Aleister Crowley who used to call himself "666 the Beast", practitioner of black magic & a mix of occult rituals, is idolized by many Satanic or New Age types and these quotes from his book “Magick in Theory and Practice” reinforce existing Satanic practices of human sacrifice:
"For the highest spiritual working one must accordingly choose that victim which contains the greatest and purest force. A male child of perfect innocence and high intelligence is the most satisfactory and suitable victim. "
"But the bloody sacrifice, though more dangerous, is more efficacious; and for nearly all purposes human sacrifice is the best."
His followers try to obfuscate the subject claiming it's allegorical but in light of the subject matter of the book chapter the intent is obvious.
Crowley got mainstream attention when Heavy Metal & Punk Rock types began quoting him in the 80s & 90s.
