The MAN WHO CHOSES EVIL, Aleister Crowley (born Edward Alexander Crowley; 12 October 1875 – 1 December 1947) was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, painter, novelist, and mountaineer. He was responsible for founding the religion and philosophy of Thelema, in which role he identified himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century.
Born to a wealthy Plymouth Brethren family in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, Crowley rejected this fundamentalist religion to pursue an interest in Western esotericism, poetry, and mountaineering. He was educated at the University of Cambridge, where some biographers allege that he was recruited by a British intelligence agency, and that he remained a spy throughout his life.
