Infamous occultist of the nineteenth and twentieth century, Aleister Crowley is best known for reviving the Ordo Templi Orientis, and as the author of many books, including the Magick in Theory and Practice, The Book of the Law, and The Book of Lies. He was an accomplished Ritual magician, but unfortunately enjoyed his reputation as a libertine, clouding his reputation with rumors of orgies, drugs, and other goings on. Contrary to popular rumour, Crowley was not a Satan worshipper, nor did he perform human (or animal) sacrifices.
