Description
Aleister Crowley; Lon Milo DuQuette
Red Wheel/Weiser Books, San Francisco, USA, 2012. Paperback. First Edition. 224 pages. New/Fine.
The Equinox became the standard for English language esotericism in the early 20th century, aptly termed the “Encyclopedia of Initiation” by its principal editor and contributor, Aleister Crowley. This ten-volume collection had remarkable variety, depth, and the utility of its contents encompass Qabalah, tarot, yoga, and the essential papers of Crowley’s teaching order, A.A. Unfortunately, much of this material is currently out of print.
Now, renowned scholar and U.S. Duputy Grandmaster General of the O.T.O., Lon Milo DuQuette offers readers The Best of the Equinox, Volume One of this four-volume collection presents readers with the Enochian selections from The Equinox and contains the Enochian Magic of John Dee and Edward Kelley–perhaps the most powerful and most popular of all magical systems.
Selected by DuQuette from both in-print and out-of-print editions of The Equinox, this is an affordable volume for Crowley fans, packed with high magick.
Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) combined scholarly rigor with a sense of humor and great literary ability to become the most widely read author in 20th-century occultism. He single-handedly redefined magick as a field of inquiry and endeavor through his books and the orders that he led–the A.A. and the O.T.O. He is author of such classic works as 777 & Other Qabalistic Writings, The Holy Books of Thelema, Book of Thoth with artist Lady Freida Harris, and The Thoth Tarot.
Lon Milo DuQuette is the author of 15 critically acclaimed books on Magick and the Occult, and one of the most respected and entertaining writers and lecturers in the field of Western Mystery Traditions. He is an authority on tarot and western ceremonial magick.
