While i was being glib...that's also very much a big part of what Crowley was doing.
@Pikachu I mean sure he like to troll conventional Christian groups because of his upbringing but he was very serious about his own practice and Thelema was no joke. He was no L Ron Hubbard.

If anything alot of his battles with other occult orders were over the fact they were not nearly as obsessive about it as he was.

An interesting character.

I think his mountaineering and other travels more important than his Thelema mysticism, but unfortunately his reputation is very much as the bad boy by salacious reporting of his unconventional life.

Aleister Crowley was the inspiration for the character Hjalmar Poelzig, played by Boris Karloff in '34 The Black Cat.
The guy is an interesting historical figure but I have always been more interested in folk magic versus the more elitist realms of ceremonial magic.

The guy was also a bit too much of an edgelord and troll in today's language for my taste.
