An interesting document, whether "inspired" or formulated and crafted, it has been very influential—though also seldom read and less understood, even by its amanuensis. "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law"—but "What wilt thou do?"

Not for the dilettante; you've got to really know your stuff to get this... ( )

"FRATER PERDURABO composed His talisman by invoking His Holy Guardian Angel according to the Sacred Magick of Abramelin the Mage. That Angel wrote on the lamen the Word of the Aeon. The Book of the Law is this writing. To this lamen the Master Therion gave life by devoting His own life thereto. We may then regard this talisman, the Law, as the most powerful that has been made in the world's history, for previous talismans of the same type have been limited in their scope by conditions of race and country."

This book "is the Interpretation of the Secret Will of Man on every Plane of his By-coming."

P.S. "The study of this Book is forbidden."
