  He may have had some beasty aspects to him, honestly I'm not sure.  I know that he was dialed into a lot of powerful magic, he was able to make a phenomenal Tarot deck, probably one of the best in existance.  He had connections with Blavatsky, she was definitely in touch with the occult and deeper energies.
  
  His moral compass was not in touch with modern times, he was very raw in his dealings with sexuality from what I've been told.  I'd venture to say that he may have been all three.... but since I didn't know him in real life, I wouldn't want to say too much.
  
  I think today - he would have been a totally different person, but probably similar in some ways as well.  I am sure he had his lessons to learn in this life, and beyond... He did leave behind a lot of wisdom, he was definitely in touch with "something" from the "beyond", a very intelligent man.

    Very true. It's almost impossible to get a fair idea of the man now days. All of the sources of information seem biased! And Crowley, with reason, kept many of his doings secret.

    I cannot help but to agree with you. He was certainly corrupt in some way, and the fact that Thelemites even exist shows that his evil had/has a lasting effect. Rather disturbing if you think about it.
