The book consists of 80 letters to various students of magick. Originally to be titled Aleister Explains Everything, the letters offer his insights into both magick and Thelema--Crowley's religious and ethical system--with a clarity and wit often absent in his earlier writings. The individual topics are widely varied, addressing the orders O.T.O. and AA, Qabalah, Thelemic morality, Yoga, astrology, various magical techniques, religion, death, spiritual visions, the Holy Guardian Angel, and other issues such as marriage, property, certainty, and meanness. The book is considered by many as perhaps Crowley's most notable contribution to the occult studies, defining magick for the 20th century.… (mere)
A classic read for the perplexed who want to understand Crowley and his teachings, after reading hundreds of pages .
Magick Without Tears is the Crowley-writen half of a correspondence between a student of him (reasonably safe to believe to be a lady because addressed Soror) and Crowley himself, from his autumn years. The book might have well seen release under title "Uncle AL explains it all". Here Crowley answers to dozens of questions imposed on him, trying to unfold his own teachings often found hard if not unintelligible at worst, revealing a lot of himself as a man, too. Refreshing and educative.
What about the other half of the correspondece? Anybody with understanding of the rudimentary teachings of Crowley can do for the most of time without, though one might like to refer to other books by Crowley. At some points a reader might want to know what exactly it was that Crowley was asked, to further clarify oblique parts that obvious contain puns. ( )
