When American rapper/songwriter Herbert Anthony Stevens IV, better known by his stage name Ab-Soul released his forth studio album Do What Thou Wilt. in 2016, that is when I was introduced to Aleister Crowley and my curiosity about The Book of Lies was thus conceived.



Fortunately the book is available on free public domains for download. You can download the audiobook on Libri Vox and there's a PDF, which I would highly recommend if you're going to read/listen to the book. The PDF has notes and commentary to help decode the cryptic writing of the book.
You can easily dismiss the book because of the author's history of experimenting with drugs, but the book has some good chapters.

Audiobook Comments:
Narrated by P. J. Taylor who gives a pretty theatrical performance. I would suggest you play the audiobook at 1x because at normal speed it sounds slow and some words are unclear at 1.5x or 2x

cuvtixo the pdf (from pauladaunt.com) looks good. I'm puzzled about the audiobook, because 1X IS normal speed, AFAIK, and I don't have 1.25X as a setting. So, is this another lie?!?!? lol


Nando Gigaba Hey,

On the app I use, 0 is the normal speed then it goes up.
