AHA !

Excellent poetry and commentary!!

Beautiful! Brilliant!

Crowley is a maddening author, full of wisdom and insight and equally full of outrageous lies and obnoxious egotism. This is one of the examples of the latter; it's basically just extremely bad poetry pertaining to his particular teachings, at least the ones he was trumpeting at the time he wrote it. If you want to find out more about Crowley, "Magick Without Tears" and "The Book of the Law" are far more enlightening and inspired than this book, which is quite frankly tripe, and very rank tripe at that.

Crowley reveals insights while entertaining with some very enjoyable poetry. I mostly enjoy learning through prose but I was still pleased with this book. Others that enjoy learning mostly through art and poetry should strongly consider this book if they are interested in Crowley, the OTO, or the A.'.A.'.

Aleister Crowley is an excellent metrical poet, often expressing profound depth and sublimity, however, Aha is terrible in contrast to some of his other writing, such as Ch'ing-Ching Ching or Tannhauser. Aha brutalizes and oversimplifies the very real inner experiences which characterize the magickal path, of which Aleister Crowley was a Master. Aha strips the magickal art to it's bare bones, glorifying the mundane methodical approach to magick. However, the poem redeems itself in that it is an excellent way of introducing the layman or aspiring initiate to the path. Otherwise it is boring, go buy something else.

AHA is a name for god in a langauge, I forget which. It is not really all that strange that Crowley would name a book after his god. I think it might be Egyptian.

very good
