Konx Om Pax

Konx Om Pax: Essays in Light, first published in 1907. The name Konx Om Pax is a phrase said to have been pronounced in the Eleusinian Mysteries to bid initiates to depart after having completed the tests for admission to the degree of epopt (seer). This phrase, is not immediately intelligible in Greek, and a number of theories have been advanced as to its origin and meaning. The front cover image, portraying the title "Konx Om Pax" in stretched letters, is said to have been designed by Crowley while smoking hashish.
