A∴A∴

The A∴A∴ (Latin: Argenteum Astrum^[1] or Greek: Άστρον Αργόν,^[2] "Astron Argon", both literally; "Silver star", alternately, Latin: Arcanum Arcanorum,^[3] is a magical order created by Aleister Crowley in 1907 after leaving the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn.^[4] It is a Thelemic magical fraternity in which the holy book of the order is The Book of the Law. Its motto is: "The method of science, the aim of religion."^[5] While the A∴A∴ was not part of Ordo Templi Orientis, the O.T.O. did consider the A∴A∴ to be a close ally.^[6]

Various lineages of the A∴A∴ survive today that can be traced back to the founders Aleister Crowley and George Cecil Jones.
