The Confessions of Aleister Crowley

Crowley’s autobiography offers a sweeping account of his life, travels, magical work, and intellectual development, written in a characteristically expansive style. Historically valuable as a self-portrait of one of the most influential occult figures of the twentieth century, it contains memoir, literary reflection, and extensive commentary on the ideas and events that shaped his career.

Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, and religious innovator who founded Thelema, a modern esoteric system centered on will, ritual, and spiritual liberation. His many books, including Liber AL vel Legis and Magick in Theory and Practice, made him one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century occult literature.
