, resumes her seat, and holds it open on her breast with her two hands, making a descending triangle with thumbs and forefingers. The PRIEST gives the lance to the Dracon to hold, and takes the ewer from the child, and sprinkles the PriEstEss, making five crosses, forehead, shoulders, and thighs. The thumb of the PRIEST is always between his index and medius, whenever he is not holding the Lance. The PRIEST…

I ntraduction Letter A March 19, 1943 Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. I was very glad to gather from your conversation yesterday afternoon that you have a serious intention of taking up the Great Work in the proper spirit. Your criticisms of previous experience in the course of your adventures appeared to be singularly sane and just. As I promised I am writing this letter to cover a few practical points which we had not time to discuss and which in any case I think it better to arrange by correspondence . I. It is o…

…t an Infi- nite intelligence must have been at work on this cosmos. I reply No! There is no intelligence at work worthy of the name. The Laws of Nature may be generalised in one—the Law of Inertia. Everything moves in the direction determined by the path of least resistance; species arise, develop, and die as their collec- tive inertia determines; to this Law there is no exception but the doubtful one of Free- will; the Law of Destiny itself is formally and really identical with it.” 1 Causality is itself a secondary, and in its limitation as a…

180 The Law is for All Then, when love dies, as it must if either party have more imagination than a lump of putty, the fetters are fixed. He or she must go through the sordid farce of divorce if the chance of free choice is to be recovered; and even at that the fetters always leave an incurable ulcer; it is no good playing the game of respectability after one is divorced. Thus we find that almost the only love-affairs which breed no annoyance, and leave no scar, are those between people who have accepted the Law of Thelema, and broken for good…

Thus the vast bulk of humanity is obsessed by an abject fear of freedom; the principal objections hitherto urged against my Law have been those of people who cannot bear to imagine the horrors which would result if they were free to do their own wills. The sense of sin, shame, self distrust, this is what makes folk cling to Christianity-slavery. People believe in a medicine just insofar as it is nasty; the meta physical root of this idea is in sexual degeneracy of the masochis tic typ…
