"Few writers manage to illuminate the inner fire of Thelema with such balance of intellect and heart. In The Holy Year of Thelema, Maevius Lynn transforms the ritual calendar of Aleister Crowley's tradition into a living cycle of devotion—where philosophy becomes prayer and practice becomes revelation.

Moving from the Equinox of the Gods through the holy days of The Book of the Law, Lynn offers both newcomers and seasoned practitioners a way to inhabit the New Aeon as a year-long initiation. A luminous guide to making the Law of Thelema not merely studied but lived."

"In this much-needed contribution to the Thelemic body of texts, Maevius Lynn provides a wonderful foundation for those wanting to integrate more celebratory and seasonal practices into their magical and mystical work. My highest recommendation!"
—David Shoemaker, PsyD, Prolocutor of the Temple of the Silver Star, and author ofLiving Thelemaand other titles
"As in many religious contexts, holy days are established to recognize significant events in the history of that system of beliefs, in the lives of its adherents, or to celebrate the passing of time within the recurrent course of the year. These holy days are often marked by rituals and celebrations unique to the religious culture in which they are manifest, and Thelema is no different. Maevius Lynn has created an excellent and focused work for anyone seeking to better understand the specific observations, customs, and traditions of the Thelemic calendar as defined in The Book of the Law," a work that has until now been notably absent."
—Colin D. Campbell author of Thelema: An Introduction to the Life, Work, and Philosophy of Aleister Crowley
