	Crowley became aware of the book entitled ''The Sacred Magic of Abramelin the Mage'' from [[George Cecil Jones]], a member of the Golden Dawn.

The book describes the full procedure for “Knowledge and Conversation” and gave him the term "Holy Guardian Angel." Crowley sums up the book in ''The Equinox of the Gods:''

	:''The aspirant must have a house secure from observation and interference. In this house there must be an oratory with a window to the East, and a door to the North opening upon a terrace, at the end of which must be a lodge. He must have a Robe, Crown, Wand, Altar, Incense, Anointing Oil, and a Silver Lamen. The terrace and lodge must be strewn with fine sand. He withdraws himself gradually from human intercourse to devote himself more and more to prayer for the space of four months. He must then occupy two months in almost continuous prayer, speaking as little as possible to anybody. At the end of this period he invokes a being described as the Holy Guardian Angel, who appears to him (or to a child employed by him), and who will write in dew upon the Lamen, which is placed upon the Altar. The Oratory is filled with Divine Perfume not of the aspirant's kindling.''		:''The aspirant must have a house secure from observation and interference.

	This book clearly had a powerful impact on Crowley, who adopted its general terms and concepts, and applied it to his own system developed in the [[A.'.A.'.]] Moreover, he actually attempted the full procedure as ~~descibed~~ in the book, which resulted in the purchase of [[Boleskine House]] and his [[Abramelin Operation]].
