Reviews for Aleister Crowley’s Secret Temple…
“This book is excellent! A must have for any library. The author certainly knows her subject. I’ve been studying Merkabah since the early 90’s. She is an expert in this field. They long encoded mysteries have been brought forth! This is artistic genius!” ~ By PLaGuardia.
“The ‘Book of The Law’ is probably Crowley’s greatest literary achievement, if not one of the most significant texts of esoteric lore. To fully understand and appreciate its multi-faceted content Alrah Fraser delves deep into the ‘mystery behind the mystery’, a concept that is at the heart of much arcane knowledge. The ‘Merkabah’ is the key to Crowley’s system, and although this must be thoroughly delineated, it is to the author’s credit that she does not falter whilst gathering together the many threads of the mystery. The result is a clear and concise exposition of this particular fount of learning, one fundamental to any worthwhile understanding of the Kabbalah.” ~ By Caduceus.
“This is not your “run of the mill” take on The Book of the Law using gematria. This is book that looks at the Book of the Law through the eyes of a professional cryptographer! Aleister Crowley’s Liber vel Legis was “unlocked” by Frater Jones using his key of 31. But for a lot of Thelemites (and non-Thelemites) there seemed to be more to this book. Well Soror Alrah Fraser has unlocked even more of Liber vel Legis, and shows how it fits into the Merkuba system of attainment. I highly recommend this book!” ~ By Mysticqabalah.
“For those of us who love Tarot, Numerology, Gematria, Qabalistic studies, Crowley, the mysteries of the universe and more, this carefully illustrated and explained study of the Tree of Life is an informative and enjoyable read.” – By Marie Clewley.
“Everyone who studies magick wants to more deeply understand the universe, and this book greatly assists in meditation and reflection of Liber AL as well as other texts. The addition of the Merkabah as a map of understanding is especially useful for those who have seen the perfection of the universe, to which the Tree in its classical sense is no longer completely valid.” ~ By lasphodelius.
“In the greatest symbolism of all, however, the symbolism beyond all planetary and Zodiacal considerations, this card is the feminine complement of the Fool, for the letters Aleph Lamed constitute the secret key of the Book of the Law, and this is the basis of a complete Qabalistic system of greater depth and sublimity than any other. The details of this system have not yet been revealed. It has been thought right, nevertheless, to hint at its existence by equating the designs of these two cards.” – Aleister Crowley, The Book of Thoth, Adjustment.

I will show in my analysis that a substantial amount of gematria was carefully embedded into the verses and it’s my hypothesis that these numerical constructions are intended to function in a similar way to the spells of the Egyptian Book of the Dead.
The corresponding verse for the Lamed in Genesis is: “Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.” Aleister Crowley believed the Lamed was associated with the Goddess Ma’at therefore there may have been one last and final test of the deceased that was something like the weighing of the heart ritual (against the feather of Ma’at) here. On the other hand it’s equally possible that the Hebrew tradition was distinctly different. The theme of the verse is one of praise.
