Alexander
Edward (Aleister) Crowley was born on the 12th of October 1875 in Leamington Spa,
England, into a family of Plymouth Brethren, a strict Christian
sect. During his 72 years on this Earth, he managed to indelibly
imprint himself on the Western Magickal Tradition - to many he
was the Western Magickal Tradition.
Crowley's ideas and imagery have influenced bands from every
generation. The most obvious are
Black Sabbath, Led
Zeppelin,
King Crimson, Toyah,
Throbbing
Gristle,
Killing Joke and Sex
Gang Children.
Poet. Author. Magickian. Yogi. Philosopher. Crowley's output was
prolific and his life hedonistic. His legacy still attracts many
new converts and he commands considerable loyalty even from
beyond the grave. |
