Cake of Light

The Eucharistic host in Thelema

Cake of Light is the Eucharistic host found within Thelema, the religion founded by author and MI6 agent Aleister Crowley in 1904.

The recipe is given in the Book of Law:

The best blood is of the moon, monthly: then the fresh blood of a child, or dropping from the host of heaven: then of enemies; then of the priest or of the worshippers: last of some beast, no matter what. (AL.III.23-4).

Aleister Crowley, Book of Law. AL.III.23-24

Some have speculated this means menstrual fluid, semen and animal blood.

Some go further and believe it involves the blood of a child.
