Descripción Soft cover. Condición: Fine. 2005 4to paperback. Illustrated. Fine. Text in German and English. In NUIT you will find easy-to-understand introductory texts to the 66 verses of the first chapter of Liber AL and corresponding collages consisting of the cards from the Thoth Tarot. Hoffmann combines the poetic verses with the images and symbols from the Tarot and creates a synthesis that is unique to date. On the one hand, it breaks down the rigid individual meanings of the cards and creates additional possible interpretations through the composition of the symbolic fibers. Hoffmann's work once again creates the impression of a necessary, creative approach to revelation in Crowley's style. He approaches Liber AL as an artist, which certainly does justice to a comparable work full of poetry and allegory. NUIT is also a workbook, not least because it promotes an unconventional and inventive handling of the Thelema philosophy - this can definitely be described as neo-Aeonian, because Prince Claas of Mars shows that Thelema is not a pseudo-revelation dressed up in religion, but one creative-philosophical method that can result in a reflected art of living. In addition to the collages and the accompanying texts in German and English, the book also contains some essays on the subject of Thelema and anthroposophy and much more." (Alexander Graeff) Perhaps most startling here is Hoffmann's discovery that Crowley's Tarot would certainly have looked very different in many respects without the painter Lady Frieda Harris's interest in anthroposophy.
