''The Book of Pleasure (Self-Love): Psychology of Ecstasy'' is a book written by Austin Osman Spare during 1909–1913 and self-published in 1913. The book could be regarded the central text among his writings. It covers both mystical and magical aspects of Spare's ideas;〔See here for more information.〕 as the modern ideas on sigils (as now have become popular in chaos magic) and Spare's special theory on incarnation are for the first time introduced in this book. There are some chapters in ''The Book of Pleasure'' that Spare has referred to within the text, but are omitted. It seems that they were destroyed during World War II.〔Grant, Kenneth, ''Outer Gateways''〕 The book had originally been planned as a ''mutus liber'' of illustrations only – "the Wisdom without words",〔Semple, W. Gavin, ZOS-KIA, 1995, Fulgur Limited, page 8〕 but was expanded later. The book has been reissued several times: # Quebec: 93 Publishing, 1975. # Northampton: Sut Anubis, 1987 (facsimile). ==Footnotes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Book of Pleasure」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
