Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
Those of you familiar with the works of Aleister Crowley will be interested
to know that the original manuscript of Liber AL (otherwise known as the
Book of the Law) has been found after an absence of more than a decade.
The manuscript (along with many other items) had been stolen from a house
in West Point, California, by persons unknown. Several weeks ago, the
owner of a local science fiction bookstore (The Other Change of Hobbit)
moved into a new house in North Oakland. While cleaning the basement, he
came upon several boxes of old papers and other assorted junk. Being
a collector, he looked through the material and discovered (among other
things) sixty-six pages of handwriting that looked familiar. Surprise!
Being an honorable man, he has turned over the manuscript and other
material to the Grand Lodge of the Ordo Templi Orientis in Berkeley,
and it is now safely stored in a secret place. This has been cause for
much celebration in the occult community.
Love is the law, love under will.
