About Feast of the Second Day of the Writing of the Book of the Law
The Feast of the Second Day of the Writing of the Book of the Law is a significant observance in Thelema, a spiritual philosophy developed by Aleister Crowley in the early 20th century. This feast commemorates the second day during which Crowley claimed to have received the text of the Book of the Law, a central sacred text for Thelemites, which outlines the principles of Thelema, including the famous maxim "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law."
Celebrated annually on April 9th, this observance is marked by various rituals, gatherings, and personal reflections among practitioners of Thelema. The day serves as an opportunity for Thelemites to engage in spiritual practices, study the text, and celebrate the teachings of Crowley. The observance emphasizes the importance of individual will and the pursuit of one's true path in life.
The Feast of the Second Day of the Writing of the Book of the Law is part of a series of feasts that honor the writing and teachings of the Book of the Law, which is considered a pivotal work in modern occultism. This observance is recognized worldwide, with Thelemites participating in both private and public ceremonies to honor the significance of the day and its teachings.
