By Aleister Crowley, Israel Regardie, Frater Achad, J. Daniel Gunther, James Wasserman
Aleister Crowley considered AHA! “my greatest magical
poem.” This profoundly esoteric work highlights the two
central experiences of the Path of the Wise—the Knowledge and
Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel and the Crossing of the
Abyss. It also marks Crowley’s final acceptance of the mysteries of
The Book of the Law, and offers his overview of Initiation and the
techniques by which Spiritual Enlightenment may be achieved.
This expanded edition features a new analysis by esoteric teacher
and author, J. Daniel Gunther, who provides Qabalistic insights
into the poem’s extraordinary depth. James Wasserman, a wellknown
writer and student of Crowley, has expanded upon the myth
of Marsyas and Olympas, while placing AHA! within the context
of Crowley’s overall life and teaching. Frater Achad, one of
Crowley’s most important early disciples, wrote an excellent but
little-known commentary on AHA! that is included here. This
volume also features an essay by Dr. Israel Regardie, a primary
Crowley biographer and spokesman.
The poem ends with “Blessing and worship to the Beast, the prophet of
the Lovely Star.” Henceforth I must be no more an aspirant, no more
an adept, no more aught that I could think of as myself. I was the
chosen prophet of the Masters, the instrument fit to interpret their idea
and work their will.” —Aleister Crowley
