Lévi makes an allusion to having taken the oath of the “Rosy Cross,” indicating he had been initiated into the quite high degree of Rosicrucian in Freemasonry. Eliphas Lévi, The History of Magic (London: Rider, 1982), p. 286.

Julius Evola, Revolt Against the Modern World (Rochester, Vermont: Inner Traditions, 1995).
[←73]
In this writer’s opinion, Freemasonry is all a bunch of scabrous bastardy, which should be treated with suspicion, whether in its Grand Orient, “irregular,” or United Grand Lodge forms. Westcott, founder of the Golden Dawn, for example regarded the “true religion” of Freemasonry to be Cabbalism. R. A. Gilbert, The Magical Mason: Forgotten Hermetic Writings of William Wynn Westcott, Physician and Magus (Northamptonshire: The Aquarian Press, 1983), Westcott, “The religion of Freemasonry illuminated by the Kabbalah,” ch. 21, pp. 114–23.

Crowley, The Law is for All (Phoenix: Falcon Press, 1985), p. 192.
[←81]
Crowley was also, however, to call Aiwass his own “Holy Guardian Angel,” or in mundane psychological terms his unconscious; therefore Liber al Legis could be regarded as an example of automatic writing, a likely explanation given that the writing styles of Aiwass and Crowley are remarkably similar.
[←82]
For an account of Crowley’s occult career and the so-called “Cairo Working” where Liber al Legis was written, see Colin Wilson, Aleister Crowley: The Nature of the Beast (Wellingborough, Northamptonshire: The Aquarian Press, 1987).

Crowley, Magick, p. 430.
[←84]
Part 3 of Liber Legis is the revelation of Horus as the God of the New Aeon, which aeonically follows that of Isis (matriarchy), and the present Aeon of Osiris, the religions of the sacrificial god, including Christianity. Horus is described as the god of war and vengeance. (Liber Legis 3:3).
