Quelques mots sur l'auteur
Aleister Crowley (1875–1947) was an influential and controversial figure in the occult and mysticism. Born Edward Alexander Crowley in Royal Leamington Spa, England, he became a prolific writer, poet, and mountaineer, forging a legacy with his espousal of Thelema, a spiritual philosophy he founded after an experience in Egypt in 1904. Crowley's writings cover a vast array of subjects including magick, tarot, yoga, and the Hermetic Qabalah, reflecting his profound interest in the esoteric. Despite the often scandalous reception of his lifestyle and ideas, Crowley's impact on occultism and its modern expression is undeniable. His book 'The Open Gates of Mysticism' contributes to his body of work, exploring the esoteric traditions and their practices. Crowley's literary style is often characterized by its dense symbolism, allegory, and the use of various poetic structures, which he utilized to convey the complex and arcane themes within his works. Notwithstanding the controversies, his craft earned him the title of 'The Wickedest Man in the World' by the press of his time, Crowley remains a significant figure in the study of Western esotericism and the occult, with scholars continuing to debate and examine his life and contributions to mysticism and literature.
