"To become initiated into the Holy Mysteries of Light, you must first heed the primal injunction to KNOW THYSELF. To know oneself means to know Divinity, and each Self-seeker needs a path, or a system, that will guide him or her in the right direction.
In Attainment Through Magic (formerly titled A Self Made by Magic), William G. Gray presents a workable system of magical practice anyone can follow that will lead to what he calls the True Self, Immortal Identity, or the Ultimate.
Gray, an experienced and highly respected ceremonial magician, painstakingly constructs this system step by step, concept upon concept, until a complete Magical Cosmos is assembled that is capable of connecting with amazing energies by the invocation of a single word. Everything you need to know is carefully explained and illustrated; all that is needed is desire, patience, and Will.
For the serious student of Magic, this book is an excellent introduction to the art of Self-realization."

Out of print first hardback edition, limited to 350 copies only. Published by Kamuret Press 2021.
Condition: Fine, unread copy. Extremely minor crease to top right dustwrapper, otherwise completely pristine.
Edited, annotated and introduced by Richard Kaczynski, this edition far surpasses that found in the Collected Works: red and black ink has been employed to capture the feel of the 1904 edition; a 50 page introduction by Crowley’s foremost biographer introduces the reader to the many themes to be found throughout the book; finally, copious end-notes further elucidate concepts and ideas in need of clarification.
From the introduction:
‘The Sword of Song is arguably the greatest story never told. It is a book of firsts: his first manifesto, his first talismanic book, his first mystical essays, his first nod to sexual mysteries, and an enticing preview of what was to come in The Book of the Law, the spirit-writing that would form the cornerstone of his philosophy’.
