What is the story of Aleister Crowely? Apparently he was also a mountianeer which I find fascinating.

Autistic giga coomer, everything he did was a cope for poon
How so?
>everything he did was a cope for poon and/or wiener
ftfy
>cope for poon
What does that even mean?
Him and all the other weirdos in the OTO were constantly getting laid.
My hair is still wet from fricking my wife in the shower this morning - when did you last have sex?
Yes, he was a sex addict you moron
HOLY BASED! CHAD CROWLEY??? coomer CHAD GIGA BASED!
And bussy…
>Apparently he was also a mountianeer which I find fascinating.
he was quite the explorer yeah
Crowley planned to climb the southwest face of Kanchenjunga over the Yalung Glacier. When Camp IV was made above this glacier, the team had fallen apart: Jacot-Guillarmod especially was shocked by Crowley's arrogant behavior and brutal treatment of the (barefooted) porters. Camp V was still made around 6,200 m, and on September 1, Crowley, Pache, Reymond and a group of porters made it to about 6,500 m before a small avalanche forced a nervous retreat.[1]
The next day Jacot-Guillarmod and De Righi attempted to depose Crowley from expedition leadership. The argument could not be settled, and Jacot-Guillarmod, De Righi, and Pache decided to retreat from Camp V to Camp III. At 5 pm they left with four porters on a single rope, but a fall precipitated an avalanche that killed three porters as well as Alexis Pache. People in Camp V heard "frantic cries" and Reymond immediately descended to help, but Crowley stayed in his tent. That evening he wrote a letter to a Darjeeling newspaper stating that he had advised against the descent and that "a mountain 'accident' of this sort is one of the things for which I have no sympathy whatever". The next day Crowley passed the site of the accident without pausing nor speaking to the survivors and left on his own to Darjeeling, where he took the expedition funds, which mostly had been paid by Jacot-Guillarmod. The latter would get at least some of his money back after threatening to make public some of Crowley's pornographic poetry.[1]
he even looks like a pooner, kek
>balding severely
>womanly little hands
>literally named himself "Aleister"
he'd fit right in with all the aydens and olivers
>Apparently he was also a mountianeer which I find fascinating.
He knew that life was meant to be lived, he also put a huge emphasis on courage in his magickal writings.
Here is a great intro into Crowleys life and works by Mark passio, well worth a listen and it will dispel a lot of the nonsense that is said about him.
?si=WyAVcvgfoUyIjZC-
Mark Passio is solid.
No bullshit with that dude.
Idk why he’s so famous. His alien picture constantly gets reposted but beyond that it seemed like he used magic to handwave being a weird sex pest. Do people even seriously practice thelema? Why do people care about him?
He was a weird sex pest for sure but he absolutely knew his shit when it came to magic(k). A lot of great philosophers have been weird sex pests (Foucault comes to mind.)

You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.

