    Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

    I was told there exists a commentary by Crowley on Liber A'ash. Could someone please direct me to where this is published? My search queries are to no avail. If it is available online, a link would be most appreciated.

    Love is the law, love under will.

    Frater Achad had a particular interpretation (a particular point of view) of Liber A'ash, and Crowley told him to write it up as a commentary. (I know some people think this was confirmation that Crowley agreed with the p.o.v. I've always taken it, though, as a teacher drawing out the direction a student was already going.) Crowley then commented on Achad's write-up (essentially "grading the paper").

    I think this is in print - maybe in HB's volume on commentaries on the Holy Books? There are also some short AC notes, amounting to marginalia. I know where these all are in my files, but I'd have to dig through my library to recall where they may be in print.

    This appears to be it: gclvx.org/astronargon/Liber%20A%20Ash%20with%20commentaries.doc
    (Google didn't produce this at all - at least, not on the first page or so - but Bing brought it up with the search terms: Achad "Liber A'ash" commentary.)

    First, thanks for linking me to that document; it will certainly suffice for the time being, but I would like a nicely-bound-something to hold in my hands, as is generally the case.

    Are you referring to Equinox Vol. IV No. 1? I don't see it listed in the Table of Contents provided in the link, unless its included the last section, "Shorter Commentaries to the Holy Books."

    If you would please do so at your earliest convenience, it would be greatly appreciated.

    That's where it would be if it's in that book - because it's just a few short margin notes.

    If it's not in that book, then I suspect it isn't published. I have a hard copy that Soror Meral gave me years ago from A.'.A.'. archives.

    Yes, it's in the shorter commentaries. There's Crowley's brief notes and Achad's commentary with Crowley's responses.
