Gems from the Equinox: Instructions by Aleister Crowley for His Own Magical Order [Hardcover]

Buyer Evaluations

_Gems from the Equinox_ has probably been the most vital item in my individual library, as nicely as the 1 most generally made use of. _Gems_ is not only practical, but also highly inspiring in its collection of crucial Thelemic and A.'.A.'. class A-E documents. It consists of all the main rituals: Resh, Star Ruby (pentagram), Star Sapphire (hexagram), Reguli, Gnostic Mass, Samekh (Crowley's version of the HGA invocation), and alot more. Liber LXXXIX vel Chanokh gives the standard components of the Enochian program (watchtowers, the SDA, the 91 governors the Keys or Calls) and precedes the original "The Vision and the Voice" account of Crowley's scrying adventure into the 30 aethyrs. The instructional sections are a goldmine, as are the practical disciplines supplied in Libers E, O, Nu, Had, Thisarb, Yod and other people. The A.'.A.'. syllabus, One Star in Sight, Khabs Am Pekht, Liber AL vel Legis (the Book of the Law), De Lege Libellvm and alot more are also included in this indispensible compendium of magick. In my opinion, this is THE 1 book to have on the shelf, or much better but, on the property or temple altar, for every day reference and praxis in magick and mysticism. The only way to make it much more comprehensive as a reference work would be to add the materials identified in _777_.
(Note: The version I own is the 1974-1982 publication by the Israel Regardie Foundation in conjunction with Falcon Press. Quite nicely bound and has held up to a amazing deal of strain and use on the other hand, I am not at present in a position to comment upon the good quality of physical construction of any newer version.)

If you can only own three books related with Crowley and his teachings, they would have to be "Magick: Liber ABA," "Magick With out Tears," and "Gems from the Equinox." This is a nicely organized synthesis of the most extremely regarded contents of The Equinox. The critiques at the end are also very good reading if you're searching for books on the occult or a fantastic laugh.
