Page "Charge of the Goddess" Paragraph 1

Several versions exist, though they all have the same basic premise, that of a set of instructions given by the Great Goddess to her worshippers.

The most well known version is that written by Gerald Gardner, and includes material paraphrased works by Aleister Crowley, primarily from Liber ALThe Book of the Law ( particularly from Ch 1, spoken by Nuit, the Star Goddess ), and from his Liber XV: the Gnostic Mass as well as Liber LXV ( Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente, or the Book of the Heart Girt with the Serpent ), thus linking modern Wicca irrevocably to the cosmology and revelations of Thelema.

It has been shown that Gerald Gardner's book collection which was acquired by Ripley's Believe It or Not!

included a copy of Crowley's The Blue Equinox which includes all of the Crowley quotations in the Charge of the Goddess.
