The Italian historian of esotericism Giordano Berti, in his book Tarocchi Aleister Crowley (1998) quotes a number of literary works and films inspired by Crowley's life and legends. Some of the films are The Magician (1926) by Rex Ingram, based upon the eponymous book written by William Somerset Maugham (1908); Night of the Demon (1957) by Jacques Tourneur, based on the story "Casting the Runes" by M. R. James; and The Devils Rides Out (1968) by Terence Fisher, from the eponymous thriller by Dennis Wheatley. Also: " Dance To The Music of Time " by Anthony Powell, " Black Easter " by James Blish," The Winged Bull " by Dion Fortune.

According to the 100 Greatest Britons, a BBC broadcast in 2002, Crowley ranked 73.

Crowley and his beliefs were the subject of testimony in the 1994 murder trial of Damien Echols, as shown in the documentary film Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills.

Aleister Crowley's image was used as one of many on the cover of The Beatles Sgt. Pepper LP released in 1967. Crowley is listed as #2 of 87 characters (including several inanimate objects) in the inside sleeve of the album. [1]

Ernest Hemingway references Crowley in his memoir A Moveable Feast. In it, Ford Maddox Ford claims to have "cut" a man he thinks was Hilaire Belloc, but which in fact turns out to be "Alestair Crowley, the diabolist".[2]

Ozzy Osbourne released a song titled "Mr. Crowley" on his solo album Blizzard of Ozz. A rather weak spurious comparison between Crowley and Osbourne in the context of their media portrayals can be found in the Journal of Religion and Popular Culture.[3]

Iron Maiden recorded two tracks that relate to Crowley: "Moonchild" from Seventh Son of a Seventh Son and "Revelations" from Piece of Mind. Bruce Dickinson, singer with Iron Maiden, wrote the screenplay of Chemical Wedding (directed by Julian Doyle and released in America on DVD as Crowley),[4] which features Simon Callow as Oliver Haddo, the name taken from the Magician- villain character in the Somerset Maugham book "The Magician", and in turn inspired by Maugham's meeting with Crowley[5]

Crowley and his teachings feature in several issues of Alan Moore and J.H. Williams III's occult oriented comic book series Promethea..[6]

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page is one of the biggest collectors of Crowley items. He owns some of his clothing, several manuscripts and some ritual objects. During the 1970s Page bought Boleskine House, which also appears in the band's movie The Song Remains the Same. Reference to Crowley, and The Golden Dawn can also be found on the 1971 Hunky Dory album by David Bowie in the song "Quicksand". Aleister Crowley is also an influence, and inspiration to the work of the radical avant garde underground Magician film - maker Kenneth Anger, see his Magick Lantern Cycle series of works. Other Artists/Musicians influenced, and inspired by Crowley are David Tibet of Current 93, Genesis P. Orridge of Psychic TV, and Coil.

gondok a tartalommal szerkesztés

ez elég nagy amatőr hozzáállás: a Raja Yoga tanulmányozása és intenzív művelése után, 1901. októberében bejelentette, hogy elérte dhjána állapotát, mely a világgal való egyesülés egyik lépcsőfoka (Magick (Liber ABA) című könyvében részletesen tárgyalja a témát). - a dhjána meditációt jelent és a rádzsa jóga végcélja nem a dhjána, esetleg a szamádhi. de ez utóbbi sem a világgal való egyesülés, hanem a "legfelsőbb lélekkel"..

látom az angolból lett fordítva a cikk zöme, anélkül hogy vki is utánanézett volna hogy mennyire hitelesek az állítások. csak minden zagyvaságot átfordítottak magyarra. – Milei.vencel vita 2017. május 14., 19:30 (CEST)Válasz
