Liber Israfel, sub figura LXIV

Aleister Crowley

The Equinox I:7 (1912), printed pp. 21–27; Keep Silence scan

A ceremonial text for a speaker and listeners. Invocation gives way to identification with the invoked figure, a lection and a return to silence. The opening records its earlier title, Anubis, and association with the twentieth key.

Where to begin

Begin with the editorial note and invocation on printed p. 23 / PDF p. 3. Track changes of speaker through the named figures on p. 25 and the closing stage directions on p. 27.

Keep in mind

The text’s grouping of Thoth, Hermes, Mercury and Odin is a ritual identification made here, not proof that these figures share one historical origin. The lection is indicated but its content is not supplied.
