Collected Poems 1946-1996 - Phyllis Seckler - Bog

Phyllis Seckler (aka Soror Meral, 1917-2004) was one of the most important 20th century teachers of Thelema-the philosophy and system of spiritual attainment developed by Aleister Crowley. While Seckler left behind many seminal writings on Thelema, astrology, Qabalah, Tarot, ceremonial magick, and mysticism, her poetry provides one of the most personal and intimate views into her spiritual mindset. The poems collected here span fifty years of her working life as a poet and teacher, primarily focusing on the overtly mystical themes of her spiritual path. Yet they occasionally touch on more secular topics as well, such as her marriage to Grady McMurtry and her yearning for human love. The poetic works presented here are an essential part of the library of any modern mystic-especially those with an interest in the work of Aleister Crowley and his followers.
