Of course it is. Why on Earth would the truth be to indulge your desires? Wow. What a profound mystery. What a sage. I thought for sure that Satan actually used these things to deceive us so that we worship the self rather than God, but turns out, no, I just needed a so-called magician to unlock the secrets of the universe: pleasure! Wow. Deep.

Young Crowley has unstable angina and was sickly until he had spent time away from his parents. He lived in the country, chopped wood, became physically strong before he returned to his parents. He still suffered from angina and was prescribed, as he had been before time in the country, it was called laudinum (morphine), it came in tinctures. This was the method used for pain in many, in those days. During travels later on, laudinum wasn't available, so he was prescribed Heroin. Heroin, was a brand name for processed morphine. It was created in Germany by Bayer. He built a tolerance.
Sheesh

No he never
I thought so. A very different perspective than blaming the kids problems entirely on his father’s religion. It’s such biased BS.

While I do like the song, I think the creator of the video is not necessarily talking about with Crowley himself, but songs that reference his actions and impact. Idk tho, cause he might just be uncultured.

wouldn't you know it... truth always prevails... all the great religions of the world focus on family values in some way, shape or form.
truth is you can't beat biology. we are social creatures, that's what we're wired to do. family is the fundamental social unit. a group of families make a community and so on so forth... no amount of drugs can beat the dopamine rush you get when you see your kid walk or talk for the first time...
@@mintoo2cool Indeed, my friend
I learned about him in 2003 from the Rob Zombie movie: House of 1000 Corpses. Towards the end of the movie, the surviving victims of the fire fly family cult were being dragged to their death to be sacrificed to Doctor Satan in a watery grave below. During the ritual, you can hear a sinister, low voice of Alistair saying "Bury me in a nameless grave", Looping on repeat.

@@naew5664
Hahaha deceived.
@@donquixote8462 Decieved? Not by Rob though haha
thank you! i wondered what that was
Yes, Alester Crowley embraced evil. Don't make the mistake of minimizing that. Its a simple equation. Not a good guy.
I kind of appreciate that wholesome twist near the end of Crowley's story. A fangirl actually took care of him and helped him get sober, and Crowley ended up being a good dad. I love that for him
I've read about this guy for 37 years and this was the first person to contradict the death in a boarding house as a feeble perplexed heroin addict. FIRST TIME. I also never heard about a redemption through finding joy in family and getting sober. This account is unique. Again, I have doubts. I have read his Book of The Law, and other of his esoteric writings many many years ago. I encourage anyone to read that stuff and draw their own conclusions. The whole "Do What Thou Wilt" is only part of the mantra. There's "Love under Law", which is clearly the opposite of Christian teaching that love covers many sins, and that Love in it's truest form, rendered payment for mankind's debt to the Creator for breaking the Law. You can't "Do What Thou Wilt" without leaving a negative impact on others. It's selfishness. Is that a high spiritual or moral aspiration?
I've only heard that Crowley was a pedo. I would bet that he ab*sed his little son.
My mother was a Narcissist, and a bis*xual pedo like him, and if she was still alive I'd press charges.
It's rubbish that a twisted, amoral and perverted individual like Crowley would ever be able to bond with or love another person, family or not.
A Narcissist isn't capable of love or bonding. They don't have object constancy, or empathy. Crowley would have been bored stiff at home with "family" and no drugs.
Everyone that practices Crowley's rituals holds that the blood of a little boy is best for their "spirit cooking".
As per Maria Abramovich, Lady Gaga, Hillary Clinton, etc...

@@bubbashursh262 Right? This guy is something else trying to shine a good wholesome light on pure evil. Not cool.
@@susanluffy exactly people are so brainwashed and it’s sad!!
I don't think he actually said LSD. 06:57 "He incorporated psychedelic drugs into his routines..." So that could be anything from peyote to the playing of a Björk album.
The psychedelic properties of LSD were not discovered until 4 years before Crowley's death so that timeline doesn't work.
Timm Shingler: 12:58 , He actually said LSD.
There were no Björk albums before 1947 either.
@@tomservo5007 Yes you are right. Crowley was in Sicily from 1920 to 1923. LSD was discovered in 1943, so other hallucinogens must have been used.
@@stevenanderson2358 Right, but that's not what he said. He's just saying that a psychedelic doesn't always have to be LSD, or even a drug.

