The Equinox (subtitle: The Review of Scientific Illuminism) was a periodical that served as the official organ of the A∴A∴, a magical order founded by Aleister Crowley (although material is often of import to its sister organization, Ordo Templi Orientis). Begun in 1909, it mainly featured articles about occultism and magick, while several issues also contained poetry, fiction, plays, artwork, and biographies. The last issue was published in 1998. Publication history The Equinox appeared semiannually from the years 1909 through 1913. Volume II was never published, and vol. III:1 was the last in the regular serialized publications. After that, editions of the Equinox were published irregularly by various organizations and are best known by their book titles. All issues after III:5 were edited and released after Crowley's death in 1947. Vol. I, #1: Spring 1909. Simpkin, Marshall, Hamilton, Kent & Co., Ltd. Vol. I, #2: Autumn 1909.
