Rumours and accusations abound saying Crowley was a paedophile, with a tendency towards young<br />

males as opposed to young girls, and even had incestuous relations with his own children. Though I must<br />

admit I haven‘t found evidence of this, other than accusations by people who can‘t actually prove it, -<br />

though again it must also be said, how can you? As what I‘ve realised whilst researching this Crowley<br />

business, - that it‘s exactly that, - a business and a big one at that, - as there seems to be many sons of<br />

Aleister Crowley, or they either knew him, was a gay lover, was sexually abused by him, or bore his<br />

children, whilst some people are going as far to actually say they were, or are reincarnations of him, -<br />

whilst meanwhile, many a book has and still is being sold in the process, and on the back of his infamy.<br />

Though nothing surprises me the depths of depravity certain people would go to whilst under the influence<br />

of drink and drugs, and then dabbling with the occult, and what I now know about what many people do<br />

actually get up to whilst practicing the occult, then it‘s only fair to say, anything can and does happen in<br />

these circumstances.<br />

It‘s been said Crowley was the inspiration for many an author such as W. Somerset Maugham, who<br />

dedicated a novel called; The Magician to him, because of his chilling figure of excessive indulgence and<br />

religious mockery, and not doubt because of the kind of garb he‘d wear, - silk hooded gowns and wizard<br />

style hats etc. His unconventional behaviour, attitudes and remarks is what seems to have earned him the<br />

title; enfant terrible - of the Edwardian avant-garde of London and Paris, - he was even branded in the<br />

press as: the Wickedest Man in the World, who sounds like he would have been right at home among those<br />

Eton-ion or Yale boys of the Bullingdon and Skull & Bones clubs. During WWI, he gradually moved<br />

around various arty-farty cultural exiled communities in New York, then among those termed the Lost<br />

Generation in Paris during the 1920‘s, and onto the decadent quarters of Berlin in Christopher Isherwood‘s<br />

Mr. Norris of the 1930‘s. It was said about Isherwood: There he fully indulged his taste for pretty youths.<br />

He went to Berlin in search of boys and found one called Heinz, - who no doubt came in 57 other varieties<br />

-, who became his first great love. It seems to be that whoever crossed paths with Crowley, turned out to<br />

be a memorable event, as already said, he quite often crops-up in many works of literature, or is mentioned<br />

in peoples memoirs, and in some cases record sleeve covers. He became the basis for the fictional<br />

character and villain in fellow Freemason Ian Fleming‘s Casino Royale.<br />

Though Crowley without doubt is best known today for being the author of many influential textbooks<br />

on the subject occultism, he is also acknowledged as being the first Englishman to establish a religion<br />

known as Thelema, which he founded in 1904, and who is regarded as its prophet. Those who follow the<br />

path of Thelema are called Thelemites. Its foundations are based on ancient Egyptian religious practices<br />

and beliefs, - and is today a recognised faith around the world, and predominately practiced by many other<br />

Freemason‘s. Students practice Crowley‘s religious philosophy of Thelema [the Greek word for will.], in<br />

which Crowley summarised as: ―Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law‖, and ―Love is the law,<br />

love under will‖, both quotations are from his; The Book of the Law. [2] This book is the founding text of<br />

his religion of Thelema, and was allegedly dictated to Crowley in Egypt on the 8th, 9th and 10th of April<br />

1904, when Crowley said he received a communication from a praetor-human [spiritual source]<br />

intelligence calling itself Aiwass or Aiwaz, pronounced; eye-was, as in; ―eye-was walking down the road<br />

one day!‖- I‘m only joking, and hope you can forgive my triviality at times, as some of the subjects I‘m<br />

covering, can be so out-there, and out of the realms of my normal thinking, I feel the need to pinch myself<br />

to help remind where I really am, - and perhaps more importantly where I really come from, i.e., an<br />

ordinary bloke, not normally into such deep subject matter. - Though I think it‘s important for those who<br />

know nothing about Crowley and the occult in general, to know so, as it may help you understand perhaps<br />

why the occult is more widespread than you perhaps you might have thought it was.<br />

Aiwaz said to Crowley that they were the minister of the Egyptian god Hoor-pa-Kraat, an aspect of the<br />

Egyptian Sun God Horus. Aiwaz revealed that Crowley was to be the prophet of a new aeon or era for<br />

mankind: the Aeon of Horus. Aiwaz proceeded to dictate to Crowley three chapters of a book later to be<br />

called The Book of the Law. - The book discloses the pattern of a coming age, a 2,000 year reign: A time<br />

of great force, fire and blood. A period of unparalleled freedoms and rampant chaos, - a time not unlike<br />

our present age! Ra-Hoor-Khuit or Ra-Hoor-Khut [3] is the speaker in the third chapter and states; - ―Now<br />

let it be first understood that I am a god of ‗War and of Vengeance‘. - I am the warrior Lord of the Forties:<br />

the Eighties cower before me, & are abased. I will bring you to victory & joy: I will be at your arms in<br />

battle & ye shall delight to slay. Success is your proof; courage is your armour; go on, go on, in my<br />

strength; & ye shall turn not back for any! - Fear not at all; fear neither men nor fates, nor gods, nor<br />

anything. - Money fear not, nor laughter of the folk folly, nor any other power in heaven or upon the earth<br />

or under the earth. Nu is your refuge as Hadit your light; and I am the strength, force, vigour, of your
