By (author) Aleister Crowley, Introduction and notes by Alan Chapman, Edited by Duncan Barford, Edited by Alan Chapman
Take personal instruction in Magick from the Great Beast himself!
Let Aleister explain everything in this collection of letters designed to answer the many questions a student might put to the old master. For the first time this edition includes the complete set of 93 letters unabridged, organised and annotated, with a comprehensive index - as originally intended.
Magick Without Tears is Aleister Crowley’s most accessible and illuminating work on the occult. Written as a series of personal letters to his students, this book strips away the mysticism and complexity surrounding magic, making it understandable for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. With wit, wisdom, and razor-sharp intellect, Crowley demystifies the fundamental principles of Thelema, ritual practice, and the philosophy behind true magical work.
Unlike his more dense and esoteric writings, Magick Without Tears is refreshingly direct, covering topics such as the nature of the Holy Guardian Angel, astral travel, the ethics of magic, and the pitfalls of superstition. His candid, conversational tone makes the book feel like a personal dialogue with one of the most controversial and influential magicians of the 20th century.
Whether you are a serious student of the occult or simply curious about Crowley’s teachings, Magick Without Tears offers a rare and invaluable glimpse into the mind of the Great Beast himself—free of the cryptic symbolism and elaborate ritualism that often shrouds his other works. This is magic, raw and unfiltered, as Crowley intended it to be understood.
Magic Without Tears is prefaced by a critical introduction to the life and work of Aleister Crowley that radically redefines our understanding of his place in the history of Western Esotericism.
By (author) Aleister Crowley
Aleister Crowley was a poet, magician, mountaineer, and polemicist, the most famous, or infamous, name in twentieth century occultism. Crowley's greatest legacy is his eclectic occult system: his Magick persists, a potent synthesis of Golden Dawn magic, oriental esoteric techniques, sexual magic, and the all-encompassing Law of Thelema with its two fundamental principles, 'Every man and woman is a star' and the notorious 'Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be the Whole of the Law'.