You forgot to mention his entry into the OTO by Theodore Ruess in which he eventually became Ruesses successor as outer head and reconstituted it with thelema as it’s central philosophy. He also founded the A.’.A.’. Which was his spiritual school. Not everyone that was involved with Crowley ended up having their lives destroyed. Karl Germer was Crowley’s successor in the OTO and the AA. Grady McMurtry became a student of Crowley’s during World War Two and was Crowley’s successor of the OTO after Germers death in 1962. McMurtry had successfully expanded the OTO in the United States and was the first to mass publish Crowley’s works to make them available to the public. Israel Regardie was also a student of Crowley’s and was a practicing psychologist who published works based on Crowley’s teachings. However, Hubbard was never a student of Crowley’s and never met him. Hubbard was involved with Parsons at the Agape lodge in Pasadena California but it was a short lived relationship. Hubbard took some of the ideas and practices of thelema and twisted them into what would eventually become Scientology.
One of the only people mentioning his understudy, Regardie I've read all of crowleys stuff and most of regardies, Most people say stuff to relate or try to sound cool. Though a sicko he was intelligent.
@@davidvader8723 I accidentally said that Parsons started Scientology. I corrected it lol

Aleister Crowley was in Sicily from 1920 - 1923. LSD was „invented“ in 1943, so Crowley and bis crew did certainly not use LSD in the 1920thies. But other drugs, such as heroine.
Well, opium back then, but essentially yes. Both come from the Poppy. All opioids stem from the Poppy.
That's where the opium dens come in. They were popular back then.
A truly evil, vile man who in a remotely sane society would be imprisoned for life or otherwise forced to work to avoid starving to death. He never actually worked a day in his life. But the modern world is very far from being sane and the power structures adore and promote such freemasonic occultists and intelligence assets. It is likely Crowley was a lifelong British intelligence asset which added to his "untouchable" status. At least Fascist Italy exiled this rootless parasite and his "commune" in the 1920's. It would have been far more appropriate if they imprisoned him for life instead or executed him, at least on grounds of being a British spy.
It was mescaline
He smoked DMT
Thanks mate. Much apprecited. 🙋
So basically Crowley Was a narcissistic who loved his power over people. Knowing L. Ron Hubbard was a follower of his hedonistic teachings is not surprising in the least.
but at the end he realised it was all meaningless and found true happiness with his son
Hedonistic

Patrick Mulholland - protector of everything stupid...
Crowley's followers could not have "stared at frightening images and while taking LSD" at the abbey. The abbey was founded in 1920 and shuttered in 1923. LSD was not synthesized until 1938 and was not discovered to have effects until 1943. By this time the Abbey had been closed for 20 years. Similarly, mushrooms were not known outside circles until scientists for Sandoz Pharmaceuticals went seeking out psychedelic drugs in the 1950. It is doubtful that Crowley would have had access to this drug as it was not purified from the raw material until 1959. Mescaline was the most likely drug used, as accounts from the era describe the copious use of alcohol, morphine, cocaine, and chloroform, as well as the occasional use of peyote/mescaline.
Caught that too
Exactly, my jaw almost dropped when I heard that. How could he take LSD decades before it was discovered?
Sadly, some 'journalists' never allow facts to get in the way of their story. Excellent comment and correction!
Or...most history we believe is fact, is actually false, most everything is inverted truths, and the date LSD was synthesized was in the early 1800s. Or...maybe not *shrug*
Thanks for dropping some real knowledge. Most on here just talk shi* without even thinking.
Best ever! Fascinating! And thanks for limiting the ramblings.
This years Crowley fest is 16th-17th September. There's usually some really good bands on (if you like death metal and goth). Same place, Clarendon Square, Leamington spa. This year's the 10th anniversary so there should be some good acts on and I think the local council have stummped up some cash for a change having realised it brings people to the town. 🤘

You can tell by the lyrics that Ozzy was clueless about the man.
I was referring to the "I wanna know what you meant" line. As well as the "you fooled all the people with magick." That's reserved for the so called elites.
Thank you for the intro. I've came across his name in reading about uh hum books on witchcraft and magic.
Crowley loved to write poems and publish them in his occult encyclopedia The Equinox. One of those poems, and it was actually about his New Aeon, was the line
"As an acid eats into steel, so am I unto the Spirit of man". That should tell you all you need to know.

Until now, I have never researched Aleister Crowley. Your video was the start. Thank you. What a whirlwind of a man he was only to finally level out at his end. I look forward to learning more about him over the next few months and possibly years.
I would do your own research he repeatedly says Crowley was having his people take LSD in the early nineteen-hundreds but LSD wasn't invented till 1938 and the psychedelic properties of LSD weren't even discovered until 1943
@@dnivek12 Not to mention the blatant misrepresentation of the quote, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law." He did not mean do whatever you want.