Homie was self-aggrandizing and directly inspired L. Ron Hubbard. I believe anything he said as much as I'd trust a car salesman.
Also was horny on main and roped people into scat play.
the list of people crowley "inspired" would look like a billboard top 200.
No I mean they actually knew each other. Didn't get along because their grifts clashed.
>No I mean they actually knew each other.
And he also knew the guy who started Wicca.
In fact, Gardner was appointed head of Thelema on Crowley's death.
You look like a moronic virgin homosexual right now.
Magic happens around me anyway. Don't need any geometry or cum potions. ◪_◪
>Magic happens around me anyway
That's great and everything but you're also a worthless nothing
Every shitty magician hates Crowley yet somehow fails to live up to his accomplishments.
In a hundred years Crowley's name will be still be uttered daily, while in your case it will have been decades since anyone even remembered you existed.
Sorry but I can't tell what you're saying through all the cum bubbles.
Also, "magician". I'm just god damn awestruck, Chris Angel.
what's your name
there's about a 36 year gap between crowley and hubbard. when did they meet?
They met via Parsons. Source: The Last Podcast On The Left episode about Parsons and oto.
Crowley —-> Jack Parsons -> L Ron.
Hubbard and Parsons were about the same age, sounds like Crowley met a couple kids. Do you have a better source than a podcast episode? Like, did they cite it?
Like Crowley actually met Hubbard? Doubt. Been ages since I read this.
What I remember is they met and traded notes at a cafe Parsons frequented but it's been over a year since I looked into it. Hubbard fricked with the oto for a while, at least.
>and directly inspired L. Ron Hubbard
As well as the Beatles, and apparently all of Kanye West's sex parties
I can tell y'all haven't read up on this guy other than what's superficial.
>This method involves a certain faith in life itself, that it will declare its own meaning and apportion the relative importance of every set of incidents automatically. In other words, it is to assert the theory that the destiny is a supreme artist, which is notoriously not the case on any accepted definition of art. And yet --- a mountain! What a mass of heterogeneous accidents determine its shape! Yet, in the case of a fine mountain, who denies the beauty and even the significance of its form?
I don't take magic advice from people who can't even get their life in order
Probably one of the most influential people when it comes to modern understanding of occultism. He was also the prophet of the new Aeon, which means a lot of different things. People don't understand what he wrote about or the book that he was used to transcribe. They often talk about a version of him that didn't exist. I blame much of the hate for the man, despite his being dead, on a weird blend of religious fundamentalism. Too many people blindly hating on someone and focusing on the negative. The people on /x/ should know better than to do that.
All you need to know about this bald,satanic coomer is his hillarious deadbed confession. Dude fricked around and found out. Let that be a lesson.
What was the confession anon?
there wasn't one, he's trolling you
He did it for the lulz
Including the deathbed recant
yes everyone, he was a philosopher for "the luls" -- what a fricking moron you are.
''Satan, get out'' said Crowley. Both him and Lavey fricked around and found out.
do christians just make things up while jerking off into their bullwinkle tshirt?
homie you can easily look that shit up, just because you worship his ass doesnt make his life incredibly pathetic in the end
then by all means, give us a citation.
also, to be clear, i do not "worship" crowley, nor pound, not elliot, not any of the artists who had such influence. but for you shit-for-brains, vitriol driven, foamed-mouth morons to speak against the these people; it's a fricking embarrassment, you don't even deserve to criticize the beasts. you're a fricking insect with a weak mind and a shit take.
Do your own research 🙂
k y s f a g g o t
awww not fun when its used against you is it 🙂
who do you think i am?
(i did check by the way, and you're full of shit)
>also, to be clear, i do not "worship" crowley
>pissy insults
lmao yeah you do, bet your thelmite ass worships him daily.
fortune was my teacher. crowley is a peer. the ITO and OTO didn't even get the joke.
what did
>he
mean by this?

I wonder if Frank Herbert ever read any Crowley.
you don't need crowley for that. it's implicit in dialectical philosophy. crowley wasn't making shit up, he was playing a philosophy game.
I wasn't trying to imply you need him for that. More just idle curiosity. Herbert was clearly very well-read, and I'd be interested to see which authors he read (in general.)
that's a big question. he once mentioned that before writing dune, he read "the field" -- so essentially, anything science fiction as a means to get a sense of themes. this article has some pretty direct influences as to what he was looking at in the world, but no doubt his literary influences were many.

Kek. Every time you see this YOU JUST KNOW they're an aspiring sex cult leader. See: Joseph Smith and Sabbatai Zevi. There's a price to be paid though, you must truly believe your lies or you won't be able to keep up the act and be unsuccessful or caught. Nowadays that people are educated it helps to overload yourself with spiritual "knowledge" and be fluent in doublespeak
homosexual glowies, they were the same back then as they are today
Didn’t he get in an argument once with a fellow mountaineer over leaving someone to die in a mountain to which he pulled a gun on the man and got kicked right on the crowleys?
He was on an expedition, heard a bunch of his friends dying, didn't give a shit, and when people figured it out they unsurprisingly told him to frick off. moron probably was happy about it too being the contrarian he was.
Crowley was smart, embracing the satanic label "as a joke" was a clever way to hide that he actually was satanic
was he though? I mean pretending to be one while actually being one....while everyone just calls you one just seems like after the fact cope.
>satanic
what exactly does this word mean?
I consider Satanism everything that embraces ideas like freedom and individuality, without emphasizing that impulses coming from human nature are a false form of freedom and individuality.
so like hunger?
Of course hunger doesn't make you an individual. It's part of the collective human natural condition to be hungry, but that's a very irrelevant exemple.
>collective human natural condition
you didn't say that originally. so, in that case, which impusles are not a part of the collective human natural condition? are you saying the impulses which establish you as an individual? what does that mean? is it unnatural? what does it mean for something to be unnatural?
Seems it has become popular to hate on him. Personally I can't agree with all of his lifestyle choices and am not that interested in the idea of Thelema as a religion but it seems to me he was right on many important topics.
>I dont agree with him and he wasnt right on the major subject he pushed
>But he was right anyway
frick me man just say you liked him what is this shit
What I mean is I like what he has to say on various topics but would never consider him my guru or myself a Thelemite.
you really don't consider the fact that other people don't always feel the need to play judge and jury, do you?
