Aleister Crowley: Con Man
---
Edward Alexander Crowley, better known as Aleister Crowley, has been dubbed by some as ‘the wickedest man in the world’, but he preferred to call himself ‘The Great Beast 666’.
---
To some, he was a faker and a con man; to others, he was a spiritual master and misunderstood genius. Regardless, Aleister Crowley was undoubtedly the most influential occultist of the 20th century. And he was also something else: a spy. In fact, Crowley was an agent provocateur—an agent who gains the enemy’s confidence and influences them to commit illegal or self-defeating acts.

Crowley intertwined secret societies, occultism, and espionage in a way that hadn’t been done before. The secret society–occult interplay seems obvious enough. The connection with intelligence agencies is a little harder to figure.
---
Basically, spy agencies are bureaucratic secret societies. Their aim is to acquire the secrets of others, and conceal their own. They’re selective in recruitment, and bind members by oaths of silence. They prefer to operate outside of public awareness and scrutiny.
---
The pursuit of occult knowledge is quite similar. As Crowley put it: “Investigation of spiritualism makes a capital-training ground for secret service work; one soon gets up to all the tricks.” It’s not by accident that intelligence professionals are commonly nicknamed ‘spooks’.
---
Espionage has its own moral code. One British agent recalled being told—at the time of his recruitment—that “you mustn’t be afraid of forgery and you mustn’t be afraid of murder”. Crowley’s personal motto of “Do What Thou Wilt” fit perfectly.
---
While popular imagination connects the occult with the supernatural, or diabolical, it really just means ‘concealed’.
---
An occultist seeks to reveal what is hidden, and, as often as not, re-conceal it.
---
A cardinal rule in secret societies is that the knowledge such organizations offer isn’t for everyone.
---
It’s for the elect, and part of the elect’s job is to keep it to themselves.

A guide to traveling with “the wickedest man in the world.”
---
Born in the late 1870s, England, Aleister Crowley was one of the great characters of the 20th century—a poet, a magician, a journalist, an alchemist, a philosopher, a spy, a self-affirmed drug fiend, and a sex addict. He was also known as “The Great Beast” and the “wickedest man in the world.” He played a major role in the creation of alternate religions like Wicca, the A∴A∴, and the Ordo Templi Orientis, and he founded the Order of Thelema, a semi-Satanic cult whose famous edict was “do what thou wilt.”

Crowley is to the occult as Tolkien is to fantasy—he set the stage that everyone else plays in. Basically, if you’re dabbling in things dark and dastardly, Aleister was probably there first.
---
In all of his doings, Crowley traveled a lot. He pursued exploits in Egypt, India, the Far East, Australia, all over Europe and North America, dotting the map with sex magick and weird stunts. Here are a six places in the Atlas where the infamous occultist left his mark.
