Moonlight readings - Rare occult books

Aleister Crowley was without doubt one of the most influential occult practitioners of the this century. Born in Warwickshire in 1875 (died in 1947), he soon rebelled against the strict Christian-fundamentalist upbringing of his Plymouth Brethren family. In 1898 he left Cambridge University without taking a degree, and in the same year published his first book of poetry. It was also the year in which he joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a group given to the practice of ceremonial magic whose membership include the poet W.B. Yeats and a number of other literary, thespian, and artistic luminaries of the time. Here are some exemple of interesting and rare occult books.
