Book of the Law

The Book of the Law, written by Aleister Crowley in 1904, is a central text of Thelema, a spiritual philosophy that emphasizes individual freedom and personal will. The text, received during a mystical experience, proclaims the principle of "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," suggesting that true morality stems from pursuing one's own true will. Tied to concepts of love, liberty, and the pursuit of self-knowledge, it challenges traditional religious and moral norms, advocating for personal exploration and understanding as pathways to spiritual fulfillment.
