More from Aleister Crowley
"The greatest pleasure is to be misunderstood."
"There are no gods but man."
"The soul is a microcosm of the universe."
"The universe is the practical joke of the General at the expense of the Particular."
"My mission is to establish the Law of Thelema."
About Aleister Crowley (1875-1947)
English occultist who founded Thelema, wrote The Book of the Law (1904), and was branded 'the wickedest man in the world' by the British press. Closely associated with W.B. Yeats (fellow Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn member who came to despise him). For an intellectual contrast, see G.K. Chesterton, English Christian apologist and Father Brown author — Chesterton and Crowley were Edwardian London contemporaries arguing for opposite metaphysical systems — Chesterton's restored-Christianity rationalism is the precise opposite of Crowley's 'Do what thou wilt' Thelema.
