The most disturbing example of someone being recruited out of Freemasonry into more bizarre occult orders is that of 33rd degree Mason, Aleister Crowley. During his lifetime, Crowley was proclaimed by the press as the most wicked man alive. Crowley's perverted life left a string of casualties among those who were foolish enough to get close to this man. Crowley's first wife, Rose, entered an insane asylum in 1911; his second wife, Maria entered an asylum in 1931, two years after her marriage to Crowley. In a locked room with only Crowley and his son present, Crowley performed a ritual in which his son died... On a London street in 1934, a nineteen-year-old girl rushed up to him and declared that she wanted to have his baby. Crowley took her to bed. She, too, later entered an asylum (Aleister Crowley, "Ancient Wisdom and Secret Sects", Time-Life Books 1989, p. 118).
