Happy Birthday Uncle Al

Amongst Thelemites, Aleister Crowley is affectionately called Uncle Al. Being a play on his name and the holy book he wrote; Liber AL (vel Legis).

Today,October 12 , is his birthday.

He tempered his spirituality/philosophy with a sense of humour, a quality absent amongst true believers. As well as adopting the moniker 'the Great Beast', something his fundamentalist mother called him, he also said;

"I am a Hell of a Holy Guru"



Edward Alexander Crowley 1875-1947
