This book shows that Arab women writers innovate & utilise Gothic forms to “live with the ghosts” of foremothers. Examining contemporary Arab women’s writing from the 1970s to the present through the lens of feminist theory, it details aesthetic patterns. https://t.co/s5bBC9oww2

“The word of the Law is THELEMA.

Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, and the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.”

— Liber AL vel Legis, 1:40
