Publisher's Synopsis
Aleister Crowley is famous, or infamous, as a poet, magician, mountaineer, polemicist, and pornographer. His popular image has a basis in fact - but there were other, less obnoxious aspects of his character.;His greatest legacy is his eclectic occult system - his "magick" persists, a potent synthesis of Golden Dawn magic, oriental esoteric techniques, sexual magic and the all-encompassing "Law of Thelema" with its two fundamental principles. This book looks at the complex and enigmatic figure of Aleister Crowley and provides a portrait of the self-styled "Great Beast".
