Aleister Crowley bibliography

None

Aleister Crowley (12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947) was an English writer, not only on the topic of Thelema and magick, but also on philosophy, politics, and culture. He was a published poet and playwright and left behind many personal letters and daily journal entries. Most of Aleister Crowley's published works entered the public domain in 2018.

Many of the important works of Aleister Crowley are in the form of Libri (lit. "books"), which are usually short documents consisting of core teachings, methodologies, practices, or Thelemic scripture. All the libri are given a number in the Roman numeral system, and those that are part of the A∴A∴ curriculum are assigned a "class" as follows:

Class [A] consists of books of which may be changed not so much as the style of a letter: that is, they represent the utterance of an Adept entirely beyond the criticism of even the Visible Head of the Organization. Class [B] consists of books or essays which are the result of ordinary scholarship, enlightened and earnest. Class [C] consists of matter which is to be regarded rather as suggestive than anything else. Class [D] consists of the Official Rituals and Instructions. Class [E] consists of manifestos, broadsides, epistles and other public statements. Some publications are composite, and pertain to more than one class. Many of the books and articles are major works of Aleister Crowley. This is a listing with liber number, Roman number, class, full title, and a short description.
