The common defect of all mystical systems previous to that of the Aeon whose Law is Thelema is that there has been no place for Laughter. But the sadness of the mournful Mother and the melancholy of the dying Man are swept in the limbo of the past by the confident smile of the immortal Child.
And there is no Vision more critical in the career of the Adept of Horus than the Universal Joke.
-- Aleister Crowley

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.
