Aleister Crowley remembered on his birthday

Original: Born this day – Aleister Crowley Author, mystic, heroin addict, poet, painter, occultist and whack job Aleister Crowley

Posts are marking the birthday of Aleister Crowley, the English occultist, author, poet and painter born on this day in 1875. Crowley, who died on 1 December 1947, remains a notorious figure, remembered both for founding the religious philosophy of Thelema and for his reputation for drug use and scandalous behaviour. Anniversary posts describe him bluntly as a mystic, addict and eccentric.

Why now: It is the anniversary of Aleister Crowley's birth, a date that annually prompts retrospectives on the famous occultist.
