The Djeridensis Working
The Comment called D by 666
- By Aleister Crowley, c. 1923. Copyright © O.T.O. Crowley himself never published it, but it did appear in "The Magical Link" IX(4)–X(2), 1995/96. Please note that this copy derives from a secondary source, with key entry and editing by Frs. T.S. and V.C. The PDF version can be found here. I myself have added the text from Liber AL for reference. Internal footnotes are by Leah Hirsig, who typed the document from Crowley's written notes. Here is a site providing scans of Leah's original typescript.
- The word "Djeridensis" essentially means "pertaining to Djerid", since -ensis means "pertaining to" (usually a place) and Djérid (lit. "palm")— located in Nefta, Tunisia(on the shore of Chott de Djérid) — was the name of the hotel in which the document was written. Nefta is considered to be the spiritual home of Sufism, and is the religious center of the "Bled el Djerid" ("Land of Palms"), with more than 24 mosques.
