A few years later, two atomic bombs fell on Japan.
Since then, World War II has ended.
And just two years after the end of World War II, Aleister was chased by the magic world to a dead end.
Obviously, even with May's spoiler, Aleister still hasn't resisted the fate.
On December 1, 1947, Aleister Crowley lay on a haystack in a dilapidated weed shed in a rural village in England where the Severn River flows. Breathing heavily, his body was stained red with blood, like a run-down puppet. Life is withering in his body, and I am afraid it will not be long before he will meet the arrival of death.
In fact, in the official history, Aleister, the death of the silver star is also this day.
In the official history, Crowley was born on October 12, 1875, and Eliphaslevi died in the same year as he was born (so some people think he is the reincarnation of Eli Levy). His parents were members of the Plymouth Brethren, a Christian fundamentalist. As such, Crowley lived in an environment of complete biblical observance, yet he was thoroughly disdainful of Christianity. Crowley grew up fond of traveling, climbing, reading, writing poetry, and having sex with different women.
Aleister Crowley attended Trinity College, Cambridge, but did not finish his studies, and after leaving he was introduced to a Golden Dawn Society member, George Ceciljones. The Golden Dawn is an occult society, led by Samuelliddell Macgregormathers, that teaches about magic, Kabbalah, alchemy, tarot, astrology, and other belonging In the subject of esotericism, many well-known figures including Witt and even the great poet Yeats have appeared in this association, and this association has had a great influence on modern Western occultism.
Although he rebelled against traditional spiritual teachings and leaned toward the mysterious world, what really started him to explore the underworld was on Easter 1898, when he read a book, Carlvoneckartshausen, the clouduponthesanctuary ), the book implies that there is a group of invisible brothers guiding the evolution of mankind in the spiritual world, and Crowley was so attracted by this group of brothers and their abilities that he vowed to be in it and to be their leader.
Crowley's relationship with the Golden Dawn began in 1898, and he soon rose to the top of the society. But in 1900 the society began to split and Crowley was denied access to the higher ranks of the Golden Dawn because Yeats said "we do not think of the Golden Dawn as a reformatory", so Crowley left the UK and started everywhere travel. He used yoga to train his mind and body, and used Eastern occult systems to integrate Western occult systems.
In 1903, Crowley married Rosekelly and went to Egypt for their honeymoon. When they returned to Cairo the following year, Rose went into a hypnotic state, believing that the Egyptian god Horus wanted to give the oracle to his husband. To test the authenticity, Crowley took Rose to a museum in Egypt and asked him to point out which of the Egyptian gods was Horus. She recognized several famous statues and walked towards a funeral stone pillar. The column depicts Horus receiving offerings from the dead, and Crowley was particularly interested in a fragment in the museum that had 666 written on it, a number he had been interested in since he was a child.
In 1920 he established a monastery in his Sicilian villa to spread his ideas.
In 1923, he was expelled by the Italian government and went to Tunisia and then to France, where his disciples left him one after another. He suffered from drug addiction, and loneliness and illness led him to leave France, and after a period of sojourn in Germany, he finally returned to England for the remaining fifteen years.
In 1929, he married his second wife, Maria Teresa (mariateresademiramar) in Hawaii, and at the same time published an important magnum opus, "magickintheoryandpractic".
In 1943, he published his research on the tarot as The Book of Thoth.
In 1947, he was destitute and living in an apartment. In his later years, he claimed to use magic to summon an incorporeal being, and he himself did not know what it was. In a letter to a friend, he said that he would spend the rest of his life trying to figure out the nature of that thing and make it public.
Crowley died on December 1, 1947, and his body was later cremated and sent to his followers in the United States.

In official history, Crowley traveled around the world, collecting occult arts and the eccentric customs of local traditions to mix with Western occult arts, such as Ceylon, India, and China.
During his time in China, he was deeply interested in the Book of Changes, which he also incorporated into his writings. His most important book, The Book of Law, was taught to him in Cairo by an esoteric leader named "aiwass", according to him. The process of dictating the transcript lasted three hours.
