This title, The Complete Aleister Crowley System of Magick, means exactly what it says. While it doescover all of the assignments of the A∴A∴ - which you may know as either the Astrum Argentium or the Astron Argon - it also covers all of his major teachings: Visualization, Meditation, various Eastern practices, Western Magick, and of course especially in regard to the Rosy Cross. This book does use the A∴A∴ grade system, with each grade getting its own chapter. Each chapter will have sections labelled "To Read", "Visionary and Meditative Practices", "Magical and Other Practices", "Holy Books for the Grade", "Examinations", "Initiations", "Pathworking", etc. And Yes!, the author dares to present information on the grades of Magister Templi, Magus and Ipsissimus. This book is very complete and comprehensive. It takes a "brass tacks" sort of approach. Rather than getting all high-and-lofty, it patiently works you through every single assignment for every single grade. If your goal is to work the entire Crowley Curriculum, completely and in order, this book is aimed at you.
