Hast thou not proclaimed: All the sorrows are but shadows, they pass and are done, but there is that which remains?

Crystal gazing can help the seer come into contact and communicate with intelligences of a higher order. He discusses the history of crystal gazing, how to get started, and what the seer can expect as well as difficulties and how to overcome them. He also discusses using this skill in ceremonial rituals. He references the methods of Trithemius and includes a section on John Dee and Edward Kelly's Enochian angelic scrying conversations. There are also quite a few of the earliest Thelemic references in this audiobook, for fans of the author.

Thirty-One Hymns to the Star Goddess
Summary
In 1923, Achad published an edition of only 220 copies of a series of hymns or poetic devotions, in a manner slightly reminiscent of Crowley’s own emphatic style, aimed at adoring the Egyptian goddess Nuit (the number 220, being intended to align with the number of verses in Aleister Crowley’s own Book of the Law). Achad titled his own book, Thirty-One Hymns to the Star Goddess. The goddess Nuit features prominently in the first chapter of the Book of the Law, and the many quotations attributed to the Star-Goddess in Achad’s small collection have been taken directly from the Book of the Law.
