Aleister Crowley, born Edward Alexander Crowley (12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947) was an occultist, prolific writer, mystic, hedonist, and sexual revolutionary.
Other interests and accomplishments were wide-ranging—he was a chess master, mountain climber, poet, painter, astrologer, drug experimenter, and social critic. He is perhaps best known today for his occult writings, especially The Book of the Law, the central sacred text of Thelema. Crowley was also an influential member in several occult organizations, including the Golden Dawn, the A.'.A.'., and Ordo Templi Orientis.
He gained much notoriety during his lifetime, and was famously dubbed "The Wickedest Man In the World

Books by and about Crowley are available in abundance from any bookshop. He once complained to the town elders in his area about the activity of prostitutes. The town elders investigated and reported to him that they could find no evidence of prostitutes anywhere in the parish, to which Crowley replied "You idiots, thats what I'm complaining about !"
