Aleister Crowley’s channelled work, Liber AL vel Legis, or Book of the Law (1904), is riddled, literally, with number and word puzzles that challenge the reader to comprehend.

I’m writing a book about the Cube of Space, a little-known Qabalistic glyph that can be worked with using the imagination. I started it in 2023 but decided to put it off for a while. I was writing a therapy book at the same time, and I started to find it tricky to simultaneously write
The Book of Lambspring is a fascinating alchemical picture-book created at the end of the 16th century, and credited to Frenchman, Nicholas Barnaud.
