The Equinox: The "Encyclopedia of Occultism" The Equinox , subtitled The Review of Scientific Illuminism, was a landmark periodical published by Aleister Crowley between 1909 and 1913. Serving as the official organ of the A∴A∴, it aimed to synthesize "the aim of religion and the method of science". Often referred to as the "Encyclopedia of Occultism," these volumes contain the foundational rituals, philosophies, and essays of Thelemic magick. Structure and History
Do what thou wilt: Crowley was anti-censorship. He gave away copies of The Equinox to students. A PDF, for him, would be a tool of the New Aeon.
Crowley’s goal was audacious: to create a "masterpiece of rationality" that would dryly and scientifically present the methods of Yoga, Magick, and Mysticism. He stripped away Victorian spiritualism and replaced it with rigorous, often shocking, experimental data.
