Who Was Aleister Crowley, Really?

Aleister Crowley is one of the most misunderstood individuals of his time.  His philosophy challenged orthodoxy for the sake of Love and True Will.  To this day, his message continues to be warped to by those it challenges.  In researching Crowley and reading some of books, I have found his message to be one of truth and light.  I strongly encourage the open minded exploration of Crowley's works.  Here is a small sampling of quotes to get you started!




Crowley Top 10 Quotes:
