Aleister Crowley's Books Catalog

The collection offered is especially interesting in that it covers Aleister Crowley in all his complexity, not only as influential English occultist and ceremonial magician, responsible for founding the religious philosophy of Thelema. Not only as member in several occult organizations, including the Golden Dawn, the A. A., and Ordo Templi Orientis. But also a prolific writer, who wrote widely on other subjects, including a large amount of fiction and poetry. Crowley was also a hedonist, bisexual, a world traveler, mountaineer, chess master, artist, yogi, social provocateur, drug addict and sexual libertine, social critic. In many of these roles he "was in revolt against the moral and religious values of his time". The press loved to demonize him and dubbed Crowley "The wickedest man in the world." Aleister Crowley was a fascinating man who lived an amazing life.
