Any Modern Day Equivilents?, regardie, bardon, crowley Options

Who are the modern day equivilents of these famous and great magicians? (regardie, bardon, crowley ...ect)
I wasn't looking for astrologers particularly, like liz greene, but was hoping that there would be some that are
still alive that I just don't know of? thanks (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused012.gif)

In terms of "after Crowley," many Crowley people hold J. Daniel Gunther and James Eshelman in high regard, both of whom are members of Crowley's A.'. A.'. and also pioneering authors. In Crowley's OTO, some would put Lon Milo Duquette and Hymaneus Beta in a similar category, at least as authors and/or scholars.

I hold Stephen Skinner in high regard for his magickal scholarship and books.

Chic and Tabatha Cicero claim a line of Golden Dawn descent through Israel Regardie, so he obviously thought they were legitimate (and I think the Cicero's books that I've read are quite good as well). Other G.D. groups, not sure.

Among the druids, or celtic revival group, John Michael Greer has made new waves as a prominent practitioner and scholar.

Among Chaos Magicians, Peter J. Carroll has been a leading author.

Not sure about Wicca, though Scott Cunningham and Silver Ravenwolf are popular authors. The Theosophical movement and Dion Fortune's Society for the Inner Light are around still too, but I'm really not sure about them.

The vast majority of Occult literature out there is aimed at persons who have never been involved in a magical group and/or absolute beginners, which seems to match the market demand. I think a lot of the older stuff embraces a level of greater complexity than is generally offered by many of the modern authors. I tend to treat Regardie and friends as more "standard source material."

That said, I highly, highly appreciate Donald Michael Kraig's "Modern Magick," which is very approachable but also deep.
