ok i know this is kinda a stupid question but What exactly did Crowley do that was soo bad?



I know he was a member of Golden Dawn, a number of witch covens,



a clandestine mason, and a big sexual deviant, however...what kind of sexual things made him so bad? was he a child molester or something?



what kind of sex magic did he get involved in?

He challenged people to think for themselves and to deny ignorance. Most people, of course, have a deathly fear of actually having to think for themselves, which made Crowley an easy target.Golden Dawn yes, witch covens no. Although he certainly had a large influence on Gerald Gardner, the founder of modern Wicca.Crowley's writings often contain some rather bizarre themes. The problem with people who call Crowley a "deviant" is that they always want to take him too seriously. Personally, I find him refreshing. Most occult writers throughout history (Agrippa, Barrett, Pike, Waite, etc.) are rather stodgy and scholastic, while Crowley had a wild sense of humor. Anton Szandor LaVey pointed out that Crowley spent most of his writing career with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek (although, of course, the same could be said of LaVey).An example of Crowley's "deviant wit" can be found in his commentaries to Liber AL, when he describes the inherent divinity of sex. He informs us that the act, if in accordance with True Will, is always holy, whether it's the Spirit and Mary or "the Pennsylvanian with his pig". Obviously, Crowley is not advocating bestiality, but is simply cracking a ridiculous joke.The big secret of the O.T.O. is found in its IX°, technically styled the "Sanctuary of the Gnosis". This O.T.O. degree contains the primary instructions for their sex magical techniques. If you'd like more information about it, send me a U2U. It may be of interest to note that this big "secret" is plainly hinted at in the O.T.O.'s public religious celebration, the Gnostic Mass.
