This landmark edition of Liber AL vel Legis, the Book of the Law, is fully enumerated according to the English Qaballa, the Book's own in-text cipher Key.
This book is the answer to the difficulties once faced by English Qabalists who made their own enumerations of Liber AL by hand. Those private editions from the late 20th century are extremely rare and hard to find; The Numbers & the Words follows the scheme of presentation devised by James Lees and his group for the first enumerated Liber AL. Each page of text is a work of art, designed to show clearly all the numeric values beneath the words, with the total values of all the punctuated phrases and the sum total of every verse included.
About the author
Cath Thompson has been a practising initiate of the English Qaballa since 1980 when she became the youngest member of the group led by James Lees, the magician who obtained the Order and Value of the English Alphabet encoded in the manuscript of Liber AL vel Legis in 1976. Lees appointed her as his literary executor, and since his death in 2015 Thompson has written four books about EQ published by Hadean Press, and contributed to the Hadean facsimile reprint of the first articles about the new Qaballa, written and published in The New Equinox/British Journal of Magick by Lees in 1980-82. Thompson published a private limited edition of the Book of the Law enumerated according to EQ in 1995. She has recently designed and published a limited edition of an English Qaballistic Tarot deck. Cath Thompson's occult work continues to explore and consolidate the system of the English Qaballa.
