A black and white photograph of a man, identified as Aleister Crowley, performing the role of "The Magician." He is dressed in a dark, floor-length robe featuring a light-colored equal-armed cross on the chest. On his head, he wears a crown or circlet with a central serpent or uraeus original: "uraeus"; a representation of a sacred kingly cobra from Ancient Egypt. He stands behind a table draped in a dark cloth. His right hand holds a long wand that rests upon the top of a large, arched ceremonial plaque known as the Stele original: "Stèle" of Revealing, which is covered in Egyptian-style artwork and hieroglyphs. Arranged on the table are several ritual objects: a glass chalice, a sword with a cross-shaped original: "cruciform" hilt, a small bell, a bound book, and a small vial containing holy oil.
