Megatherion: The Magickal World of Aleister Crowley - Tapa blanda

Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) has been seen variously as a man of notorious sexual habits, a satanic occultist, and latterly an icon of the 1960s love generation.But Crowley was neither a mere sexual predator nor a vulgar black magician. He was the synthesizer of what he termed 'Magick'. In this cogent and intensely readable account of Crowley's life and occult progress, Francis King examines each of the three main sources of Magick - thus throwing much new light on Crowley himself, and doing much to explain the continuing admiration for his writings.
