Written as a set of epistles to his 'Magickal Son,' Charles Stansfeld Jones (Frater Achad), Liber Aleph consists of 208 short parables on the philosophy of Thelema. In part, the concept of the book is based on a passage from Liber AL vel Legis, and offers a more in-depth probing of the secrets of the new Aeon of Horus.
AL:I.54 "Change not as much as the style of a letter; for behold! thou, o prophet, shalt not behold all these mysteries hidden therein."
AL:I.55 "The child of thy bowels, he shall behold them."
AL:I.56 "Expect him not from the East, nor from the West; for from no expected house cometh that child. Aum! All words are sacred and all prophets true; save only that they understand a little; solve the first half of the equation, leave the second unattacked. But thou hast all in the clear light, and some, though not all, in the dark."
Crowley thought this was a reference to a child he was to bear with his wife Rose Kelly, though after the death of their first-born (who had turned out to be a daughter) Crowley took the passage in its metaphorical sense of a young student who would inherit his teachings. Up to 1919, Crowley believed that Frater Achad was this Magical Child. Aleph spelled in full in Hebrew is equal to 111 on the path of the Fool Atu; sets up the synchronicity between the Wise Man and the Fool; two potent archetypes. Thus the first parable is found in the title itself. But also there is the transmission of lineal descent and the means by which these mysteries are to be continued from generation to generation.
