关于此电子书

In "The Blue Equinox," Aleister Crowley presents a seminal text that merges esoteric philosophy with practical ritualism, offering readers a profound exploration of the teachings of Thelema, his spiritual doctrine. Written with Crowley's characteristic flamboyance, the book features a rich tapestry of poetry, prose, and invocations, interwoven with insights from Kabbalah and Eastern philosophy. Containing key principles of magic and mysticism, "The Blue Equinox" serves as both a guide and manifesto for adherents of the Ordo Templi Orientis, enriching the modern understanding of occult practices and their philosophical underpinnings. Aleister Crowley, a controversial figure often dubbed the "wickedest man in the world," was a man of many talents; an artist, poet, mountaineer, and dedicated practitioner of the occult. His diverse upbringing and extensive travels led him to study various mystical traditions, which informed his creation of Thelema. This backdrop of personal exploration and spiritual rigor uniquely positions Crowley to articulate complex metaphysical concepts with both clarity and passion, ensuring that his work resonates with ardent seekers of truth. For those intrigued by the occult, "The Blue Equinox" is an indispensable read that not only illuminates Crowley's philosophical vision but also invites readers to contemplate their own spiritual journeys. Its evocative prose will engage both the novice and the seasoned occultist alike, making it a timeless contribution to the landscape of mystical literature.

作者简介

Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) was a prolific British writer, mystic, and occultist, often remembered for his controversial life and influence on modern esoteric philosophies. Born Edward Alexander Crowley in Royal Leamington Spa, England, he altered his name to Aleister Crowley, which he believed aligned with his destiny as a spiritual figure. His participation in ceremonial magic and his founding of the religion of Thelema established him as a central figure in the early 20th-century occult movement. Crowley's literature, such as 'The Blue Equinox' (1919), exemplifies his commitment to Thelema and his role as a prophet of the new Aeon of Horus. The book serves not only as a compendium of his esoteric thought but also as a manual for the practices of the magical order A∴A∴, which he led. Known as 'The Beast 666', Crowley's literary style is characterized by a blend of poetry, mysticism, and practical instructions for magical rituals. Aside from his more esoteric writings, he is also noted for his poetry, diaries, and personal commentaries, which shed light on his expansive and often enigmatic worldview. Scholars and practitioners continue to debate Crowley's legacy, with some viewing him as a champion of spiritual liberation and others critiquing his more controversial methods and personal ethics (Sutin, 2000).
