He also recognised the importance of astrology as one of the keys to grasping the secret workings of the universe, and in this book his literary executor, John Symonds, author of THE GREAT BEAST, and Kenneth Grant, present head of the occult organisation founded by Crowley, have collected all of Crowley's writings on the subject. The TREATISE ON ASTROLOGY [Liber 536] is a masterly introduction to the science, relating astrology to other occult systems such as the Tarot and the Qabalah, as well as providing interpretations of the astrological profiles of historical figures from Shakespeare to WB Yeats. It is accompanied by two typically Crowleyan works: HOW HOROSCOPES ARE FAKED, a bitingly satirical portrait of a fraudulent astrologer, and BATRACHOPHRENOBOOCOSMOMACHIA, an occult work explaining the technique of expanding consciousness to the stars and planets.
