… as follows: Creation and destruction of gods has been for centuries mankind's favourite religious mania and philosophical exercise. The Book of Lies is a witty, instructive and wholly admirable collection of paradoxes, in themselves contradictory, summing up and illustrating various experiments in god- making. Frater Perdurabo, however, has not written a philosophical or mystical treatise; on the contrary, his book leaves one with a feeling of intense exhilaration and clearheadedness. The book cannot be judged by the mere reading of excerpts; …

…ly can free us. It is the full achievement of real freedom, by such means, that will be compassed by the adoption of the religion of The Book of the Law. Further, this Book gives a new illumination of death, of the meaning of death. With death all religions have of course been much concerned; but the extent to which the various Christian sects have succeeded in dispelling the fear of death can be judged by the prevailing attitude towards death of the great majority of professing Christian persons.

353 Late in 1908 I picked up a book. The title attracted me strongly, The Magician. The author, bless my soul! No other than my old and valued friend. William Somerset Maugham, my nice young doctor whom I remembered so well from the dear old days of the Chat Blanc. So he had really written a book --- who would have believed it! I carried it off to Scott's. In my excitement, I actually paid for it. I think I ate two dozen oysters and a pheasant, and drank a bottle of No. III, one of the happiest champagnes in the famous --- can you say "caterer'…

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…

At that time most of The Book of the Law was completely unintelligible to me, and a good deal of it-especially the third chapter-extremely antipathetic.
