“For those of you who don’t have a copy and who have begged us over the years to republish it, we are proud to announce that we have done just that. The first printing of Thelemic Essays No. 1 was released on January 15th, 2015. This second printing is released seven years later in April of 2022! It is virtually identical to the first printing with a few slight modifications.
To explain why the demand for the volume has been so high, let me say that it contains 37 foundational OTO and A.’.A.’. essays written by J. Edward Cornelius. See longer description below for summaries of all essays within this volume.
Like the first edition, the second is black cloth, 6¼ x 9¼ hardback. The second printing is published privately in Prescott, Arizona. There are only 200 copies printed; this edition is not a signed copy.”
From the A.’.A.’. Lineage who brought you Red Flame, A Thelemic Research Journal, The Aleister Crowley Desk Reference and The Magical Essence of Aleister Crowley and many other classics.
“As Thelemites, we embrace our divinity and do not shy away from exercising our unfettered creative Power. No moral codes bind us, except ‘Do what thou Wilt.’ But what is the difference between Will and Want? How do we balance Want with Will in practice? And how do those of us on a Vertical path use our unique personal sexuality to propel us upward on the Tree of Life?” – Erica Peterson
Many of the essays were written in response to a student’s request for information which they deemed not clearly explained in Crowley’s writings. Since many students ask the same questions, J. Edward Cornelius started writing his replies in the form of essays which could later be handed out or emailed to other students who might be asking the same if not similar questions. In this light the essays run the gamut of thought from easy magickal foundational information to more intricate theories related to the Qabalistic spheres on the Tree of Life in which the student resides. It is also important to note that some of these essays were written to male students, while others were written to female students. All these essays are considered foundational stones designed to open a dialogue between a student and their teacher on often difficult topics.
