Description

In Aleister Crowley’s man of Earth grade, you confront a Universe that is suddenly hostile. Our Man of Earth Guide reveals the source of your new spiritual challenges and offers proven techniques for overcoming them. Courage, knowledge, will, and imperviousness to corrupting influences can be yours—so that you may truly live the law of Thelema.

Created for men of Earth in Grady Louis McMurtry’s bloodline of A∴A∴ (Crowley’s Inner School), yet suitable for solo practitioners and others, the Man of Earth Guide conveys

• what makes the A∴A∴ distinct from other magical orders
• a bird’s eye view of the A∴A∴ quest and grades
• the objective, tasks, and obligations of the man of Earth grade
• grade-level readings from the acclaimed Thelemic Essays series (plus others)
• suitable rituals and practices
• questions for self-assessment

all in one convenient book spanning well over 350 pages. The limited-edition hardcover is signed. The limited-edition softcover is unsigned.

The A∴A∴ path is for the “few & secret” (The Book of the Law I:10). If you are called to a higher life, this guidebook will help you find the clarity and direction you need.

**Note: Those who pre-order either version of this book will also receive an exclusive 4″x6″ glossy photo montage of four oil paintings by J. Edward Cornelius depicting the practice of Liber Resh. The book is expected to arrive no later than December 2026.**
