I think he was in that 100 Greatest Britons poll a few years ago which is interesting.
Don't know enough about him to comment but he seems to have been an extremely bizarre person.
Went near his house in Scotland once but unfortunately it burned down ten years ago.

Jimmy page lived there at one point as well
all gay larpy shit that doesn’t exist tbh
yes he was a big fan of crowley and occultism, i heard he tried to perform the abramelin ritual in that houseJimmy page lived there at one point as well
I looked it up out of curiosity. It said something about meeting your guardian angel?
I wonder why he would perform that
Yeah I went near it in summer 1992Jimmy page lived there at one point as well
I think Page sold it around then
Based
Huge weirdo
that's pretty cool
Never heard of him
Some people blamed Page's interest in Crowley for the misfortune that befell Led Zeppelin in the late 70s but I think it was karma for the awful way they treated people.

Quite old thread. Let me chime in and give my two cents. Or should I say, 93 cents.
Aleister Crowley is a huge influence to me. He lived by his words as best he could and sacrificed a lot in his troubled life to elevate the understanding and practice of magic—the power of manifestation through intent that he used to call "magick".
He is perceived by some as the prophet of a new era in which humans are no longer pedestalizing the feminine, such as the worship of Mother Nature by ancient Pagans, nor the masculine, such as the patriarchal religions that originated in the Middle East, namely Christianity, Islam, and Judaism. In the New Aeon, both sides have a place. Spirituality has to come from various places. So doctrines and dogmas are not the most important part in Thelema, Crowley's spiritual philosophy and religion.
Then what is the most important part in Thelema? Our cosmic purpose, our path in life, a concept that we Thelemites know as True Will. Not to be mistaken for extreme liberalism, the "everything is permitted" kind of thing. True Will is more powerful than a whim, a mere desire. True Will is supported by love.
The point of Thelema is that we remove social restraints and religious barriers to become more authentic, then practice magick to be in constant tune with our True Will and thus closer to the divine source from which humans emanated. This does not liberate us from responsibility or suffering, but it helps us to understand our place in this vast universe and navigate it.
I am extremely thankful for Crowley and his work, although his personal life was not a model to be reproduced. He was a flawed man with an incredible vocation for religious pursuits. That is how I think of him.
Do what thou wilt.
