What are your thoughts on this man? For a few years now i've been intrigued by his writings and his life, born into the Plymouth Brethren he rebelled against his strict religious upbringing and developed a 'religion' of his own called Thelema, a positivist meritocracy rooted in immoralism.
He was also an occultist, being a member of the Golden Dawn and O.T.O during his life. He believed that any mystical experiences should not be taken at face value but scrutinized under the watchful eye of science and experimented with - he advocated 'sex magick' as a means of evoking this 'mysticism'. Dubbed 'The Wickedest man in the world' he caused public outrage in his life time. Accused of child abuse, racism, bisexuality (this was Victorian England) and Satanism. What are people's opinions on him? Evil? Genius? Delusional? Visionary? Twat? Last edited by Sneer; 01-06-2009 at 02:17 PM. |
