'''Aiwass''' is the name given to a voice that the English [[occultist]] and ceremonial magician [[Aleister Crowley]] reported to have heard on April 8, 9, and 10 in 1904. Crowley reported that this voice, which he considered originated with a non-corporeal being, dictated a text known as ''[[The Book of the Law]]'' or ''Liber AL vel Legis'' to him through the channeling of his wife Rose Edith Kelly during their honeymoon in Cairo, Egypt. | '''Aiwass''' is the name given to a voice that the English [[occultist]] and ceremonial magician [[Aleister Crowley]] reported to have heard on April 8, 9, and 10 in 1904.

Regardie noted that in 1906 Crowley wrote: "It has struck me – in connection with reading Blake that Aiwass, etc. "Force and Fire" is the very thing I lack. My "conscience" is really an obstacle and a delusion, being a survival of heredity and education." Regardie argued that because Crowley felt that his Fundamentalist upbringing instilled him in an overly rigid conscience, when he rebelled against [[Christianity]] “he must have yearned for qualities and characteristics diametrically opposed to his own. In ''The Book of the Law'' the wish is fulfilled.” | Regardie noted that in 1906 Crowley wrote: "It has struck me – in connection with reading Blake that Aiwass, etc. "Force and Fire" is the very thing I lack.

Crowley's description of Aiwass has led many [[occultist]]s to believe the being is one of the [[Ascended Masters]]. | |||
