[This was the personal copy of the author, Frater Achad (אחד) which means one, more precisely ‘a single entity but made up of more than one part.’ Achad was the magickal name of Charles Stansfeld Jones (1886-1950). At the time of the writing of this work, Frater Achad believed himself to be the magical child of Aleister Crowley as evidenced by the dedication ‘To My Magical Sire, The Prophet of the Aeon.’ As an initiate of O.T.O., he served as the principal organizer for that order in British Columbia, Canada and was eventually made Grand Master (X°) for North America by Theodor Reuss. A unique volume of historical and magical significance.]
