Konx Om Pax: Essays In Light (English Edition)

Konx Om Pax: Essays in Light is a publication by British occultist Aleister Crowley, first published in 1907. The name Konx Om Pax is a phrase said to have been pronounced in the Eleusinian Mysteries to bid initiates to depart after having completed the tests for admission to the degree of epopt (seer).This phrase, written in Greek as Κόγξ ὀμ πὰξ (in the original 1514 publication of Hesychius' Lexicon, it is two words, separated by a comma, Κὸγξ, ὂμπαξ [1]) , is not immediately intelligible in that language, and a number of theories have been advanced as to its origin and meaning.S. L. MacGregor Mathers[2] claimed it to have been derived from Khabs Am Pekht, which in the Egyptian language means roughly "Light in extension" or "Light rushing out in a single ray", which is used in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn's Vernal and Autumnal Equinox ceremonies.Dudley Wright[3] also claimed the phrase to be of Egyptian origin, but with the meaning "Watch, and do no evil".Captain Francis Wilford[4] claimed the phrase came from Canscha Om Pacsha, in Sanskrit.Augustus le Plongeon[5] proposed that the phrase derived from the Mayan language, as Con-ex Omon Panex, meaning "Go, strangers; scatter!".The front cover image, portraying the title Konx Om Pax in stretched letters, is said to have been designed by Crowley while smoking hashish.
