The Equinox (subtitle: The Review of Scientic Illu-
minism) is a series of publications in book form that
serves as the ocial organ of the AA, a magical or-
der founded by Aleister Crowley (although material is of-
ten of import to its sister organization, Ordo Templi Ori-
entis). Begun in 1909, it mainly features articles about
occultism and magick, while several issues also contain
poetry, ction, plays, artwork, and biographies. The last
issue was published in 1998.
