The Book of the Law: Technically Called Liber Al Vel Legis Sub Figura Ccxx As Delivered by Xciii= 418 to Dclxvi - Softcover
Synopsis
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."
Dictated to Crowley in Cairo between noon and 1:00p.m. on three successive days in April 1904, The Book of the Law is the source book and key for Crowley students and for the occult in general.
The holy text that forms the basis of Crowley's belief system, Thelema, was transmitted to him by the entity known as Aiwass over the course of three fateful April days in 1904.
With his wife Rose as the medium for what would become known as the Cairo Working, Crowley dutifully transcribed the communications on hotel stationery.
The pamphlet has since passed into occult legend.
Its full title is Liber AL vel Legis, sub figura CCXX, as delivered by XCIII=418 to DCLXVI, and it is commonly referred to asThe Book of the Law.
Although the "messenger" of AL was Aiwass, Aiwass presents the Book as an expression of three god-forms of the three chapters, Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit.

For the first time the Book of the Law is offered in a deluxe, hardcover edition fittingly issued in celebration of the 100th anniversary of Liber AL vel Legis's transmission to Crowley.
About the Author
Denounced by the press as "the wickedest man in the world," Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) was a towering figure among 20th-century occultists. His long and notable career encompassed countless writings and the creation of his own religion, Thelema, the chief precept of which was "Do what thou wilt." Satanist, pansexual, and cult figure, Crowley exercised a powerful influence over pop culture and remains widely read.
