"This is the first official, annotated addition of the complete magical diaries of the Swiss-American occultist Leah Hirsig (1883-1975), lover and disciple of the British occultist Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), self-styled Great Beast 666 and founder and prophet of the new religion Thelema. A schoolteacher by training, who lived, loved, and travelled independently, Hirsig embodied New Woman ideals, also in her attraction to a counter-normative occult movement. In the early 1920s, Hirsig was appointed Crowley's Scarlet Woman - a title that identified her as the earthly avatar of the Thelemic goddess Babalon, and as Crowley's feminine counterpart. In this role, Hirsig was essential in stewarding the Thelemic community during an eventful period, which coincided with the establishment of an Abbey of Thelema at CefaluÌ€, Sicily, and the authorship of several of Crowley's important magical works. In 1924, Hirsig was replaced as Scarlet Woman, but remained devoted to Thelema for several years"-- Provided by publisher. edited and introduced by Manon Hedenborg White and Henrik Bogdan.
