Bøger af Aleister Crowley

Written by magician and occultist Aleister Crowley and published clandestinely in 1898, White Stains is a collection of verse tracing the demise of a fictitious poet, George Archibald Bishop. His biography is given in the Preface. Crowley wrote White Stains as a refutation of the psychiatrist and pioneering sexologist Richard von Krafft-Ebing's contention in Psychopathia Sexualis that sexual perversions are a consequence of disease. Crowley's verse, which is modelled on Decadent and Symbolist poetry, explores a range of ostensible sexual aberrations. Excerpts from several poems appear in another clandestine classic, Raped on the Railway (c. 1899). White Stains was published by the London-based publisher Leonard Smithers. It was printed, in Amsterdam, on hand-made paper, in a limited edition of 100 copies. Many of these are supposed to have been destroyed by British customs officials in 1924. Crowley revised and extended White Stains' pseudo-biographical project in his wildly inventive black parody of literary erotica, Snowdrops from a Curate's Garden (c. 1904). Snowdrops from a Curate's Garden and Raped on the Railway are available from Birchgrove Press.

First published c. 1904 in France, Snowdrops from a Curate's Garden is a hilarious and remarkably inventive collection of erotic prose and verse written by the influential libertine-mystic and magician Aleister Crowley. Sections of prose and verse are unified through a biographical frame narrative attributing them to a single author-poet-perpetrator. The first section, The Nameless Novel, was written primarily to amuse Crowley's convalescing wife, Rose Kelly. A scatological parody of erotic literature, it takes aim at the usual targets of libertine fiction and modern erotica but, at the same time, lampoons their (libertine fiction and erotica's) limitations and conventions through absurdity and hyperbole. The verse sections, which include black parodies of notable Victorian poets such as Robert Browning and Algernon Charles Swinburne, were added to extend the literary forms in Crowley's earlier erotic work, White Stains (1898), which is also available from Birchgrove Press.

Before the United Kingdom's Dangerous Drugs Act of 1920, many of today's illicit substances, including cocaine, were readily available in British pharmacies as over-the-counter remedies, either in pure form or as an active ingredient in any number of cure-alls. During this time, Aleister Crowley ingested a variety of mind-altering drugs and wrote about his experiences in essays published in the magazine The International, where he argued for "constructive morality" in place of the new anti-narcotics legislation which he deemed repressive. Essays On Intoxication from Aiwass Books presents the full collection of these writings together for the first time in one volume: The Psychology of Hashish, Cocaine, Absinthe the Green Goddess, The Drug Panic, The Great Drug Delusion and Ethyl Oxide.

Liber VII: Liberi Vel Lapidis Lazvili and Liber IX: E Vel Exercitiorum, Two Short Works by Aleister Crowley. Liber VII - Child (or birth) of the Blue Stone, is a free-verse poem or hymn composed of a prologue and seven parts, (for a total of 394 stanzas). According to the author; "Its seven chapters are referred to the seven planets in the following order: Mars, Saturn, Jupiter, Sol, Mercury, Luna, Venus. Given in magical language (it is) an account of the Initiation of a Master of the Temple." It is a beautifully written work and an exceptional example of the Poet's craft. Liber IX, (Exercises), first published in The Equinox Volume 1, number 1, is a series of exercises designed to develop the necessary qualities, such as physical endurance and psychic abilities, in the aspirant to self-development. This short work is an important piece in the puzzle of understanding Crowley's approach towards self-development and preparation for becoming a master Magician.

Goetia (Latin variant of the Greek word for sorcery) refers to the practice of summoning angels or demons for the purpose of gaining knowledge and power. Use of the term in English stems primarily from a 17th-century grimoire known as The Lesser Key of Solomon. This book contains descriptions of the seventy-two demons which King Solomon was able to summon and control. Aleister Crowley edited the book in 1904 and renamed it The Book of the Goetia of Solomon the King. All of Crowley's original illustrations and notes are included in this edition.

Two beautifully designed short works by Allan Bennett and Aleister Crowley; A Note on Genesis and Liber 65. A Note on Genesis, (an essay by Crowley associate Allan Bennett with a preface and notes by Crowley), according to the Author, is "one of the most remarkable studies on the Hebrew Quabalah known to me." In this work, the author claims to be a pupil who was granted this knowledge, "a beautiful garden," by an unnamed master. Liber 65, (Cordis Cincti Serpente) is a beautifully-written, free-verse poem in five parts each part composed of 65 stanzas. Its meaning, (and its purpose), is up to the reader to discern. Both works are exceptional examples of the Literary Craft.
