It looks interesting. I've always meant to read more into what he got up to but never had a chance to look for any texts.

Hey thanks, I don't know how I could've missed it when I searched for it. Expensive as hell plus the delivery costs to Sweden though, but I think it's worth it.
if you haven't read Diary of a Drug Fiend you should do so, it's an amazing book. Some of his books are too spaced out though, he was too high when he wrote them. (I hope there's no thelemites here)

I heard a story about Crowley that once he was guiding a group of people on a mountain expedition and then he abandoned them up the mountain to die. Which he thought was so cool and satanic.
If that is true then the guy was obviously just a nut case. And he was gay, perverted and total scum.
Which is surely a complement to a character like that.

You know, he was only a satanist for a brief period, and apparently this story isnt true about the mountaineering. He is a fascinating character, who I'd like to read a biography of. A true libertine.
Norsemaiden said:
He was bisexual and explored humanity as a scientist. I understand what you mean when you say that he was a perverted nut case, but as for me, he is one of the greatest scientist ever to have lived.
He had a complete different sight than any other scientist as he was this ruthless, and that is what makes him so interesting.
You speak as if he was a teenage rebel who wanted to be satanist, that's not true and I suppose you haven't read any of his books.

Discover the true meaning of that sentence.

That sentence pretty much sums up LeVay satanism. He was obviously no fool, but I agree that he was likely psychotic.

That was my point... You say he was not a "satanist" but his life was inspirational to one of satanism's founders.

I know a guy that believes Aleister's essense/spirit/ghost whatever is in his body but he doesn't ever brag about it or feel at all superior to any other people because it really just kinda freaks him out
