Atlantis. Liber LI. The Lost Continent.

Atlantis. Liber LI. The Lost Continent.

Malton, Ontario, Canada: Dove Press, 1970. First edition. Hardcover. Octavo. x + 70pp. Original dark pink cloth with gilt title, etc. to spine. Referred to by Kenneth Anger who authored the very brief Foreword as a "sexual-magical treasure." Crowley's Atlantis is said to be "An account of the continent of Atlantis: the manners and customs, magical rites and opinions of its people, together with a true account of the catastrophe, so called, which ended in its disappearance" although in other writings Crowley allowed that there was more than a hint of satire in some parts of the work, whilst others were thinly-veiled metaphor. Errata slip loosely inserted. Cloth rubbed and darkened with a brown (coffee) splash to upper board, page edges darkened, gift inscription on front blank but no other markings, pages toned. Despite signs of use - still a tight, clean near VG copy (no dust jacket). Item #63943
