Cornelia Cornucopia as a labor of love. It’s both a tribute to Jerry and a gift for all humanity in the New Aeon. We hope you relish this new book as much as we do.
Cornucopia illuminates the Thelemic inward journey as approached in Grady Louis McMurtry’s A.’.A.’.
Cornelia Cornucopia comprises writings from Jerry Cornelius’ Cornelia magazine (2007-2008), which he created as a “way to reach everyone” about “our A.’.A.’. structure, history, and learning requirements”. This classic publication changed many of our lives.
Including 110 pages of never-before-published material, Cornelia Cornucopia selects core teachings on the Thelemic spiritual journey from J. Edward Cornelius’ popular Cornelia magazine. Prepare for new insights, self-reflection, and a few wicked laughs.
Including treasures from several unpublished issues, Cornelia Cornucopia imparts Jerry Cornelius’ wisdom, humor, and guidance to Thelemites everywhere. The original material continually offers up new gems. One reader of the preview copy commented, “Every time I read the articles, I find something new”. And then there’s the brand-new material:
- A 45-page essay on Jerry’s emotional and spiritual struggles after his beloved teacher Grady Louis McMurtry died. It illuminates the Magical Thesis, the Caliphate, and the Oath of the Abyss
- “Admittedly, in August of 1985, I went into a total emotional tailspin. Like a child without a father, I felt lost thinking about Grady’s death. I had no direction and I couldn’t seem to focus.”
- The astrological birth charts of 42 prominent occultists (mainly Thelemites)
- 28 pages of Jerry’s personal photos throughout his life
- and more!
J. Edward Cornelius (July 14, 1951 0 Dec. 8, 2023) was Grady Louis McMurtry’s recognised heir as the undisputed Caliph and head of his A.’.A.’. lineage. Having written over forty published books on Thelema and Crowleyanity, he ran Love’s Sake Clerk House in Oakland and Berkeley, California and in Prescott Arizona.
