The autobiographical “confession” of one of the great mystics and esoterics of the 20th century Alistair Crowley is devoted to his life and magical work. Crowley had a craving for risk and danger, for all kinds of extremes of both spiritual and sensual life- there was something in it from St. Juan de la Cruz, and from the Marquis de Sada. At the same time, he did not stop his campaign for the “holy grade” for a moment – and rising to the Himalayas, and seducing the countess, and brazhnichi with Rodin, and shocking others around with eccentric antics.
This book will open the secrets of the sphinx in human form. It can be traced on it as a boy brought up in the suffocating atmosphere of religious fanaticism, turns into a mature husband, proclaiming the word of his Eon. Between the lines, he shares opinions on a variety of issues in the usual manner – sincere and arrogant, ironic and insightful. At the same time, the author regularly does not forget to remind us that he himself is no less a fool than fools all those he writes about.
