Bob talking Crowley...

Aleister Crowley (pronounced /ˈkroʊli/; 12 October 1875 -- 1 December 1947), born Edward Alexander Crowley, and also known as both Frater Perdurabo and The Great Beast, was an influential English occultist, mystic and ceremonial magician, responsible for founding the religious philosophy of Thelema. Through this belief he came to see himself as the prophet who was entrusted with informing humanity that it was entering the new Aeon of Horus in 1904, a time when old ethical and religious systems would be replaced. Widely seen as one of the most influential occultists of all time, he was a member of the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, as well as a co-founder of the A∴A∴ and eventually a leader of Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.). He is known today for his magical writings, especially The Book of the Law, the central sacred text of Thelema, although he also wrote widely on other subjects, including a large amount of fiction and poetry.

Crowley was also a bisexual, recreational drug experimenter and social critic. In many of these roles he "was in revolt against the moral and religious values of his time", espousing a form of libertinism based upon the rule of "Do What Thou Wilt". Because of this, he gained widespread notoriety during his lifetime, and was denounced in the popular press of the day as "the wickedest man in the world." Alongside his esoteric activities, he was an avid chess player, mountaineer, poet and playwright, and it has also been alleged that he was a spy for the British government.

Crowley has remained an influential figure right up till this day, and in 2002, a BBC poll described him as being the seventy-third greatest Briton of all time. References to him can be found in the works of numerous writers, musicians and filmmakers, and he has also been cited as a key influence on many later esoteric groups and individuals, including Kenneth Grant, Gerald Gardner and, to some degree, Austin Osman Spare.

  • DID CROWLEY RAPE & MOLEST YOUNG INTELLIGENT BOYS TO HARNESS CERTAIN ENERGY?

  • @777thefreedomfighter Why...are you looking for tips?

  • @Pyro7502 How original. Spoken like a true gonk who has never read Crowley and just repeats what he's been told by frothing, humourless, mouthpieces for the christian right who watch an Alex Jones video and consider that "research"

    Molester? A little proof would be interesting. Crowley wrote deliberately shocking fiction with the intention of courting controversy and ruffling the feathers of backward brains, which he obviously still does today...thus Crowley wins.

  • @Pyro7502 I asked for proof but as a christian i understand this is an alien concept for you.

    I've read the bible and it's a fine occult book, not to be taken literally...a bit like Crowley's fiction.

  • @Pyro7502 Bisexuality may not be "winning" but as Woody Allen said, It doubles your chances.

  • @AnkHknA No i have not forgotten about these people not at all....what do you think of Crowley was he an evil wicked man? did he really rape and molest children and is his grandson G.W. Bush? i don't want ridicule im just looking to get truth on these claims.

  • @AnkHknA ...Excellent! Very intuitive !

  • @ROCKETSCOTTYG @AnkHknA ...GOOD-JOB Boogy, Great Point ! To take-it one more step, some fine folks don"t even have to leave thier home or neighborhood to find the Most-Wicked.

    oh yeah? are we speaking Self-Reflectively here?

  • @ROCKETSCOTTYG oh yeah? lol.

  • @AnkHknA within*

  • @88jboogy The most wicked? Have you forgotten about Adolf Hitler or even the Ogden polygamist pedophile cult leader Arvin Shreeve?

  • @TheSinful92 indeed!! MANY Jungian concepts can be found also withing Crowley's works & even his many "strange" & "dark" actions. Indeed, "Satan" is merely such a manifestation as you described. That's a good lot of centuries long built up black energy from ignorant Fear-mongering minds...

  • @Pyro7502 lol. the bible is a load truths co-mingled with a load of fraudulence. you See nothing...

  • @nilbud Thank you.
