For the first time, "The Book of the Law" is offered in a deluxe, hardcover edition fittingly issued in celebration of the hundredth anniversary of the holy text. Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), who claimed to be the re-incarnation of Dr. John Dee among others, lived in England from 1875 through 1947. He is the author of several Weiser Books titles, including Book of Thoth, Diary of a Drug Fiend, Magick, Book of Lies, Book of the Law and 777 & Other Qabalistic Writings. He was a poet, mountaineer, secret agent, magus, libertine, and prophet - was dubbed by the tabloids "The Wickedest Man in the World." "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." This oftmisunderstood phrase, which forms the basis for Crowley's practice of Magick, is found in The Book of the Law . Dictated to Crowley in Cairo between noon and 1 pm on three success days in April 1904, the Book of the Law is the source book and key for Crowley students and for the occult in general.
