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

As part of my continuing Crowley first edition book scanning project, I'd like to announce that "Konx Om Pax" is now available.

Released years before The Equinox and even ΘΕΛΗΜΑ, this work contains the celebrated "The Wake World" described by Crowley as "a sublime description of the Path of the Wise, rendered picturesque by the use of the symbols of the Taro, and charming by its personification of the soul as a maiden." The symbols and non-english letters, along with the heavy use of side margin notes has long challenged electronic distribution of this work.

Also in this book from the AA reading list is "Thien Tao; or, The Synagogue of Satan" which Crowley describes "gives my solution of the main ethical and philosophical problems of humanity with a description of the general method of emancipating oneself from the obsession of one’s own ideas, while there are passages of remarkable eloquence."

Additionally, I've scanned and put up the exhibition pamphlet for the Thoth Tarot. This contains a short work simply titled "THE TAROT (Book of Thoth)" which features an excellent, concise description of every card in the Thoth Tarot. Supposedly it was created by Frieda Harris from Crowley's notes (similar to how Book 4 was created).
