Book Description
The discerning reader will notice a similarity in title between this comprehensive volume and the book known as "Gems from the Equinox". We feel this book is a superior product because, unlike Gems, this tome does not have 250pp of sarcastic reviews. In that other volume, editor Israel Regardie noted the difficulty of organizing the contents by subject matter, citing that some instructions included both Yoga and Magical references. We have tackled that problem by organizing the material by the grade in which it is to be worked. Thoughtful consideration has led us to move a very few of these instructions in an effort to make the whole system easier to comprehend.Here is a partial list of items in Diamonds, that are not in Gems: The Praemonstrance of the A.'.A.'., The Curriculum of the A.'.A.'., Students Reading List, Liber E Supplementary Instruction in Asana, Postcards to Probationers, X-Rays on Ex-Probationers, The Treasure House of Images, A Description of the Cards of the Tarot, Liber Gaias, The Earth, Liber Viarum Viae, The Dangers of Mysticism, The Training of the Mind, A Note on Genesis, Science and Buddhism, The Soldier and the Hunchback, The High History of Good Sir Palamedes, The Chymical Jousting of Brother Perardua, Aha!, Across the Gulf, Adonis, Two Fragments of Ritual, The Wake World, The Ritual Proper for the Invocation of the Augoeides, Thien Tao, The Evocation of Batzibel, The Ship, The Three Worms and The Rites of Eleusis.

A Green Equinox

Pages : 145
Book Description
Shortlisted for the 1973 Booker Prize, A Green Equinox is a beguilingly Rococo “study of love, considered in turn as companionship, sickness and mystic devotion . . . a book whose unusual infatuations are well worth lingering over, and puzzling out” (Russell Davies, The Observer). Hero Kinoull is an antiquarian bookseller whose sedate life in the picturesque English town of Beaudesert is turned upside down between the spring and autumn equinoxes of a single year. First her quiet but forbidden liaison with Hugh Shafto, the curator of the country’s finest collection of Rococo art, comes to an abrupt halt when she develops an adoration for his straight-talking, do-gooding wife Belle. But this relationship leads to other, even more unexpected feelings for Belle’s widowed mother-in-law, the majestic Kate Shafto, who spends her days tending her garden and sailing her handmade boats in the waters of the miniature archipelago she’s constructed in a disused gravel-pit. Published two years after Elizabeth Mavor’s most famous work, The Ladies of Llangollen—a biography of two eighteenth-century Irish gentlewomen who scandalized their families by eloping to Wales, where they lived together on their own terms—A Green Equinox is itself an intrepid exploration of gender, female sexuality, and passion: romantic, carnal, and cerebral.

Lon Milo DuQuette presents readers with his own selections from this classic publication, The Best of the Equinox. Volume III of the series presents perhaps the most controversial of esoteric subjects, sex magick. Once Aleister Crowley grasped the fundamentals of sexual magick, he came to understood it to be the key that unlocks the secrets of the universe. He dedicated the entire second half of his life to exploring its mysteries. This volume presents the bulk of Crowley's written works on the subject and includes “The Gnostic Mass,” “Energized Enthusiasm,” “Liber A'ash,” “Liber Chath,” and “Liber Stellae Rubeae.”
Living Thelema

Book Description
“The most thorough and understandable exposition of the underlying theories and the practical applications of the spiritual disciplines of Thelema currently available. A landmark work.” —Lon Milo DuQuette, author of The Magick of Aleister Crowley The system of spiritual attainment developed by Aleister Crowley is notoriously challenging in its scope. Living Thelema, adapted from the popular podcast of the same name, brings a welcome approachability to Crowley’s material, without diminishing the depth of the system. The author focuses on the practical and experiential aspects of the path of Thelema, allowing the reader to grasp the true transformative power of the system. Beginners and advanced practitioners alike will find much useful advice here, as Shoemaker brings his characteristic down-to-earth style to bear on topics such as ritual and meditation practices, sex magick, astral projection, psychotherapy for magicians, the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel, and that pinnacle of attainment known as the crossing of the Abyss. The author’s background as a practicing psychotherapist allows an entirely unique fusion of esoteric wisdom and cognitive science. “In this entertaining and (dare I say it?) lively book, David Shoemaker reminds us that Thelema is not just a philosophy or a study but a spiritual practice. From applied ‘how to’ advice to thought-provoking ‘how about’ posers, Dr. Shoemaker offers his personal take—informed by twenty years of walking the talk, along with his incisiveness as a professional therapist—on how to get the most out of the fundamental Thelemic practices of yoga and ritual, both inside and outside of the temple.” —Richard Kaczynski, author of Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley
