When you cite a quotation from a Holy Book or other non-book Liber by Crowley, there are a few formats you can use. For some, you can use the common title. Include the chapter and verse if relevant. Here are some examples:

Another primer on citing and referencing your sources

It is important that you cite your sources if you draw from a book, journal, or website. If you write something like "Crowley believed that the sky was yellow", you should tell us where he said that. Also, if you write something that is a statement or belief of a group or person, be sure you attribute that statement or belief to them. This is not necessary for beliefs that are commonly held by Thelemites or considered very common knowledge. It's your call, but be thoughtful about it.

There are two ways to cite sources in the body on an article:

  1. After a quote or paraphrase. Ex. Diana was also worshipped "as a goddess of nature" (Frazer, 1993, p.141).
  2. Before a quote or paraphrase. Ex. Frazer (1993, p.141) writes that Diana was also worshipped "as a goddess of nature."

The exception to this format is when citing Aleister Crowley. On Thelemapedia, the standard is to list the name of the book or text. Examples:

Put under the "References" header, again in a bulleted list, any books, articles, web pages, etcetera that you used in constructing the article and/or recommend as sources of further information to readers.

If a page is taken from another GNU-licensed site, like Wikipedia, it should be referenced as such:

Citing sources provide references that help the reader to check the veracity of the article and to find more information. If you consult an external source while writing an article, citing it is basic intellectual honesty. More than that, you should actively search for authoritative references to cite. If you are writing from your own knowledge, then you should know enough to identify good references that the reader can consult on the subject. The main point is to help the reader—cite whatever you think will be most helpful. This applies when writing about opinions, as well—beware the temptation to write weasel phrases like, "Some people say..." Who said it, and where and when?
