Summary
"Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." On the eve of World War I, a secret war is being waged in the shadows of London and Paris. A group of white magicians, led by the enlightened Cyril Grey, embarks on a radical experiment: the creation of a "Moonchild"—a perfect human soul drawn from the heavens to act as a messiah for a new age. But standing in their way is a cabal of black magicians who will stop at nothing to corrupt the experiment and claim the child's power for themselves. A Roman à Clef of the Occult: Moonchild is famously a thinly veiled satire of the real-life rivalries between Crowley and his contemporaries. Beneath the pseudonyms, readers will find biting caricatures of figures like W.B. Yeats, Arthur Edward Waite, and MacGregor Mathers. It is a rare, insider's look at the rituals, philosophies, and ego-clashes that defined the Golden Age of the Occult. A Masterpiece of High Magick: Beyond the drama, the novel serves as a profound exploration of Crowley's own system of "Magick." It delves into the mechanics of the astral plane, the nature of the soul, and the ethical responsibility of the magician. Moonchild blends high-stakes suspense with esoteric wisdom, offering a narrative that is as intellectually challenging as it is thrilling. Step into the circle of power. Purchase "Moonchild" today and witness the birth of a new aeon.
