Achad, Typescript, Frater Achad, Unus in
Omnibus. Fra. A.'.A.'. Achad 1 = 10 Parzival IXth hon. X OTO, Typescript 3
pages each headed with OTO Lamen. The paper size is legal (14ins x 8.5ins)
which is much larger than usual sizes so the text, at about 210 lines is far
longer than would be expected on three sheets. It appears to be a carbon copy,
perhaps generated using a somewhat smaller sheet of carbon paper (foolscap?) as
the last line or so has not come though. However there are penned annotations
in what would most certainly appear to be Achad's hand which add the missing
text. The text is a summation by Achad of significant occult events in his life
leading up to his realization of the A.'.A.'. degree of Master of the Temple on
17th July 1906, the date of this document, having taken the Oath of the Abyss
the previous month. The is reference to the O.T.O., giving initiations, gradual
realization of the nature of the IXth degree, a good deal concerning the implications
of magical work upon his relationships, references to inner plane insights and
of course communications with Crowley.
Many contemporary records have snippets of significant information
amongst considerable information no longer relevant. As this is a summary of
magical progress it is dense with significant detail. We await a substantial
biography of Achad and this would have to be an important source document for
anyone researching for that work. Hitherto the most complete description can be
found in Martin Starr's Unknown God, Teitan 2003. It is clear that he did not have access to this document,
discussing the day that Achad took the
Oath of the Abyss in front of fellow OTO members he states on page
"Although Smith included the momentous events of the day in his diary, he
felt Jones was the proper one to record them. Without Smith's record we would
know little of what occurred. The entry of June 20, 1916, in Jones diary reads
in toto "11.34pm Proclamation of M.T." This document has 125 words
for that day, describing what happened immediately after the proclamation. The
next day Starr reports that Achad's diary states "10pm Died + Retd. Abyss
Passed". This document describes the same event with 37 words describing
how it was induced and his experience of it. One presumes that Smith sent the
top copy to Crowley to demonstrate his attainment however if so it was lost,
together with a diary of sex magick workings which he also sent to the Old Man
that has not survived. Ruby Jones, Achad's wife had a large collection of his
papers, now in a private collection. Martin Starr has access to copies of these
so it would appear that no version survives there. One can imagine this
document may have references (for example, apparently, to a secret affair)
which he may not have wanted his wife to see. Anyway it does appear that this
typescript, which was passed by Achad to his successor as head of the Universal
Brotherhood may well be the only one extant. The edges of all three pages are
very chipped and worn and dog eared with numerous tears. Text and lamen
unaffected. Good Order No. 110965 £2000

Crowley, but no longer communicated in the Caliphate OTO. It is informed by an

Crowley, Book of Goetia, First Impressions 1993 ix + 65pp 13ins x 9ins. This edition is
highly sought after as the text is a facsimile of Crowley's personal copies of
the 1904 first edition reproducing the substantial annotations therein. These
commence with three pages carrying Gerald Yorke's notes. The Preliminary
Invocation or Bornless ritual is given twice. The first reproduces the text
from Crowley's vellum bound copy, the second presents the text from Crowley's
camel hair bound copy which has a different set of annotations. These will be
important for anyone studing the genesis of Liber Samekh. Whilst the
Introduction has only two additional annotated footnotes by Crowley the text
itself has seven illustrations of Goetic demons by Crowley, plus some
additional annotations. There is then a two page list in the hand of Gerald
Yorke giving the appearance of the demons from the Bagh-I-Muattar plus
Crowley's sources for that material. Finally there are three pages of Enochian
Calls in the hand of Leah Hirsig plus a pages reproducing talismans from
Crowley's Temple of L.I.L. in Mexico.
As York notes here the text of the Goetia itself was derived from
original manuscripts by MacGregor Mathers - the "Dead Hand" referred
to in the title - though, in fact, very much alive in 1904. He was dead only in
so much that he and Crowley had fallen out!

the case of the monograph on Spare a reproduction of one of magical stele
created by Spare for the Grants. Given the series started 50 years after Volume
I No.1 of Crowley's Equinox it has been suggested that the original publication
was intended as expressing a period of Speech of the A .'.A .'., to be preceded
and followed by a period of 5 years of Silence. The original essays and
illustrations are reproduced here with substantial new material including
detailed illustrations of magical regalia of the Golden Dawn and also the
Enochian tablets. There are also extra illustrations of the Vault of the
Adepts. All are reproduced using high quality colour printing techniques onto
