Description:

This recording of the Book of the Law is performed by Steven Ashe, author of 'The Complete Golden Dawn Initiate. Egypt, 1904. Just weeks after performing mystical rites in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Cheops, Aleister Crowley received The Book Of The Law. It was during three performances of ritual magic at midday on April 8th, 9th and 10th of that year, that Aiwass, a self-proclaimed messenger of the gods, appeared to Crowley and dictated The Book Of The Law directly to him. Crowley recognised Aiwass as his Holy Guardian Angel and The Book Of The Law itself as a Bible for the New Age: the aeon of Horus, the child god of ancient Egypt, also synonymous with the unfolding Age of Aquarius. The book's three chapters delight, mystify and terrify as the Goddess Nuit,the mysterious Hadit and the chilling Ra Hoor Khuit (war god of Egypt) issue their proclamation through Aiwass. This new recording captures the majesty and drama of the revelation of The Book Of The Law.
