Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Unknown God is the first documentary study of Thelema, a twentieth-century religious movement in the 'magical' family, founded by the occultist, poet, and prophet of a new age of personal freedom, Aleister Crowley (1875--1947). Martin P. Starr tells the history of the movement through the biography of its leader, Wilfred Talbot Smith (1885--1957), who took up Crowley's plans for organizations to teach the latter's methods in Western and Eastern esoteric traditions and his laws for a new world order, and established these systems in British Columbia and in California. Crowley provided the concepts; Smith and his associates made them take flesh, applying Crowley's doctrine of 'Do what thou wilt' and cementing it a part of the artistic and religious underground of the twentieth century. This account provides a contextual overview of the elements of the resulting bricolage of religions, which included Freemasonry, Theosophy, Rosicrucianism, Neo-Gnosticism and other related forms of esotericism, demonstrating the overlap between apparently disparate ideologies, groups, and participants. Drawing primarily on diaries and letters, Starr gives a rare and fascinating study of the contemporaneous application of Crowley's thought, whose long trail we can see in the Satanism of Anton LaVey, the Scientology of L. Ron Hubbard, and the popularization of many forms of witchcraft, magic, and tantric practices.…

The Teitan Press, Bolingbrook, Illinois 2003. Gr.-8°. With 35 b/w photographs. xii, 416 S., 2 (w) Blue cloth binding with gilt spine, gilt lamen on cover and original dust jacket. First Edition. - "The first documentary study of Aleister Crowley's contemporary followers in North America, told through the life of their de facto leader, Wilfred Talbot Smith (1885-1957). Smith, the unacknowledged offspring of a prominent English family, emigrated to Canada where he encountered Charles Stansfeld Jones, and through him, the works of Aleister Crowley. Although Crowley and Smith met only once, their twenty year correspondence proved to be a major link to the few and the faithful attracted to Crowley's work in the United States and Canada. Smith's spiritual life centered first on the initiatic structure of the Order of the A. .A. ., soon complemented by the emerging fraternal and social schemes of the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO). Smith followed Jones into a few long-forgotten movements like the Universal Brotherhood and the Psychomagian Society, but he declined membership in C.F. Russell's Choronzon Club. To promulgate the Crowleyan teachings, in 1934 Smith incorporated his own "Church of Thelema" - known to Los Angeles newspaper readers as the "Purple Cult". The following year he initiated OTO activity in Los Angeles which attracted its own cast of occult characters. Smith's life reached a strange conclusion when Crowley, taking a page from Louis Bromfield's novel "The Strange Case of Miss Annie Spragg" and combining it with a reading of Smith's natal chart, sent him off on a retreat to determine which God he was incarnating. It was a journey from which Frater 132 never returned. (Klappentext). - Contents: Prologue. The Skeleton in the Cupboard. First Steps. British Columbia Lodge No. 1. Isis Therion and Hilarion.

As Williamson was a friend of Crowley's it is probable that he acquired the lot directly from the artist.…

Edition Roter Drache Holger Kliemannel (in Zusammenarbeit mit: Oxford University Press), Remda-Teichel 2012. 1. Auflage. Herausgegeben und mit einer Einführung versehen von Henrik Bogdan & Martin P. Starr. 518 S., 1 Bl. illustr. OKarton. "Keine andere Person des zwanzigsten Jahrhundert hat so viele Gemüter aufgewühlt wie Aleister Crowley (1875-1947). Ein Charakter voller Widersprüche: in eine christlich-fundamentalistische Familie hineingeboren und ausgebildet in Cambridge, wurde er als Verräter, Drogensüchtiger und Lüstling verunglimpft, doch auch als der einflussreichste Denker der zeitgenössischen Esoterik verehrt. Crowley ernannte sich selbst zum Propheten eines neuen Zeitalters des Individualismus. Magick, Crowleys okkulte Erbe, ist eine vielschichtige Kombination spiritueller Übungen, die den magischen Zeremonien des Abendlandes sowie indischen Quellen der Meditation und des Yoga entlehnt sind. Dieser Weg der Selbstbefreiung gipfelt in der Nutzbarmachung der sexuellen Kraft als magische Disziplin, wie sie im Ordo Templi Orientis praktiziert wurde. Thelema, die Religion, die Crowley erschaffen hat, legitimierte seine Rolle als charismatischer Prophet und Verkünder eines neuen Zeitalters der Freiheit. Aleister Crowleys bleibender Einfluss ist noch bis heute ungeschwächt in der esoterischen und magischen Kultur zu erkennen, wie auch in vielen Formen alternativer Spiritualität und der Popkultur. Die Aufsätze in diesem Band werfen ein Licht auf Crowleys grundlegende Stellung im Rahmen westlicher Esoterik, neuer religiöser Bewegungen sowie des Umgangs mit der Sexualität" (Umschlag). - Eine Ecke minimal bestoßen, sonst ein gutes Exemplar.
