Aleister Crowley's At the Fork of the Roads was originally published in the first issue of The Equinox: The Review of Scientific Illuminism in 1909. The short story is more of a descriptive tone poem than a straightforward narrative, and is considered to be a spell for meditation rather than a story for entertainment.
The story is a warning about the dangers of being too confident in one's abilities, and how it might require desperate measures to triumph over. It is also considered to be a thinly-veiled accusation against Crowley's fellow poet William Butler Yeats.
