All This and a Book - Thompson Cath

In her third book Thompson chronicles the most significant evolutionary breakthrough in occult history, the decoding and proof of the Holy Book known as Liber AL vel Legis, the Book of the Law.

Prophesied within the Book itself, the order and value of the English Qaballa was obtained by James Lees in 1976. This is a frank account of that momentous discovery, and forty years of pioneering research and development of the first complete magickal system of alphanumeric correspondences in the English language. Thompson tells the inside story of the group led by Lees for eleven years, with eye-witnessed details of their methods and experiments, their meetings and their rituals - including the infamous '16 naked witches' gathering of midsummer 1984. She describes Lees' magickal career, and the contributions that she was able to make to his exploration of the new system, and how the legendary 11^th Continuum EQ website came into being at the turn of the century.

This book is also a personal memoir of Initiation into the Mysteries, written by a dedicated E. Qaballistic Magickian and High Priestess. Thompson candidly relates her encounters with the Western Magical Tradition, her own Man of Earth ceremony, and the ordeals and visionary experiences of the first thirty-five years of her journey with the English Qaballa.
