The Book of the Law is the central sacred text of Thelema, written by Aleister Crowley, who claimed it was dictated to him by a discarnate entity named "e;Aiwass"e;. Through the reception of this book, Crowley proclaimed the arrival of a new stage in the spiritual evolution of humanity, to be known as the 'on of Horus'. The primary precept of this new aeon is the charge to "e;Do what thou wilt"e;. According to Crowley, the story began with his wife Rose Edith Kelly, while spending the night in the King's Chamber of the Great Pyramid of Giza. Although she could see nothing, she did seem to enter into a light trance and repeatedly said, "e;They're waiting for you!"e; Since Rose had no interest in magic or mysticism, he took little interest. However after invoking Thoth (the god of knowledge), she mentioned Horus by name as the one waiting for him. Crowley, still skeptical, asked her numerous questions about Horus, which she answered accurately supposedly without having any prior study of the subject.
