Written after his expulsion by Mussolini from the abbey of Thelema in Cefalu, Sicily, these records consolidate the work that Crowley began in Cefalu and explore more deeply the various techniques of cabalistic and sexual magic, as well as his contact with the Arab magic of North Africa.

This new edition provides diaries which consolidate Crowley's works and will provide new details on his works and significance to the 20th century. These complete diaries cover his entire career in magic up to his death in 1947 and should be considered definitive works for any interested in Crowley's life and beliefs. -- Midwest Book Review
