Facing SummonsFirst sketch of a Qabalistic Key to Liber AL ................I38POCKETTHE COMMENTFacsimile of the MS. of Liber ALTHE SUMMONS.On April 8, 9 and I0, I904, e.v. this book was dictated to666 (Aleister Crowley) by Aiwass, a Being whose nature he doesnot fully understand, but who described Himself as "the Ministerof Hoor-Paar-Kraat" (the Lord of Silence).The contents of the book prove to strict scientific demon-stration that He possesses knowledge and power quite beyondanything that has been hitherto associated with human faculties.The circumstances of the dictation are described in theEquinox, Vol. I, No. vii: but a fuller account, with an outlineof the proof of the character of the book is now here to beissued.The book announces a New Law for mankind.It replaces the moral and religious sanctions of the past,which have everywhere broken down, by a principle valid for eachman and woman in the world, and self-evidently indefeasible.The spiritual Revolution announced by the book has alreadytaken place: hardly a country where it is not openly manifest.Ignorance of the true meaning of this new Law has led togross anarchy.

It has leavenedMankind unaware: and Man must make thereof the Bread of Life.Its ferment has begun to work on the grape of thought: Man must
