Aleister Crowley

The God-Eater Aleister Crowley

A work written by Aleister Crowley whilst in Edinburgh to secure wine and a "companion-housekeeper" to take back to Boleskine with him. In his Confessions, Crowley wrote of it thus: "The idea of this obscure and fantastic play is a follows: By a glorious act human misery is secured (history of Christianity). Hence, appreciation of the personality of Jesus is no excuse for being a Christian. Inversely, by a vile and irrational series of acts human happiness is secured (story of the play)."
