The Early Life Of Aleister Crowley

Edward Alexander Crowley was born on October 12th, 1875. Primarily, he is known because of his occult writings and teachings. Was the founder of the religion of Thelema, which turned out as the approved religion for the Oro Templis Orientis and the magical order Argenteum Astrum or rather the A:.A:., which is the Order of the Silver Star. Again, he was a profoundly questionable member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. During this time, he was known as Frater Perdurabo, a magical name.

Aleister Crowley was a pathfinder, a trailblazing searcher who unlocked the door of magic to disclose the puzzles that had not been, till his time, even murmured in the confines of a room. Aleister Crowley unlocked the doors and twirled them loose for all members of the occult to hasten through in hunt of their magical fulfillment. Because of this, he has been termed as a genius as well as a slight madman, however, one thing is sure; he has not disappeared into the facade of history. Additionally, it is clear that his persona has never silently died. To the converse, Crowley has kept at the lead of those quoted as offering the most to the dark arts .

During his early age, Aleister Crowley traveled with his father who went across the country preaching and so, he was exposed to the skills and work required to pass a message and doctrine to the people. During those days before the technological improvements, the basic or “face to face” communication was not just the most efficient; it was one of the rare approaches to proclaim the word of any theory. Aleister Crowley was, therefore, drawn think: not good or wicked, but he had a deep-seated desire to seek for extra and this habit was one that helped him well during his lifetime. Ever a scholar, he would proclaim the word of his occult operations during his whole life.

Aleister’s father succumbed to cancer and the event left the tender youth shocked and subsequently resentful. He set his course on an implicit worldview of “anything that does not conform”. Actually, his earliest poetry demonstrates the concept of “anti” while freeing the mind to that which was never spoken or the “unthought”. This does not imply that his heart was full of hatred; that would not be realistic and an informal way to drop his life-long efforts. Aleister was full of something much unique. He was really filled with a burning need to challenge everything (a quality adopted by Satanists even at this time) and a person to only believe on what could be justified. This worked well for him during his life.

Crowley was a virtuoso of coitus and he embraced sexual encounters with both women and men. He normally commented that he “only had sex to fulfil the demands of his magical workings” yet it appears that he also took exceptional pleasure in the many variations to sex scenes that were anything other than just than expected. This is all because of the idea of magic and attaining a higher consciousness of “self”.

Although people continued to have different views about Aleister Crowley and his activities on occult and Satanism, he did not relent at all. As a matter of fact, he kept publishing occult books and engaged in sex with black magic and prostitutes in the years during World War I and even produced his own collection of tarot cards which were hand-painted by a friend who was an OTO initiate. Despite the fact that he had married earlier, he got remarried again to a Nicaraguan lady called Maria Teresa Sanchez, for the sake of immigrating to England. He got an assistant whom he paid in magical teaching instead of actual money, who reprinted his teachings for him and supported him publish his books. To his death that occurred on 1st December 1947, Aleister Crowley was known to be a firm believer and practitioner of occult and magic.
