Since all men from their birth employ sense prior to intellect, and are necessarily first conversant with sensible things: Some, proceeding no farther, pass through life considering these as first and last; and apprehending what is painful to be evil, what is pleasant to be good, they deem it sufficient to shun the one and pursue the other. Some pretending to greater reason than the rest, esteem this wisdom; like earth-bound birds, though they have wings are unable to fly. The secret souls of others would recall them from pleasure to worthier pursuits; but they cannot soar: they choose the lower way and strive in vain. Thirdly, there are those divine men whose eyes pierce through clouds and darkness to supernal vision, where they abide as in their own lawful country
-- Plotinus

Further details at Treadwells Website
Please book in advance via info@treadwells-london.com or Tel. +44 (0)20 7240 8906.
It looks at Thelema as a philosophy and its place in the Western esoteric tradition - then go on to experience practices and texts that communicate Crowley's magic, including key rituals, the reception of the Book of the Law (Liber Al), and the designs of the Thoth Tarot deck. Throughout, the tutor will explain and explore the world-view underpinning this tradition, to enable familiarity with concepts such as the Aeons, the Gods and Goddesses of the Book of the Law, initiation and the grades of attainment. Marcus Katz will be using material unavailable to the general public, including research conducted in Egypt and notes from Crowley’s original manuscripts. There will be lecture, discussion, document examination, ritual work and meditation.
Marcus Katz is a longstanding magical practitioner who also holds an MA in Western Esotericism (Exeter), now doing doctoral research on western occult groups. He is an inveterate world traveller but currently lives in Cumbria, where he runs an esoteric teaching centre, The Faraway Centre.
The course is not affiliated with any particular interpretation or of Crowley's work.

I have read the forum guidelines and I believe my comment was on topic so I write again.
For me 93£ is a lot of money. Does the overage englishman think otherwise?
And what unavailable material is needed for serious study?

Does it matter? Marcus is talking about Thelema, not Crowleyanity.

Thank you for your clarification. "Practices and texts that communicate Crowley's magic" are noy found solely with OTO and A.A., so far as I'm aware.

That sounds intriguing, Raven - many thanks for your impressions. I met Marcus at Treadwells on the Monday evening following, and would have liked to have gone to the weekend had I not had a prior engagement on the Saturday. Hopefully Marcus will do it again sometime.
Best wishes,
Michael.
