關於作者
Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) was a prolific British writer, mystic, and occultist, often remembered for his controversial life and influence on modern esoteric philosophies. Born Edward Alexander Crowley in Royal Leamington Spa, England, he altered his name to Aleister Crowley, which he believed aligned with his destiny as a spiritual figure. His participation in ceremonial magic and his founding of the religion of Thelema established him as a central figure in the early 20th-century occult movement. Crowley's literature, such as 'The Blue Equinox' (1919), exemplifies his commitment to Thelema and his role as a prophet of the new Aeon of Horus. The book serves not only as a compendium of his esoteric thought but also as a manual for the practices of the magical order A∴A∴, which he led. Known as 'The Beast 666', Crowley's literary style is characterized by a blend of poetry, mysticism, and practical instructions for magical rituals. Aside from his more esoteric writings, he is also noted for his poetry, diaries, and personal commentaries, which shed light on his expansive and often enigmatic worldview. Scholars and practitioners continue to debate Crowley's legacy, with some viewing him as a champion of spiritual liberation and others critiquing his more controversial methods and personal ethics (Sutin, 2000).
