Aleister Crowley
Aleister Crowley was a British occultist and mystic, or, according to Evelyn Smythe, a narcissistic charlatan who wrote awful poetry. "He was a bit of a joke, really"; at the very best, he was a "cut-price Nietzsche". According to her, he "filed his teeth into points, and called himself the Beast." (AUDIO: The Spectre of Lanyon Moor)
Sir Archibald Flint believed that Aleister Crowley was a prophet. As he saw it, Crowley's vision was the dissolution of absolute morality. He wrote, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." Evelyn called this a very feeble philosophy. Sir Archibald used a variation on this quote as a justification for imposing his own will on all the people. (AUDIO: The Spectre of Lanyon Moor)
