A secret society founded by Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) comprised of three orders: the Silver Star, the Rosy Cross, and the Golden Dawn. This society is also described as the Great White Brotherhood, although that is a term more properly ap- plied by Theosophists. The initials AA indicate Argenteum Astrum, and the triangle of dots signify a secret society connect- ed with ancient mysteries.
Aleister Crowley（1875-1947）创建的一个秘密组织，由三个组织组成：银星、玫瑰十字架和金色黎明。这个社会也被描述为伟大的白人兄弟会，尽管这是一个更适合神智主义者使用的术语。首字母 表示阿斯特伦银，点的三角形表示与古代神秘联系在一起的秘密社会。

During his period in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn (GD), Crowley believed that he had reached the exalted stage of the Silver Star and was thus a Secret Chief of the Gol- den Dawn. After 1906 Crowley launched his own order of the Silver Star, or A using rituals and teachings taken from the Golden Dawn.
在他担任黄金黎明密教期间，克劳利认为他已经达到了银星的崇高阶段，因此是戈尔登黎明的秘密首领。1906年后，克劳利推出了自己的银星勋章，和使用金色黎明的仪式和教诲。

In March 1909 he began publishing the magazine the Equi- nox, as the official organ of the , including rituals of the Outer Order of the Society in the second number. This alarmed members of the Golden Dawn, who wished their ritu- als to remain secret, and S. L. MacGregor Mathers, one of the Golden Dawn chiefs, took legal action to restrain Crowley from continuing to publish the rituals. Although a temporary injunc- tion was granted, Mathers did not have funds to contest an ap- peal setting this aside, and Crowley continued to publish his own version of GD secret rituals.
1909年3月，他开始出版《Equinox》杂志，作为美国的官方机构第二个数字包括社会外部秩序的仪式。这让希望自己的仪式保密的金色黎明的成员感到震惊，金色黎明的首领之一S.L.MacGregor Mathers采取法律行动，阻止克劳利继续公布仪式。尽管允许了一次临时的注射，但马瑟斯并没有资金对一项ap-peal提出质疑，将其搁置一边，克劳利继续出版他自己版本的GD秘密仪式。

In addition to the publicity from this legal action, Crowley also gained additional notice through public performance of ‘‘the Rites of Eleusis’’ at Caxton Hall, University of London, in 1910. This ceremony comprised seven invocations of the gods, with dancing by Crowley’s disciple Victor Neuburg, violin play- ing by Leila Waddel (named by Crowley as his ‘‘Scarlet Woman’’), and recital of Crowley’s poems. The performances were impressive, if bewildering to ordinary members of the public, who were charged a fee of five guineas a head. Not sur- prisingly, in the prudish atmosphere of the time, there were sharp criticisms of such a daring presentation.
除了这一法律行动的宣传外，克劳利还于1910年在伦敦大学卡克斯顿厅公开演出了《Eleusis的仪式》，获得了更多的关注。这个仪式包括七次神的祈祷，由克劳利的弟子维克多·诺伊伯格跳舞，由莱拉·瓦德尔（被克劳利称为他的“猩红女人”）拉小提琴，并朗诵克劳利的诗。这些表演给人留下了深刻的印象，但也让普通公众感到困惑，因为他们被收取每人五基尼的费用。然而，在当时拘谨的气氛中，人们对这种大胆的演讲提出了尖锐的批评。

A hostile review of the Rites appeared in the journal the Looking Glass, mocking the lyrics as ‘‘gibberish.’’ In a further issue, the Looking Glass published sensational allegations about Crowley and his associates Allan Bennett and George Cecil Jones. In response, Jones sued the journal in 1911, and Crow- ley obtained considerable publicity through the court hearing. Although Crowley must have reveled in such public attention, he lost several friends through it, in particular his disciple J. F.
《镜报》（the Looking Glass）杂志刊登了一篇对仪式的恶意评论，嘲笑歌词“胡言乱语”在另一期中，《镜报》发表了关于克劳利及其同伙艾伦·贝内特和乔治·塞西尔·琼斯的耸人听闻的指控。作为回应，琼斯在1911年起诉了《华尔街日报》，克劳利通过法庭听证会获得了相当大的知名度。虽然克劳利一定很喜欢公众的关注，但他也因此失去了几个朋友，尤其是他的弟子J.F。

Meanwhile, Crowley had joined another secret order, the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO), which strongly emphasized the power of sex magic. After Crowley departed to the United States toward the end of 1914, the AA ceased working as a group in London.
与此同时，克劳利加入了另一个秘密组织，圣殿骑士团（OTO），该组织强烈强调性魔法的力量。克劳利于1914年底离开美国后 停止了在伦敦的集体工作。
