The titles of these volumes are: Part One: Towards the Golden Dawn. Part Two: The Mystical Adventure. Part Three: The Advent of the Aeon of Horus. Part Four: Magical Workings. Part Five: The Magus and Part Six: At the Abbey of Thelema. Although the Professional & Tech Program, as well as the Mystic Arts edition is listed above and are mentioned on the copyright page of the Bantam Books edition, we have yet to locate anyone who has ever seen copies.”

The mystical significance of written symbols, Secret Chiefs, and the mathematical relationships of numbers, such as Crowley’s own '666' seem to escape me. But a very strange thing happened while typing a draft of this review. My finger slipped for a moment as I was underlining between quotations. Instead of a line, for three spaces I typed what was the lower case of that key: 666. I stared in disbelief.”
