To be fair, there is a quip eraly in his auto hagiography where he says something like. "I gave myself to Satan". Tho is all tongue in cheek.
He was incredibly intelligent and had a deep rooted sense of humor. Its a huge mistake to take what he says at face value, which makes his works very difficult to dig into and really understand.
For example. He gets shitfor one section where he talks of human sacrifice. He says pure young males are the best for this. Reading the whole of this section, a smart person can easily deduce he's talking about masterbation. His sperm being the chip sacrifice. Sadly, in his day, it was okay to publish work about sacrificing a child, but talking about pleasuring yourself wouldn't be socially acceptable.
I could give 100 examples of similar writings of his.
Ive read some Robert A Wilson also saying that Crowely was not a Satanist. Suggesting he was messing with peoples superstitions, and how easily they fall for mysticism.

This is something spiritual for shure. Anyone have facts about Crowley that isnt mainstreamed?

I've studied Crowely for the last 10 years, what do you want to know?
One thing I can say for sure is Crowely would hate these fuckers. More so knowing they're perverting his life work in anyway.

How so? I thought Crowely was a Satanist or something.

He certainly was not a Satanist.
