In between sessions working on the major works of Massey, I've been going over, making minor fixes and stylistic adjustments to my re-sets (mostly done years & years ago) of a large number of short texts ("Libri") by Crowley from Vol. I of the Equinox or published around the same time, and uploading them to Scribd. The sheer number of these makes adding all the individual links to the general catalogue a bad idea.
A list with outline descriptions of these, extracted from the Equinox and bound up with the "Curriculum of A.'.A.'." may be found here.
Individual links follow. This post will be updated with links as more texts are added.

These are manifestos, broadsides, rants and other public statements, aimed at promoting or expounding the "Law of Thelema," a religious / ethical / philosophical system founded on Liber AL vel Legis. The first four were all published in the "Blue Equinox" in 1919; two had been previously issued as pamphlets and printed in The International, a New York based magazine for which Crowley was writing 1916-17.
Others
(A note: I am not individually posting documents primarily relating to the O.T.O. Some can be found in the Blue Equinox, most of the others I have are still in copyright, as not having been published until the 1970s or later, and were not written for publication. As I have no desire to have this blog or my Scribd account shut down by DMCA strikes, I will not be publishing them, not to mention that doing so would also entail my burning certain bridges.)Liber DCXXXIII: De Thaumaturgia (essay first published in The International)
Liber DCCCL: The Rites of Eleusis. (ritual scripts published in The Equinox)
"Time" and "The Excluded Middle" (essays from AC's Collected Works).
"Eleusis" (essay from AC's Collected Works).
"The Revival of Magick" (essay first published in The International in 1917).
"Good Hunting" (essay first published in The International in 1918).
"The Crisis in Freemasonry" (essay first published in The English Review in 1922).
Magick Without Tears is definitely still in copyright in the USA (first published 1954, copyrights validly renewed in 1982 by O.T.O. under McMurtry) & I have also noticed what appears to be a sneaky attempt to extend the copyrights further: letters 6-8 comprise "The Three Schools of Magick," an essay which had previously been published in German translation by Thelema Verlag ca. 1927; these are internally credited to Gérard Aumont, a Tunisian journalist who had translated The Book of the Law into French, but had been generally regarded by bibliographers and scholars (Gerald Yorke, Martin P. Starr and others) as being by Crowley himself (one point of the essay at the time of its original composition and first publication was to promote Crowley as "World Teacher" against the claims being made for Jiddu Krishnamurti by the Theosophical Society). A news post dated April 2018 on the O.T.O. International Headquarters site (a) states that O.T.O. has acquired the copyrights to Aumont's works (which are still in term pretty much everywhere) and (b) argues for Aumont being the actual author of "The Three Schools of Magic."
