Description
Published by Level Press in 1974, this edition of Liber Aleph – The Book of Wisdom or Folly was originally written by Aleister Crowley in the form of an epistle to his magical son, Charles Stansfeld Jones. The book consists of 208 short epistles on the philosophy of Thelema, Crowley’s own ethical system of occult magic. Though the book was not published until some time after its writing in 1918, it is considered one of the forefront commentaries on Crowley’s teachings. The arcane style was probably either inspired by the short epistolary style of Heinrich Agrippa’s “De Occulta Philosophia” or the introduction to “The Book of the Sacred Magic”. The number 111 given to the title refers to the numerical value of the Hebrew letter “Aleph” spelt in full which in Hermetic teachings corresponds to the first Tarot trump The Fool. The 111, added to Crowley’s own number 666, produced the number of this magical son, 777.
In the past 75 years the world has been beset by an over abundance of gurus and holy men all claiming to be the bearer of the new light for the Aquarian Age. Of these, one man stands out in bold relief against the rest by virtue of the scope and audacity of both his philosophy and life. That man is Aleister Crowley. He pursued the nature and meaning of life to the heights of Heaven and into the depths of Hell, fearing neither god nor devil. Our of the fullness of his living experience he developed a tremendous body of knowledge concerning the ways and means by which an individual human being could take an active part in his or her own evolution. Liber Aleph – The Book of Wisdom or Folly is the synthesis of this collection of information, written as the gift of a father to his children.
