================================
Aleister Crowley
He was born Edward Alexander Crowley in 1875 to a wealthy family in Warwickshire, England. Crowley rejected his parent's fundamentalist faith to pursue an interest in Western esotericism. He studied at the University of Cambridge. While there he changed his name to Aleister. He was a lyric and dramatic poet, with several dozen books to his credit, including a collaboration with Auguste Rodin.
He was to make a name for himself as a poet, novelist, journalist, mountaineer, explorer, chess player, graphic designer, drug experimenter, prankster, bisexual, yogi, magician, prophet, early freedom fighter, human rights activist, philosopher, and artist.
Crowley is probably best known today as the author of the twentieth century’s most influential textbooks on occultism, and as the first Englishman to found a religion—Thelema—which is today a recognized faith around the world.
Aleister Crowley drew crowds of followers and hoards of critics. He was branded as evil and egotistical, a raging genius, and a messiah of anti-Christianity.
Crowley had his first significant mystical experience while on holiday in Stockholm in December 1896. Several biographers believed that this was the result of Crowley's first same-sex sexual experience, which enabled him to recognize his bisexuality. At Cambridge, Crowley maintained a vigorous sex life with women—largely with female prostitutes, but eventually, he took part in same-sex activities, despite their illegality.
In October 1897, Crowley met Herbert Charles Pollitt, president of the Cambridge University Footlights Dramatic Club, and the two entered into a relationship. They broke apart because Pollitt did not share Crowley's increasing interest in Western esotericism, a break-up that Crowley would regret for many years.
In 1898 Crowley privately published 100 copies of his poem Aceldama: A Place to Bury Strangers In, but it was not a particular success. That same year he published a string of other poems, including White Stains, a Decadent collection of erotic poetry that was printed abroad lest its publication be prohibited by the British authorities.
Some biographers allege that here he was recruited into a British intelligence agency, further suggesting that he remained a spy throughout his life.
In July 1898, he left Cambridge, not having taken any degree. He was trained in ceremonial magic. Moving to Boleskine House by Loch Ness in Scotland. He then went mountaineering in Mexico, before studying Hindu and Buddhist practices in India. He married Rose Edith Kelly and in 1904 they honeymooned in Cairo, Egypt.
At first, the marriage was one “of convenience,” as Rose had been set to enter an arranged marriage. However, before long, the two fell in love for real. Crowley even set aside his profane, dark writings, and penned his wife several love poems.
Despite their initial arrangement, Rose and Aleister Crowley could not be a more perfect pair. Rose accompanied Crowley on his journeys and went along with his schemes, and indeed it was through her that Crowley found the inspiration to begin his own religion.While Rose was apparently meditating, she informed him in a state of deliriousness that the god Horus was waiting for him. Later, through his own meditation, he heard the voice of Aiwass, Horus’ personal messenger. Using the words of the messenger and Horus himself, Crowley transcribed The Book of the Law, the book that would become the basis of his new religion, Thelema.
Announcing the start of the Æon of Horus, The Book declared that its followers should "Do what thou wilt" and seek to align themselves with their True Will through the practice of magick.
While Crowley was consumed by the words of Horus and his desire to feed the masses occult information, his wife was descending into her own darkness. What had started as a libation every now and then, had turned into full-blown alcoholism.
Though typhoid was deemed the culprit, Crowley blamed the death of their first daughter, Lilith, on Rose’s inability to remain sober. Aleister and Rose had another daughter, Lola, who was entrusted solely to Rose’s care upon the two’s divorce. Eventually, Rose was institutionalized in 1911.
After an unsuccessful visit to India and China, Crowley returned to Britain, where he attracted attention as a prolific author of poetry, novels, and occult literature. In 1907, he and George Cecil Jones co-founded an esoteric order, the A∴A∴, through which they taught Thelema. In 1912 he was initiated into another esoteric order, the German-based Ordo Templi Orientis (O.T.O.), rising to become the leader of its British branch, which he reformulated in accordance with his Thelemite beliefs.
Through the O.T.O., Thelemite groups were established in Britain, Australia, and North America. Crowley spent the First World War in the United States, where he took up painting and campaigned for the German war effort against Britain, later revealing that he had infiltrated the pro-German movement to assist the British intelligence services.
Crowley set about re-writing O.T.O. rituals; his incorporation of Thelemite elements proved controversial in the group. Fascinated by the O.T.O's emphasis on sex magic, Crowley devised a magical ceremony based on anal sex and incorporated it into the syllabus for those O.T.O. members who had been initiated into the eleventh degree.
It has been suggested that Crowley had traveled to Moscow on the orders of British intelligence to spy on revolutionary elements in the city. In January 1914 Crowley settled into an apartment in Paris.
In 1920 he established the Abbey of Thelema, a religious commune in Sicily where he lived with various followers. His libertine lifestyle led to denunciations in the British press, and he was banished from Italy for acts of extreme depravity by Mussolini himself!
On Dec. 1, 1947, Aleister Crowley died, his body giving out to his chronic bronchitis. The funeral held four days later, dubbed the “Black Mass,” was only attended by a dozen people, despite Crowley’s teachings reaching hundreds of thousands over the years.
Crowley’s image can be found on the cover of the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band album, and his motto “do what thou wilt” is inscribed on Led Zeppelin’s Led Zeppelin III vinyl. David Bowie referenced the man in the lyrics to “Quicksand,” and Ozzy Osbourne paid tribute with a song titled “Mr. Crowley.”
A teacher and a leader? defiantly. A hero depends. A strong character in the history of bisexuals by any understanding.
