I have a brief understanding of Crowley's history, but I'm still curious: what is the main reason for all his infamy? Why was he considered so wicked?

Aleister Crowley was an occultist in the truest sense of the word and even formed an order called the order of the golden dawn of which many well known personalities where said to be members. He was also suppose to be the mentor of Jimmy Page from the ground Led Zepplin. Crowley was never considered wicked, however he did experiment with the darker side of the occult and was known to try and use it to exercise control over others.

He practiced Magick and was an evil, evil man. Every year around this time there is a documentary on about people visiting his house. Creepy!!!!

The size of his ego.
And what's considered "wicked" or "evil" by one generation, is just tiresome to the next.

He was just a ceremonial magickian who actually came up with the Wiccan Rede: If it harm none, do what thou will.