Thanks for the info on crowley. The onlything i knew from before this was Black Sabbaths song Mr. Crowley.
Crowley wasn't all he claimed to be but he certainly had a great influence on 20th century subculture.
He also had a great sense of humour. While living at Boleskine, he once wrote to the community council in Foyers, the nearest village, complaining of the level of sin and lewd behaviour there. The council duly got back to him, saying they could find no evidence of such. Crowley replied "That's exactly what I mean. It's terrible."
yeah hes so cool i bet he wears a leather jacket and skips class to smoke djarums by the bleachers, he was a basic contrarian dressing his misgivings and failures as providence and wit. Both of which he is absent of. Grandstanding about how people dont want you around is what the greasy wallet chain types do. Hes so basic it's boggling.

Finally a decent (albeit short) video on Aleister Crowley. Although there are a few mistruths promulgated here. 1) Crowley left the Abramelin operation to support MacGregor Mathers in the Golden Dawn schism, not for lack of results from the operation. 2) LSD wasn't in existence when Crowley was at the Abbey of Thelema at Cefalu, most likely it was mescaline, cocaine, or opium that was taken. 3) Leah Hirsig wasn't the person who went to the press, that was Betty May. 4) After 1935 Crowley didn't just become a nobody, some of his greatest works were written even up until his death, such as the book of thoth and his work with Lady Freida Harris from 1939 to 1944, and Magic without tears which was published posthumously. 5) Crowley had various so-called supernatural experiences prior to the events of 1904 in egypt. There is plenty of literature/diary entries to confirm this. 6) The Goetia ritual with Rose was not in a cave, but the King's Chamber of one of the pyramids. It was done to show Rose the Sylphs, but instead she claimed to be in contact with Horus.
But on the whole it is appreciated to finally see a Video that has some semblance of proper research behind it
recommend a good biography of Crowley?
@@jawarholol4651 Perdurabo by Richard Kazcynsky is the most thorough biography to date, as well as the confessions of Aleister Crowley as it is his autobiography. There are others but none compare to Perdurabo in my mind
@SomeHazyCaveman Not really, he explored the symbolism of the idea of satan, but also explored the symbolism of many different gods. Satan is for the most part a christian creation, an aspect of that pantheon. Crowley abhorred what christianity had become and the repressive aspects it subjected people to, so he identified with the adversary in attacking it. Hence the title 'The Great Beast 666'.
As for black magic, he found it repulsive and corrupted, and termed it as any act that wasn't in conformity with one's will. He even took a publisher to court over being named a black magician, though he lost the case as the judge found his sexual exploits to be repugnant, which has nothing to do with whether he was a black magician or not.
The Great Pyramid in Giza
@@DRholmsey What I glean from Crowley is that he was some sort of kabalist. In particular, he seems to have espoused Sabatean Frankism. This also explains why he named his daughter Ataturk. This man had all the hallmarks of satanic doctrine. This video claims that he was a failed secret agent, but I think the opposite is true. Maybe his uncle even had a hand in his induction. He probably remained a secret agent until the day he died. Mission: moral subversion. Probably he was never even explicitly told that that was his mission, yet his mission it was.
He locked the doors and laughed at wizards that struggled to get in! That's calling them out like a boss!
the lack of ozzy meniton at the music part was astonishing
His early life sounds like every other suburban angsty teen in the 1990s.

@@JayMartian it was sarcasm
To clarify, "Do what thou wilt" does NOT mean do whatever you want. Crowley himself has said this, and any true Thelemite will tell you the same. What was actually meant by this was to follow your true will, which is akin to the divine will. The primary goal of Thelema is to attain knowledge and conversation with your Holy Guardian Angel (basically your Higher Self) upon which you discover your true will. However, having said that, Crowley was against the concept of sin.
which is why he's probably being tormented by fire right now.
At Minute 13:00 the speaker is saying that Crowley encouraged his followers to take LSD. This is not possible as the Abbey of Thelema existed from 1920 until 1923, but Albert Hoffmann discovered LSD only in 1943!

So I guess you like someone who sacrificed 1000's of children as well as animals, ate his and others poop during the satanic rituals, performed pedophilia, was a bisexual, was into beastiality. Etc... You need help my friend.

