Summary: Truth for the pornographer, satanist, and the cannibal junky
Comment: The greatest Magus (magician) of the 20th century, and he declared himself the Beast whose number is six-hundred and sixty-six. Although todayfs gformal societyh does not consider any significance in him and we cannot find the name gAleister Crowleyh in the gDictionary of National Geographyh; he is known to acquire the greatest influence on the modern Western occultism, through the attainment of his original system which he called the gScientific Illuminationh, indicating eMagickf that could be redefined as gthe aim of Religion, the method of Scienceh.

Summary: Crowley the man
Comment: A fascinating look at one of the most enigmatic and interesting characters of the last century. Aleister, an occultist, details his life growing up and makes note of all his accomplishments and his intelligence, although yes he may be bragging at least it expels the idea some people have liked to spread about him being a brainless raver all of his life, also the articulated way he writes displays his intelligence. He was at a loss in the book to explain as to why he went on Satans side when all of his young life he was raised in a strict Calvinist home, it may of been of the fact that his mother and most of the ppl on her side of the family were "bigots of the most narrow minded an illogical human type" (his words). Encouraged to write this book two years before his death, he pulled on all of what he could remember and made a facinating read.
As for what the previous reviewer states (a reviewer from Connecticut) that it does not containt any spells or incantations, it is a AUTOBIOGRAPHY not an occult magick book, dimbulb.

Summary: Hello? When does it get interesting?
Comment: Maybe I am being unfair, but come on! I bought this hoping to glean some magical, mysterious knowledge from it, but to my surprise, there isn't any! This book is nothing but Crowley patting himself on the back. For the first hundred pages all he does is talk about what a great mountain climber he is, that he is the best and how everyone is jealous. I struggled to keep with it. There are MAYBE two and half entire pages dealing with astrology and again all he does is brag about how he can tell a person's ascendant just by looking at the person. He doesn't tell the reader how to do it, or go into any depthon the subject. I expected so much more from Crowley relating to Magic and esoteric subjects and it just isn't there!
