Digital Edition - The Collected Works, Vol III

[Scott Wilde]

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

As part of my continuing Crowley first edition scanning project, "The Collected Works, Vol III" is now available at https://keepsilence.org/the-equinox/?filter=works

The third and last in the series, which collected disparate poetry that Crowley had previously published separately, the notable items in this volume are:

"Gargoyles", containing "THE EYES OF PHARAOH", which would eventually make its way in the "Rite of Saturn";

"Orpheus" described by Crowley as "a gigantic Greek ode. It celebrates all the forces of nature and the children of time. Orpheus invokes them in turn; and they reply" and also that it "describes the visit of Orpheus to Hades; and contains the invocations of the necessary deities, with their replies". This work contains many invocations which are peppered through Crowley's other works including an invocation of Aphrodite ("Daughter of Glory, child Of Earth’s Dione mild"), an invocation of Hecate ("O triple form of darkness! Sombre spledour!"), an invocation of Dionysus, used in the rite of Jupiter, ("Hail, O Dionysus ! Hail !")

I've also added links to the main page for print editions of "The Book of Lies" and our Thelema/Agape fundraiser pin sets.

Thanks to everybody who continues to support this project!

Love is the law, love under will.
