Widely considered Aleister Crowley's most important and comprehensive work on the practical application of Magick. Forming the third part of 'Book 4' (Liber ABA), this volume provides a rigorous intellectual and philosophical framework for magical operations. Crowley defines Magick as 'the Science and Art of causing Change to occur in conformity with Will' and provides detailed instructions on ritual construction, invocation, banishing, and the mastery of the mind. The work is famous for its 'Apostrophe to the Reader' and its exhaustive analysis of the formulas and theories behind Western ceremonial practice.
