The Confessions of Aleister Crowley: An Autohagiography
Author: Aleister Crowley
Desc: Aleister Crowley's autobiographical confessions are a fascinating record of his lifetime's journey into Strange regions of consciousness. A 'saint' of the 'Gnostic' church Crowley subtitled his six-volume work 'an autohagiography'. He describes his initiation into magic his world-wide travels and mistresses his experiments with sex and drugs and the philosophy of his famous Book of the Law which contains the gospel that Crowley proclaimed for all mankind: the Law of Thelema or Do What Thou Wilt. Generations before his time Crowley invoked sex drugs and Eastern philosophy in his perpetual and often bizarre search for self-realization. The Confessions skillfully edited and annotated by John Symonds and Kenneth Grant serves as the perfect introduction to Crowley's extraordinary life and thought.
