"On Thelema" by Aleister Crowley

IO PAN! and Shemyaza Camp

  • Originally conceived in 2009 as a project to be included with Sorath, the journal of Shemesh Lodge, the newly released EP is a four track Thelemic gem of epic scope. The limited release vinyl contains two tracks: "Prologue to the Unborn" and "Hymn to Pan." Both are performed by members of Shemyaza Camp and set to original contemporary scores by Brother Cameron Leonard-Schroff, a respected electronic music artist in his own right.

    Purchasing the vinyl means you get an exclusive download code to all four tracks, which means that along with those also found on the vinyl, you get "Liber B vel Magi" and "LBRP" too. All are downloadable as MP3 files for you to keep. All 4 tracks are to original scores which bring some of Crowley's best-known works into a totally modern paradigm.

    Take a look at the preview on YouTube. If you like what you hear, please support the work of Shemyaza Camp and get a piece of this very limited edition slice of Thelemic media history. All proceeds go to the running of Shemyaza Camp, who are dedicated to promulgating the Law of Thelema in the Valley of Brighton, UK and beyond.

    If you wish to purchase the vinyl and download code for all 4 tracks, please email: shemyaza@oto-uk.org for more info.

    This release was made possible with the generous assistance of UK Grand Lodge of O.T.O.
