and if you don’t, then… well, good luck. You can find your copy of
the book online and at that guy you know’s house. You know. That

'The Book of Lies'
by Aleister Crowley
An admirable collection of Crowley's aphorisms-- Witty,
subtle, and instructive paradoxes that challenge and
exhilarate.
2018 Facsimile of 1962 Edition. The Book of Lies was
written by occultist and teacher Aleister Crowley and first
published in 1912 or 1913.. As Crowley describes it: "This book
deals with many matters on all planes of the very highest
importance. It is an official publication for Babes of the Abyss,
but is recommended even to beginners as highly suggestive." The
book consists of 93 chapters, each of which consists of one page of
text. The chapters include a question mark, poems, rituals,
instructions, and obscure allusions and cryptograms. The subject of
each chapter is generally determined by its number and its
corresponding Qabalistic meaning. Around 1921, Crowley wrote a
short commentary about each chapter, assisting the reader in the
Qabalistic interpretation. These commentaries are included in this
edition.
