Meet The 'Wickedest Man In The World' Who Horrified 20th-Century Britain
There is perhaps no man ever to have lived who has scratched the surface of nearly every facet of society like Aleister Crowley.
He was an occultist, ceremonial magician, drug fiend, sex addict, mountaineer, poet, and a “traitor to the British people.” He drew crowds of followers and hoards of critics. He was branded as evil and egotistical, a raging genius, and a messiah of anti-Christianity.
He was all of those things and more.
The tabloids called him the “Wickedest Man In The World,” and a “Master Of Darkness.” But how do you begin to describe a man who was banned from Mussolini’s Italy for acts of extreme depravity, and who also rubbed elbows with the most respected writers of the 20th century while penning textbooks on tantric sex magic? Let’s take a closer look.
