Aleister Crowley

he was smart. but like all people in the magickal world who are to smart the go crazy.

great man, complete genius and slightly mad ;). I've read and study most his works, some i get on with some i don't. And to quote him " do what thou wilt. Shall be the whole of the law" is something, which in a way, i live by.

Allegra!

I didn't read much from him, but from what I did read I didn't really learn anything except that he seemed like the kind of guy who put his all into everything he did. In other words, when he set a goal he did not hold himself back from reaching it as some people tend to do and he wasn't the type to give up easily. I could be wrong about that, but that's what I would guess about him based on what I read about him.

The translations he used for his work were often wrong, many of his recipes are not only incorrect they are dangerous.

The measure of an occultist is in the quality of their life. Crowley was a miserable misogynist who managed to offend much more highly respected Elders of his era, including a Witch Queen whom he had hoped to study with.

All in all, not someone to emulate.

Can someone give me a link to a good Aleister Crowly website? I'm interested in him.

You can always rent the movie about Aliester Crowley. Go to blockbuster and ask them the name of the movie.

Wth you on about? =] ?
"*shaking head* Maybe we should make him ruler of the new world order. He's the only type that the leaders would respect: sk fk. "

All I really know about him is that he was a genius, but a crazy one.

What one calls crazy, another can call a mentor.

I think that he did have his flaws but, he did help seekers by publishing his works, and making this information available to everyone.
