Aleister Crowley

Weiser Books, San Francisco, California, USA, 2010. Paperback. 336 pages. Brand New/Fine.

Moonchild A novel by the Great Beast himself, the “wickedest man in the world” – Aleister Crowley. It tells the story of a magical operation to secure the influence of the moon on the birth of a child who is to become a great redeemer and spiritual being. The white magicians trying to bring this about find themselves in conflict with black magicians. Crowley’s prose is witty and wickedly satirical. And in “Moonchild” we get to know the supernatural detective Simon Iff, which Crowley later returned to in several short stories.

This is a novel by Crowley about a magical war between a white lodge ( led by Iff ) and a black lodge ( led by Douglas ) over an unborn child, the “moonchild” of the title, with the action moving between London, Paris and a villa in Naples. It was written in 1917 in New Orleans.
