Book of the Law
The Book of the Law (Liber Legis or Liber AL) is a book written by Aleister Crowley in 1904, supposedly channeling an entity called Aiwass in Cairo Egypt after visiting the pyramids with his wife Rose Edith Kelly. Crowley was an MI6 agent of the Cecils, raised by the Plymouth Brethren (Protestant Church) and trained to play the role of prophet of the Aeon of Horus. Crowley saw himself as the Beast of the Book of Revelation (AC= AntiChrist), the last book of the Bible. The Book of the Law is also called Liber 418 (channeled on 4/18). The book became the central text in his Thelema religion (Thelema=true will, in numerology solar number 93). The book is usually interpreted with Kabalistic symbolism and gematria. |
In the 1890's Crowley became a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn of Samuel MacGregor Mathers. The club of occultists and masons was linked to the Society of Psychical Research with members like channeler Oliver Lodge and Everard Fielding, his later supervisor. Like Cecil agent John Dee, they were secret agents who used occultism as cover, an eccentric image of provocateur, to create a mysterious and iconic image. He visited the Bulaq museum in Egypt where he had an epiphany at a stele with nr 666, later called the Stele of Revealing (=Revelation), depicting Horus, a priest called Ankh-af-na-khonsu and Nuit.
Crowley called Aiwass his Holy Guardian Angel. The entities in the book are called Nuit, Hadit and Ra Hoor-Khuit. The text of Nuit contains the famous phrase 'Every man and woman is a star'.
The central law of Crowley's Thelema religion is Do What Thou Willt (desires of the ego's above morality).
AL stands for Saturn (El/Al, Pan=All), Aleister, Aleph =Aries (the Fool) and Lamed =Libra (Adjustment, instant karma for the fool). The Aeon of Maat (Libra) precedes the Aeon of Horus.
The jews use the Torah as foundation of judaic law, supposedly written by Moses (Akhenaten). Aldus Manutius printed Poliphilo’s Strife of Love in a
Dream by Dominican monk Francesco Colonna,
written in 1499, 500 years earlier. In the story, Poliphilo ('lover of antiquity') is led by two
allegorical guides: Logistica (reason) and Thelemia (will or desire), he ends up following Thelemia.
François Rabelais wrote Guarganta and Pantagruel about an abbey of Thelème. Richard Parsons used the Do What Thou Willt motto in his Hellfire Club with Benjamin Franklin. Napoleon (Apollyon of Revelation 911) made the Napeleonic code in 1804.
The Aeon card is another version of the Judgement card, adapted to the new Aeon of Horus. Crowley restructured the grades of sex magick cult Ordo Templi Orientis.
In Sicily Crowley founded his Abbey of Thelema. In Manhattan, during the Amalantrah Working, he channeled an entity called Lam. Wilfred Talbot Smith formed a Thelemic community in California with Jane Wolfe (Paramount Pictures), which later became the Agape Lodge in Pasadena, led by Jack Parsons.
The Beatles made All You Need Is Love (Love is the Law, Love Under Will), Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band with Crowley on the cover, Abbey Road (Abbey of Thelema).
Book of the Law is published by Red Wheel Weiser, which also publishes agents of the New Age Church. The New Age Church popularized the trend of channeling: David Wilcock promoted the channeling of an entity calling himself Ra (the Ra material), JZ Knight channeling Ramtha, Bashar, .
