Aleister Crowley is the sort of naughty uncle you see in the old family pictures but never met. You heard a lot about him (i even worked with a Thelema) but we never met.
This book was a good way to meet him, to read what he wrote and define my own idea about him.
To be honest I wasn't really impressed by his books as I found them confusing and a mix match of different magical systems.
But i loved the introductions, the notes and the excellent work done by Stephen Skinner as his work helped me to navigate Crowley's works.
Even if I think that the naughty uncle work is not my cup of tea I strongly recommend this book as I think it's a must read.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
