Charles Stansfeld Jones - Bibliography

Bibliography

After two of his pieces had been published in Crowley's journal The Equinox, Jones self-published his book Q.B.L., and then wrote several books that were issued through the Yogi Publication Society of Chicago. Jones self-published others with a "Collegium ad Spiritum Sanctum, Publications Department" imprint. Many of his writings remained unpublished on his death.

• A Master of the Temple, Liber CLXXV (issued in The Equinox III:1, also known as the "Blue" Equinox) This text is the published form of Jones' earliest magical records.
• "Stepping Out of the Old Aeon and into the New" (also in the "Blue" Equinox), a short homily on Thelema and solar consciousness.
• Thirty-one Hymns to the Star Goddess, a monograph consisting of elegant meditations on Liber Legis.
• Q.B.L., or The Bride's Reception, the first of Achad's major qabalistic works. His radical reassignment of the attributions of the paths is first intimated in an appendix to this book.
• Crystal Vision through Crystal Gazing, an instructional text on scrying.
• The Chalice of Ecstasy, a study of the symbolism of Wagner's Parsifal, in Thelemic terms. The book includes long passages quoted from Crowley's work, and a set of original qabalistic interpretations.
• The Egyptian Revival, explores and details the qabalistic revisionism first suggested in Q.B.L..
• The Anatomy of the Body of God, Jones' third major qabalistic text, following Q.B.L. and The Egyptian Revival. In this book, he discusses in part the interconnectedness of the symbolism of the Tarot and those of the Tree of Life from the Kabbalah.
• De Mysteriis Rosae Rubeae et Aureae Crucis, an analysis of magical formulae of the Adeptus Minor grade in A∴A∴.
• Liber Thirty-one (published posthumously), a magical record detailing Jones' initiation(s) in the Third Order of A∴A∴, and providing a great deal of original interpretation of Liber Legis.

Unpublished writings include:

• The Alpha and Omega of Initiation, summarizing Jones' appreciation of the O.T.O. and A∴A∴ systems.
• A Master of the Temple, part two (previously and currently projected for publication by O.T.O. in The Equinox III:2)
