THE BOOK OF WISDOM OR FOLLY 149 Er Apologia pro suis Literis (In defence of his Epistle) OW then, sayest thou, concerning this my Counsel unto thee?

Magick Without Tears
PREFACE XVll The reader should notice that every letter begins and ends with a formula-two quotations from The Book of the Law. Crowley felt compelled to open every letter and indeed every meeting with any individual with these quotations . Bidding adieu was also marked by the same type of gesture. Some people have felt that he made a laughingstock of himself by so doing, but for this kind of reproach he cared nothing. So long as he felt commanded by that book to behave in such a manner he proceeded to do so, come what may. The verses used are …

… I think you have read Hitler Speaks-if not, do so-his private conversation abounds in what sound almost like actual quotations from The Book of the Law. But the public man's private conversation can be repeated on the platform only at the risk of his political life; and he served up to the people only such concoctions as would tickle their gross palates. Worse still, he was the slave of his prophetic frenzy; he had not undertaken the balancing regimen of the Curriculum of A:. A:. ; and, worst of all, he was very far indeed from being a full in…

I was then a Qabalist, deeply involved in ceremonial magic, with aPantheon of Egypto-Christian colour, in fact, the mere bouillon of which my “ Tann- hauser” was the froth. The idea was to do the “ biggest thing ever done in lyrics.” I bound myself by an oath to admit no rhyme unless three times repeated; to average some high percentage of double rhymes—in…

You must on no account attempt to use the squares given in The Book of the Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage until you have succeeded in the Operation. More, unless you mean to perform it, and are prepared to go to any length to do so, you are a fool to have the book in your possession at all. Those squares are liable to get loose and do things on their own initiative; and you won't…

…iticism: the actual name of the Stèle, its ordinary name, the only name it ever had until it was called the “stélé of revealing”, in The Book of the Law itself, “its name” in the Catalogue of the Museum at Bülâq, was just this: “Stèle 666.” I have described this discovery at length because I wish to emphasize its importance.

Some uncon scious cooperation of my mind might be all…
