I like the man's work, but think he might have been a little insane [bearing in mind genius and insanity are closely related.]

If you are a person who is into being progressively entrapped by a indulgent lifestyle, then I guess Crowley would be intriguing and possibly someone to model life after..it is wise to look at his last years of life though, he ended up destitute, diseased, and totally ravaged by his hedonist lifestyle.
Hence he proved the truth of GOD'S WORD-"as ye sow, that also shall ye reap"

There was a period where Materialism was encouraged as an antidote to Socialism. This is the same reason that Ayn Rand was so heavily promoted.
There is a constant theme of self centered individualism that runs through all of their works. This is the Capitalist ideal. Every body for themselves, screw the unfortunate!
Me into the lifeboats, forget about the women and children, and to hell with everybody else.
You will also notice that the writers of this stuff had crappy lives with few friends.

He was insane, narcissistic, misguided and followed the path of darkness. People that I know say that he was a Satanist.

He died at 92 a homosexual reprobate and heroin addict. He led thousands of people astray and his satanic organisation, the O.T.O., continues his evil work to this day.

He had connections to L. Ron Hubbard which immediately makes me suspicious of him.

He influenced many innocent people and changed them forever. The wages of sin is death.
