📖 Description
‘I never killed Raoul Loveday with a magical spell.’
Aleister Crowley, otherwise known as the Beast 666, shared membership of the Golden Dawn with W.B. Yeats, and publishers with D.H. Lawrence. Now in a beyond-the-grave autobiography, he recounts his own vocation, his practice of sex magic, and his bruising encounters with his contemporaries. The great magus, whose own world-conquering creed, The Book of the Law, was written in Cairo in 1904, was according to him, no murderer, but a prophet and practitioner of all kinds of sexual freedom and new magical systems. ‘I shall continue to protest my innocence as long as I have a hole in my bottom.’
The Wickedest Man in the World? Or Post-Christian Messiah? Read this book and judge for yourself.
Reviews ‘intriquing and sordidly entertaining’ – Gay Times ‘Brilliant . . . the Great Beast explaining himself in lapel-grabbing prose:’ - Simon Callow, Sunday Telegraph ‘Excellent . . . perverse, funny and at times as inexplicably moving as its subject. Recommended’ - Fortean Times ‘Probably the most fun you’ll have with a British novel all year’ – The Edge …thanks to Snoo for a great book. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Made me laugh and cry. Excellent.’ – Sparky
