What are we to make of the Book of the Law?

from Rune Soup

It's the anniversary of the reception of the Book of the Law. Joining me to explore the questions of What to make of it? How to think about it? What, if anything, to do with it Are two very special guests: Alan Chapman and Peter Grey. Now, like me, neither of them is a Thelemite. But what they do have is an encyclopedic knowledge of the era, the material, and the magic behind it. So if you've ever wondered whether the Book of the Law has anything to say to you if you're not already one of Crowley's followers, this is that conversation. Alan's essay, Is A God To Live In A Dog? is referenced several times in the episode. You can download a copy here. Show Notes Peter Grey's Substack. Alan Chapman's website.
