About this listen
When Sir Peter Pendragon, a retired pilot of the Great War, meets the free-spirited Louise, a devotee of the mysterious occultist Basil King Lamus, the two immediately get married and set off across Europe, on a drug-fueled honeymoon of heroin and cocaine. Eventually, in an attempt to break free of their recently acquired habit, the newlyweds find their way to the Abbey of Thelema in Italy, where the adults perform invocations to the sun and the children freely recite passages from the Book of the Law. At the guiding hand of King Lamus, the sisters of the Abbey maintain magical diaries, practice strange rituals, and pursue their true will. But what will become of Peter and Lou?

A pursuit of moral, spiritual and religious values
An insightful book into both the world of drug addiction and also our own various addictions; and the pursuit of moral, spiritual and religious values. Beautifully poetically written and narrated. A surprisingly enjoyable and entertaining read about a harsh and difficult subject.

A great intro to Thelema
This is one of my favorite introductions to Thelema. AC's romantic view of the Abbey of Thelema as a magickal place that could transfigure hopeless drug addicts into Thelemites pursuing their true will is aspirational and beautiful.

Do what thou wilt
thoroughly enjoyed this. it was not what I was expecting. it was an interesting look into the perception of heroin and cocaine during that period. also reached a clear understanding of 'do what thou wilt'. i found it helped me on my journey and filled in some gaps psychologically, understanding my own addictions.
