The Book of Lies and OTO

Aleister Crowley wrote the Book of Lies in 1912. This is an exercise in writing which is made up of 93 chapters. The information is in no way related to anything else in the book. Each chapter is a magickal exercise. The contents of each exercise are dictated by the number of the chapter. This book was written a couple years after Aleister Crowley was appointed the British Head of the Oriental Templars.

Crowley met Theodor Reuss in the year 1910. Reuss was much impressed by Aleister Crowley. Crowley chose the magickal name Baphomet after his appointment in the OTO. The rituals which were in English were all revised to conform with the teaching of The Book of The Law. Crowley succeeded Reuss as the Outer Head of the OTO upon Reuss Death in 1923.
