69 Original Sin Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. It was at Dover. I had passed the Customs Inspector. Turning back, I said: "But perhaps I ought to have declared my Browning?" Much agitated, he muttered , "However did I come to miss that?" and began all over again. I helped him out : "You see, you were thinking of pistols, I of poetry ." (There is a lesson in that!) And now you-of all people!-fire him off at me. I laugh! I wondered when you were going to pull me up, and send me packing to my Skeat about what "Sin" me…

Introduction In this Commentary on the Book of the Law it is told how the Book came to be written; or, rather, communicated to the man who wrote it down. There is a Being called Aiwaz, an intelligence discarnate, who wrote this Book of the Law, using my ears and hand. His mind is certainly superior to my own in knowledge and in power, for He has dominated me and taught me ever since.1 1 [Crowley, Commentary to AL 111:19, p. 161 below.] 2 [Quotations from Liber Legis are cited by chapter and verse in the margins throughout this edition, except w…

…n character, and is therefore shown coming forth in golden light. The whole of this symbolism is thoroughly explained in the Book of the Law. It should, by the way, be noted that the name Heru is identical with Hru, who is the great Angel set over the Tarot. This new Tarot may therefore be regarded as a series of illus‐ trations to the Book of the Law; the doctrine of that Book is everywhere implicit. At the bottom of the card we see the letter Shin itself in a form suggestive of a flower; the three Yods are occupied by three human figures aris…

THE VOICE OF THE SILENCE 56. Desire nothing. Chafe not at Karma, nor at Nature’s changeless laws. But struggle only with the personal, the transitory, the evanescent and the perishable. The words “desire nothing” should be interpreted posi- tively as well as negatively. The main sense of the rest of the verse is to advise the Disciple to work, and not to com- plain. 57. Help Nature and work on with her; and Nature will regard thee as one of her creators and make obeisance. Although the object of the Disciple is to transcend Law, he must work th…

Do you remember my asking you before tiffin what was your true will?” “Yes,” I said, “I do. And I told you then, and I tell you again now, that I haven’t the time to think about things like that.” “That fact,” he retorted, “was quite enough to assure me that you had discovered it.” ‘“‘ Look here,” I said, “ you’re a good sort and all that, …

…f the numbers to the forms of nature, and found nothing incongruous. But when (8th April, 1904 e.v.) he was writing down the Book of the Law from the dictation of the messenger of the Se‐ cret Chiefs, he seems to have put a mental question, suggested by the words in Chapter I, verse 57: “the law of the Fortress, and the great mystery of the House of God” (“The House of God” is one name of the Tarot Trump numbered XVI) to this effect: “Have I got these attribu‐ tions right?” For there came an interpolated answer, “All these old letters of my boo…

…Mystery is a hexagram rep‐ resenting the macrocosm. In its centre is a pentagram, representing a dancing male child. This symbolizes the law of the new Aeon of the Child Horns, which has supplanted that Aeon of the “Dying God” which governed the world for two thousand years. Before him is the woman girt with a sword; she represents the Scarlet Woman in the hierarchy of the new Aeon. This sym‐ bolism is further carried out in the oriel where, behind the phallic headdress, the rose of five petals is in blossom. The symbolism of the snake and dove…

… be, we thereby do wrong to ourselves. We thwart our own tendencies. To live is to change; and to oppose change is to revoit against the law which we hâve enacted to govern our lives. To resent destiny is thus to abdicate our sovereignty, and to invoke death. Indeed, we hâve decreed the doom of death for every breach of the law of life. And every failure to incorporate any impression starves the particular faculty which stood in need of it. This Section B invokes Air in the East, with a shaft of golden glory. The adept now invokes Fire in the S…

26 MAGICK WITHOUT TEARS Letter I January 27,1944 Cara Soror, Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law. It is very good hearing that these letters do good, but rather sad to reflect that it is going to make you so unpopular. Your friends will notice at once that glib vacuities fail to impress, and hate you, and tell lies about you. It's worth it. Yes, your brain is quite all right; what is wanted is to acquire the habit of pinning things down instantly. (He says 're-incarnation' -now what exactly does he mean by that? He says "it is natur…

E. g. “The Word of the Law is 0EAHMA” (Will) ; this Word has the value of 93. “Love is the law, love under will.” Love, Aya-ruy), likeBsXyjua, adds to 93. AIWAZ itself adds to 93.1 This was ail strange to the scribe; yet years later he discovered the “Lest Word” of one of his own Orders; it was 93 also. The Word of His most holy Order proved equally to count up not entirely beyond possibility. This theory is telepathy. One may postulate that the solution of his problem existed in the subconscious minci of the Master Therion or in that of His se…

Consider the Play of the Chess, how its Law hath made for itself a Language and a Literature, yet it is but an arbitrary invention; without impinging (save as it oper- ateth though Pleasure and interest upon Minds) on any other Sphere soever of the Universe. Equally, Things called (vulgarly) Real and Material exist in the Universe of our Consciousness only by the Apprehension of their Images in mind through Sense; as, how is Colour Real or Material …
