Crowley was probably the most influential figure in modern occultism. His books present a very well-developed view of Magick whether or not anyone who reads it agrees with him or follows his instructions.

His bad behavior is sometimes exaggerated, but for a 72 yr old man, the Book of Thoth was well-done. How many heroin addicts of your acquaintance could produce such a thing at that age?

His conjuration of Typhon in 1903, aimed to kill his occult master, succeeded in 1918 with the Spanish Flu which killed 20-40 million other people worldwide. He was influential in the World Wars and is a respected mind among many popular and powerful people. He is worth reading for that alone. He wrote volumes of poetry, plays and verse, and several novels in addition to his Magick writings.
