I will first discuss Crowley’s own account of his attainment of communion with his Guardian Angel, which he set out to accomplish in 1900 and finally realised in 1906. Second, I will discuss a few key texts written by Crowley in which the method for attaining the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel is described, with a special focus on <em>Liber Samekh</em> (1920). The first part of this article can thus be seen as the <em>practiced</em> aspect of the Holy Guardian Angel experience, while the second part is the *prescribed* aspect. By way of concluding, I will address the entangled nature of the instructional texts of the Knowledge and Conversation of the Holy Guardian Angel.</p>}, number={3}, journal={Entangled Religions}, author={Bogdan, Henrik}, year={2023}, month={Apr.} }
