About this title

Synopsis

Aleister Crowley, also known as "The Beast 666", here recounts his "vocation", his practice of sex magic and his bruising encounters with his contemporaries. In a beyond-the-grave "autobiography" he denies that he was a murderer, but claims to be a prophet and practitioner of sexual freedom.
