lol, no. But seriously, Crowley was a major contributor to pretty much every occult school of thought and an accomplished man in his own right.

is the best explanation of his philosophy and contributions to the field that I've seen. It's annoying that people misunderstand Thelema so severely. Thelema is not in favor of fucking anything that moves and it is not in favor of chastity, it is in favor of figuring out who the fuck you are on your own and not searching for a dick to suck to gain enlightenment.
The irony is of course Crowley has hordes of dicksuckers who worship his actions without understanding his philosophy and try to find enlightenment by following him, when he specifically said he did not want a flock.

Spy for the SIS who went to countries the British had interest in like Egypt and China.
Used his chicanery to influence a generation of kids into the occult which naturally finds out who is good at lying and manipulating large groups with their personality. This is a good way to discover and recruit potential spies / agents of influence.
Basically aleister crowley was a spy shill and recruiter for intelligence agencies.
It also got kids into "SEX MAGICK" which was just a way to use peoples sexuality against them and exploit their sexual behaviour to keep them loyal to a secret group. See eyes wide shut.

He accomplished more than the rest of us could hope for in a dozen lifetimes. Love him or loathe him, he was a pretty amazing guy.
If nothing else, he was a great writer with a superb command of the language. He also designed a kick-arse tarot deck.

basically this, there's even a book about him being a spy, that be more accurate
nontheless
I'd say he was the worst roleplayer ever, but that's just my stupid/humble opinion
>>17078914
No one who critizes Crowley on /x/ has read two books by him, cover to cover. Just uneducated twats who think acting retarded is trolling.

aleister crowley - in my opinion at least - is like a modern day hermes ( as in the genius trickster silver tongued god of magick archetype ) he is a genius in his field, took to it like a fish to water, gave us promethean fire in the form of secrets of the hermetic of the golden dawn which influence magick to this day as essential material for anyone on the hermetic path.
along the way he has revealed great truths and made grand jokes and pranks on the occult and mundane world, and at times it is hard to tell one from the other.
ive found even this one of the things hes done to educate people on the subject of the occult in general, as an object lesson. he set the bar high for understanding his material by intentionally not writing for beginners while simultaneously keeping it fascinating enough in its presentation and enlightening enough in its insight to encourage you to study further to grasp it. his entire life made him a beacon of influence and cultural shift in the occult community from how he lived it.

all seeing eye, dude. its not just nwo. its the eye of horus or eye of ra or eye of god, on a pyramid ( i cant tell you of the occult meaning of the triangle besides that because of my membership in the ancient mysteries but the pyramind is a factor more for the nwo, illuminati and masons than crowley ) , above the third eye. it is astetment he has awakened and is in touch with his third eye.
A little bit from column A and a little bit from column B.

Magick Without Tears is a fairly accessible introduction. It's a set of letters he wrote to one of his pupils on various occult topics, and is surprisingly comprehensive. Also, the Book of Thoth is a highly readable treatise on the tarot (and the Thoth deck itself is like a visual summary of Crowley's works.)
At some point you'll need to tackle the Book of the Law, which is the definitive work on the Thelema religion/philosophy. However it's completely inaccessible without the commentaries Crowley added later. Make sure you read an annotated version. A good one is "The Law is for All" - very rare in print, but available online.
Finally, Book 4 is Crowley's major work on magic(k), but it's only useful for practitioners. Personally, despite being an avid reader of Crowley, I still don't really believe in magick, so I just read it out of curiosity.
And if you finish all of the above, there's still a huge body of work remaining: poetry, fiction, periodicals, an autobiography, various manuals and instruction pamphlets, most of it freely available online. Like I said in an earlier post, Crowley was a great writer, and is a joy to read whatever the topic.
