hybrid of gnostic Islam and Zoroastrianism.Liber AL vel Legis, on the other hand, was composed (orreceived, depending on your perspective) by the most notorious“black magician” of the 20 th century, Aleister Crowley. Liber ALrevived the concept of shifting Aeons, which has had a long historyin the West under various guises (e.g. Astrological Ages, Joachim ofFlora, et al.), and boldly proclaimed the dawn of a new religious eracomplete with a new prophet - none other than Crowley himself. Thetext of AL is replete with various symbolisms from a wide array ofsources, as we should expect from someone of Crowley’s depth:Egyptian mythos, modern mathematics, Eastern philosophy,ceremonial magick, (then) current events, romantic poetry, etc. Itsgenius lies not in what it reveals, but in what it conceals, and it hasthus been the focus of many an eager exegesis.Though these two texts are similar only in their brevity andpopular obscurity, they also function as semi-legitimate codices to anascent religion which ought to operate without such a need.A properly mythological outlookbegins with spontaneous andmomentary intrusions of thenuminous into the field of consciousapperception, or the (im)mediacy ofthe transcendental divine into theworld of phenomena. That this is everpresentand yet only occasionallyintuited is what leads to thecategorization of the Source as otheror alien, and what eventually leads to
the cloistering of the spiritual withinthe institutions of priesthood, ritual,and dogma. This process is mirroredin the mythological transformation ofthe daimon into the angel, glyphed inthe reverse through the allegory of theFall. Each spontaneous mediation isrightly speaking, daimonic, yet devoidof categorization and transpersonal inits immediacy. When this processbecomes abstracted and congealedinto a systematic spiritual worldview,the angel replaces the daimon as thevehicle of traversing the Abyss (ineither direction), and represents anartificial rigidization of a process whichis naturally fluid. That this falsecoagulation infects the entire Westerntradition, both exoteric and esoteric,mainstream and occult, mystical andmagickal, is beyond doubt. And yet,this is precisely the starting point for
