Thelema Texts

This is a reference catalog from the Sacred Texts website listing the canonical writings of Thelema, the occult philosophical and religious system founded by Aleister Crowley in the early twentieth century. The collection spans texts associated with two interlinked organizations — Crowley's A.'. A.'. (Argentium Astrum) and the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO) — and is organized as a table of "Libers" (books), each assigned a Roman numeral, an OTO classification of importance, and a brief description. The texts cover a wide range of esoteric practices including ritual magic, Qabalah, sex magick, yoga, astral projection, and initiation rites, as well as translations of Eastern classics (the Tao Teh Ching, the Khing Kang King) reinterpreted through a Thelemic lens. A distinctive feature of the collection is its hierarchical classification system, which signals each text's doctrinal weight, alongside frank acknowledgment that the OTO claims copyright over documents that may legally be in the public domain. The catalog functions less as a readable work and more as a research finding aid for scholars, practitioners, or curious readers seeking to navigate the sprawling Thelemic literary canon.
