Liber AL vel Legis (Latin pronunciation: [ˈliːber ˈɛɫ weɫ ˈleːd͡ʒis])[citation needed] is the central sacred text of Thelema, written down from dictation mostly by Aleister Crowley, although Rose Edith Crowley is also known to written two phrases into the manuscript of the Book after its dictation. Crowley claimed it was dictated to him by a discarnate entity named Aiwass or Aiwaz. However, the three chapters are largely written in the first person by the Thelemic deities Nuit, Hadit, and Ra-Hoor-Khuit respectively, rather than by Aiwass/Aiwaz.

Have you put any of it to practice?
THE COMMENT.
Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
The study of this Book is forbidden. It is wise to destroy this copy after the first reading.
Whosoever disregards this does so at his own risk and peril. These are most dire.
Those who discuss the contents of this Book are to be shunned by all, as centres of pestilence.
All questions of the Law are to be decided only by appeal to my writings, each for himself.
There is no law beyond Do what thou wilt.
Love is the law, love under will.

I should also mention that the Book of the Law comes with a warning to those who read it. Somewhere in there it says that it should be destroyed after first reading. It is not part of the dictation but more like an appendix. No doubt, that it is Crowleys' way of making the book more powerful.
If you possess the little red version of the book which also includes the original hand-written dictations, I suggest that you keep it in a very safe and sure place. It does have some strange powers .
Don't lend it out or give it away.
... are the contents so dark and powerful that they can only be read one time without loss of mind or soul?
