""Book 4" is probably 'Uncle Al's most accessible volume, aside from his few fiction works. Succinctly written and annotated, it concerns the very basics of yoga, meditation & ceremonial magic (or 'magick', if you prefer). There are no "spells" listed, or even rituals.
The first half of the book concerns yoga and meditation. Crowley scales the theory back to a simple guide--explaining dhyarna, samadhi, etc. in a way that even those with no experience of yoga can understand.
The second half goes through all of the items needed for ceremonial magic (the altar, sword, pantacle, crown, etc.). Each item is described in detail--what material it should be made from, it's dimensions and it's symbolism as part of the "Great Work".
Crowley's sly humour comes through in a small section where a few nursery rhymes are deconstructed to show their 'coded' magical references. There's a larger volume, called "Liber ABA", which contains all of "Book 4", along with "Magick In Theory And Practice" and "The Book Of The Law", but it's pricey and can be a bit daunting.
I'd recommend the slimmer "Book 4" as a good starting point for anyone interested in Crowley or ceremonial magic."
"The most concise introduction to yogic meditation I've encountered, and in typical Crowley form, the least compromising. Traditional yet non-mystical, specific in its description of the progressively objective states of consciousness and the steps taken to attain them, it is evident that he is presenting what he has personally verified by experience ...wait, did I lend you my copy of this? Where'd mine go?"
