Crowley, Aleister ~ Aleister Crowley : The Last Ritual : One of Only 200 Copies Issued

Privately Printed : 1987

Aleister Crowleys funeral last ritual book, privately printed in 1987 and issued in a limited number of 200, this being number 154. Issued to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Crowleys death on 1st December 1947. The book is in  good condition a couple of marks on the front cover, no  damage. 12 pages stapled with printed green card covers. A little light creasing and marking to the card covers.  This is the first reissue of the funeral book. The Foreword states that this is an exact facsimile of the book issued to mourners upon the event of his cremation Brighton. The original was a limited edition 200, & printed in a great hurry ( the reason behind the date of his birth on the cover being wrong, he was born on the 12th October!). As this is an exact copy, the error has been left in!.......This edition being number 154 out of 200. It will not be reprinted , the plates are destroyed. B/W cover design and full page illustration by Frieda Harris, the designer of the Thoth Tarot deck. The book is protected in a loose Mylar archival cover. This edition is not to be confused with a later edition issued by The Mandrake Press some years later as part of the Mandrake Press booklets in which Crowleys birth date has been corrected. Crowley died at Netherwood of chronic bronchitis aged 72 years. His funeral was held at Brighton Crematorium on the 5th of December 1947. About a dozen people attended, and Louis Wilkinson read excerpts from The Gnostic Mass,The Book of Law, and Hymn to Pan. The funeral generated press controversy and was labelled a Black Mass by the tabloids. Crowleys ashes were sent to Karl Germer in the USA, who buried them in his garden in Hampton, New Jersey. A very scarce publication.