This was very interesting and excellently delivered.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Ozzy Osbourne's "Mr. Crowley." It's why I clicked...
See, this is what happens when the parents are overzealous and downright insanely wrong; you get children that do the radical opposite.
His parents werent the problem.
That’s why you need to be a moderate
Pft yeah of course 👍
@@kaka7654 yes they were! Still happens today. You suppress and take away someone’s childhood and make them feel like an outcast, this is the result. Tale as old as time. You rebel and go hard the opposite way. It’s happening right now as I type this. We all knew kids who’s parents deprived them of what other normal children had and did. They always end up weird or angry. Can’t blame someone who was raised by religious nut jobs. We are a communal species. When you don’t fit in, you lash out. It’s natural. Would be more weird if he bought in completely and continued on his parents ideals

Albert Hofmann at Sandoz Pharmaceutical Laboratories in Switzerland first synthesized lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and personally experienced its effects (later described as a voyage into madness or a chemically induced psychosis) in 1943.
Crowley, the Victorian age punk rockstar.
The parents really paved the way for him being that kind of man that he is. If they could’ve just let him live a normal life as a child, running around and playing, and enjoying a given amount of freedom to himself, then he would have not been easily drawn into the wickedness of the world as he clearly had experienced it once or twice in his life as a young teenager.
"the kind of man that he *was "
the story just sounds too good to be true cause it favors this satanic new age movement in so many ways... first of all it degrades christianity, second of all it promotes emancipation and therefore a false sense of freedom, third of all this story will lead many people to the conclusion of planed parenthood, that it's fair if the government takes your children away at early ages, and they'll come out with all those stories how governments are saving children from christian parents cause they are considered as cruel or evil while they had in mind to protect their children... cause that is what you do when you are a parent and you truly care for your children... this whole world is satanic... just letting your kids get accustomed with this world will lead them into this fairytale dream, this matrix and they will have a hard time waking up to the truth once they are already involved with it... there is something called desensitizing... when you partake in certain things of this world you will be desensitized and probably even promote it as harmless, like alcohol or cigarettes or porn etc... it is basically weakening your senses to the evil in this world... imagine if you had to go through all painful experiences just to learn what's right... you can also avoid things by listening to someone who loves you - for example your parents. Your government does not love you. For them you are just a corn of sand at the beach from which they will build castles with tax income.. castles out of sand cause Jesus is the truth, and everything will turn to dust one day... and none of them can take their money with them... that's the greatest joy of a christian - knowing that Jesus wins.
All i got from it is put that bible down

He thought people could levitate. He was an insane person who just happened to inherit a fortune.
You really believe that? You’re being facetious, right?
I never knew Crowley had a son and managed to turn his life around a bit. Great video!
No the narrator read. It wrong. He had a life and turned his son around. I know, totally diff ending with the mix up
I mean I guess Alleister had a happy ending either way, his son not so much
He probably had incestuous interactions with him. Guy was known for gay orgies, anal abuse , ect after all.
That was interesting. Thanks for diving into that topic.
They took LSD before it was discovered. Truly magical
I was gonna say the same thing. He even died before anyone in the general public could have had access to it. This channel is usually on the ball. I don't know where he got this massively erroneous piece of information.
They took LSD in ancient Egypt? Wow! They didn't mention he was a time traveller!?
*Holds up SARCASM sign*
@@tadialbert1036 Actually he does say LSD right after 12:50 where he is talking about the Abbey of Thelema commune, which took place around 1920, a good 15 years before LSD was discovered. Also, the mention of "psychedelic drugs" @ 6:57 clearly shows blotter paper in a man's hand, which is a main form of delivery of LSD. Not a plant or mushroom to be seen.
I bet he ingested something similar to skooma aswell
Maybe this refers to the use of ergot infected bread or rhy? It´s far from healthy but may be used to induce hallucinations. Acids from ergot were used to create LSD. Ancient Greeks used it as a hallucigenic. He might have read about it.

