Aleister Crowley's Treasure House of Images - Softcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), also known as "The Great Beast" and the "Wickedest Man in the World" was one of the most profound students of Magick, Qabalah and Yoga. His vast influence reaches through all modern occultism. He is widely recognised as the first Western investigator to give initiation a truly scientific method. In reconciling occultism to physical science, mathematics and philosophy, Crowley achieved a lasting synthesis that remains unsurpassed for depth of insight and comprehensiveness.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

The Treasure House of Images was composed by Captain, later Major General J. F. C. Fuller, one of Aleister Crowley's most important disciples and a leading military theorist of the twentieth century. Fuller was the author of The Star in the West and a principal editor of The Equinox. The Treasure House of Images is an exquisite work containing hymns to the signs of the Zodiac and the Sun. In Crowley's Confessions, he described it as some of the most remarkable prose ever written and an astonishing achievement in symbolism.

This edition is enhanced by contributions from a number of modern magical writers including David Cherubim, whose introduction places the work in its historical context and discusses its symbolism and use as a manual of Pathworking. Nancy Wasserman offers expanded practical instructions for Astral Travel, and provides an example for designing an actual Pathworking. Lon Milo DuQuette's foreword to this new edition places all this in context. We have also included Crowley's masterpiece, Liber O vel Manus et Sagittae, in which specifics for developing the Body of Light are detailed.
