There's a question that has been torturing me for a while, when did Crowley do the Abramelin operation in his Boleskine house? What year? I imagine it was before 1904 but I can't find the precise date.

Also, as a bonus,
Did it happen before or after the reception of Liber Al? I imagine it was before, but since I can't find precise dates on the Abramelin ordeal, I don't know for sure, any help?

really? I looked for Saint Google for help and could not find it! Maybe He suspects my love for that pagan yahoo! and it's making me pay for it!

Anyway, thanks a million for your help.

93!

The trouble with Google is that you are compelled to give up looking at ALL results. AC started the Abramelin operation at least as early as 1900 while still in the Golden Dawn (there is a diary of that operation in the Harry Ransom archives) but I believe I remember that it was even in 1899. Some people also claim that he never finished it successfully. Anyway, at Boleskine he only performed the preparations for the Working but the well-known Golden Dawn troubles were calling him away before he could start the actual operation.

The Equinox Of The Gods wrote: › All was ready for the beginning in Easter of 1900, and it must be said that the preliminary work alone is so tremendous that a long story might be written of the events of the 18 months of preparation. The operation itself was however never begun.


Anyway, his efforts for Knowledge and Conversation with the Holy Guardian Angel continued over the years (he even played around with some invocations with Rose in Boleskine) in various places like Mexico in 1902 and finally astrally in China in 1906:

The Equinox Of The Gods wrote: › He then found himself, having destroyed all other Karma, perfectly free to pursue this one work. He then accomplished the six meonths of Invocation, as prescribed in the Book of the Sacred Magic, and was rewarded in October, 1906, by complete success.


If your question is only about Boleskine, I think that narrows it all down to 1899 and 1900. Or so I think.

Isn't this where Uncle Al started the operation, and abandoned it before completion, to continue it in China, visualising all; down to the last detail of The Alter; His concentration so intense, that it took him a while to realise that He, together with the pony He was riding, had fallen over a small cliff? Or does
memory serve me ill, that I mutter rubbish?
Can anyone remember the year of The New Kings road Studio workings? Whereby He did issue Lion Serpents to incarnate 'Officers' of The New Aeon? One knows why, how, but not when. Anyone?