Crowley wanted to be a preacher like his father. He sure missed the mark.
D.O.P. 57 I’d say he was a preacher of some sort
D.O.P. 57 Are you kidding no he didn’t he just went the wrong way with it
@@jffry24 yeah, Anakin Skywalker style
He saw the duality of man and the hypocrisy of organized religion and became disenfranchised
It’s an already over saturated position to hold
Whoa, makes me wanna explore more what is written about him in "To Aru no Index"
The full quote of the pagan philosophy is: if you harm none, do as you will. That also includes harm to all creatures, including yourself. Sadly, it's often misinterpreted.
In the Book of the Law by Crowley it does not say that. It says:
39. The word of the Law is THELEMA.
40. Who calls us Thelemites will do no wrong, if he look but close into the word. For there are therein Three Grades, the Hermit, and the Lover, and the man of Earth. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.
41. The word of Sin is Restriction. O man! refuse not thy wife, if she will! O lover, if thou wilt, depart! There is no bond that can unite the divided but love: all else is a curse. Accursed! Accursed be it to the aeons! Hell.
42. Let it be that state of manyhood bound and loathing. So with thy all; thou hast no right but to do thy will.
43. Do that, and no other shall say nay.
44. For pure will, unassuaged of purpose, delivered from the lust of result, is every way perfect.
To him doing what you want no matter is what was important, because someone’s will was perfect. He in his lifetime hurt many people, so he didn’t adhere to the pagan from of do as you will. He adhered to do as you will no matter what. Either way, do as you will, is still a totally selfish philosophy. Because you take into account only your desire, even when you say you’re thinking of how it won’t hurt others. We can never a human beings hold to that because we are self centered beings and will always make excuses to do what we want for our own benefit no matter what.
That guy's ceremony was carried out down the road from my place. Weird innit.
Hey, I'm from the States, and I've gotta say that I was knocked sideways by the weird-assted vibes I ran into in Europe. The US hasn't been densely populated nearly as long as any spot in the British Isles. I never thought much about spirits -- seeing or feeling them at all -- until I was there.
How are the vibes in your neck of the woods? Or have you been there so long, it's just background noise?

Crowley had his natal Sun in the 4th House, of home and family. A lot of his rowdy behavior expresses his having Uranus in rising sign / 1s House. Tomega Therion = To Me gather (z)ion.

93/93
Also you left a key part away from the do what thou wilt passage, its the end of that says "Love is the Law, Love under WIll".
Cosminen most people don’t include that unfortunately
They also missed the formation of the OTO
By far the great truth forsaken.
@@evilbarb Crowley did not form the OTO. He was invited in because of things he said on the witness stand in court about Mathers and Rosicrucianism. He quickly rose to the IX° then was made X° which is an administrative position. He eventually took over completely.
The meaning of "Do what thou wilt" is also misrepresented.
LSD was NOT available to Mr. Crowley, please correct 12:59!!
LSD wasn't even discovered as a psychedelic before 1943.
This is a HISTORICAL video, and I respect your work, please keep it that way. ;)
To be a tad bit more constructive, after short preliminairy research, I believe the drugs in question during the 1920-ish period of his life, were most likely things like Peyote, Mescaline and/or psychocybin.
Yes I noticed this to! Yes, was most likely mushrooms or mescaline.
He did do payotie and mescaline though I think that’s where the lsd mixup is
Yes I was wondering the same thing. Lsd was first synthesized in 1938.
Sandolz Labs and a famous bicycle ride is the origin story of LSD 25. I don't know how many versions there are. Argot mold inoculated in a medium of organic rye and liquor, preferably in a glass (Pyrex) 8x8x2 inch pan filled 1/2 way. Either in a clean room, and/or covered in nylon. No light for 48 hours. Check mold growth. When the mold hairs reach the top of the pan, scrape the "gak" off the top and put it in test tubes. Spin in a centrifuge until clear liquid separates. That clear liquid is LSD 25. There's a recipe that is made with marigold seeds, but I am not familiar with that process.
Lsd wasn’t synthesized until late 1930’s he was truly magical
"do as thou wilt.." quote is criminally incomplete.
"First, do no harm
Do as thou wilt others to do unto you and love will be the whole of the law
No one is above the law" is the correct and complete quote.
I still wonder how these grown men gathered to talk and practice magic. They do their magic rituals and nothing happen and they look each other in an awkward silence, then what?
edit: apparently magic is not about creating fireballs in your hand or levitate or stuff like that; it's about internal transformation and changing your way of thinking. I get it, theres like 20 comments all saying the same thing. this comment was made 8 months ago, I've changed since then
We must have said something wrong, or the translation isn't proper. Lets spend money on this other text and give it a try! Rinse repeat.
nothing happened really now your his product in this from the 1960s
successful people keep thier triumphs to their selfs
Peter Carroll, a chaos magician, said if 20% of your spells out of 100% work, then you are doing good. He didnt elaborate how he got that number.
Crowley had some out there ideas, but when you read his work it is not so obviously crazy. Mostly he talked about internal transformations through magic ritual, that it is to transform the mind of the practitioner. To dismiss him as mere superstition ignores the massive influence he had on some of the greatest minds of the 20th Century. As for "magic", Jimmy Page went to his house and wrote Stairway to Heaven in 15mins. He said "it was like something was guiding his hand". Even if you say that it was Jimmy's own brain reacting to the location, this to me is what is meant by "magic". It might only happen in human brains, but that doesn't make it any less remarkable.
