This is a collection of Crowley's early esoteric writings and poetry and comprise the first collected edition of his writings. Aleister Crowley born Edward Alexander Crowley and also known as both Frater Perdurabo and The Great Beast was an influential English occultist mystic ceremonial magician poet and mountaineer who was responsible for founding the religious philosophy of Thelema. In his role as the founder of the Thelemite philosophy he came to see himself as the prophet who was entrusted with informing humanity that it was entering the new Aeon of Horus in the early 20th century. Born into a wealthy upper class family as a young man he became an influential member of the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn after befriending the order's leader Samuel Liddell MacGregor Mathers. Subsequently believing that he was being contacted by his Holy Guardian Angel an entity known as Aiwass while staying in Egypt in 1904 he "received" a text known as 'The Book of the Law' from what he believed was a divine source and around which he would come to develop his new philosophy of Thelema. He would go on to found his own occult society and eventually rose to become a leader of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.) before founding a religious commune in Cefalu known as the Abbey of Thelema which he led from 1920 through till 1923. After abandoning the Abbey amid widespread opposition Crowley returned to Britain where he continued to promote Thelema until his death. Crowley has remained an influential figure and is widely thought of as the most influential occultist of all time. Includes: Volume 1. Aceldama. The tale of Archais. Songs of the spirit. The poem.
