She died in Srinagar on 11 May 1962. She bequeathed the original paintings of her Tarot cards to fellow Thelemite Gerald Yorke, who in turned placed them with the Warburg Institute along with much other Crowley material that he had collected over the years. However, Yorke retained several alternative versions of the cards and some preliminary studies which he later sold through bookdealer Harold Mortlake. [7]

Duquette also notes that Harris’s portrayal is a “Cornucopia of sacred images, many of which reveal themselves only after long meditation (and the aid of a magnifying glass).” Harris’s fool is accompanied by a dove of innocence, or as Duquette suggests, the holy spirit. A butterfly references transformation. A vulture, shown in part above the butterfly, represents Maut, the Egyptian vulture goddess. Duquette interprets a winged globe as a symbol of Mercury, and quotes Crowley himself; “The whole picture is a glyph of the creative light.” One of the circle around Crowley in the 1930s was Greta Mary Valentine ( 1907–1998), the adopted daughter of James Henry Sequeira, dermatologist, and his wife, Nellie Adams. Educated in England and on the continent, Greta was studying anthroposophy when she met Crowley in 1936. Although she did not share his interest in drugs or magic, he was fascinated by her flirtations, and soon became her close friend and confidant, while both had other lovers. Crowley declared his love for her, and in 1938 followed her to Cornwall where she was on holiday with Lamorna Birch, the landscape painter. Birch introduced Greta to Ranald Valentine ( d. 1956), who ran a company in Dundee making greetings cards and calendars. When he and Greta decided to marry, Crowley declared himself desolated, but the marriage endured until Ranald's death. Crowley declared bankruptcy in 1935 after trying to sue multiple people for libel. He had significant financial issues due to his drug use and travels, and he wasn't exactly good with his money. The courts found that Crowley was actually spending three times his income!

Crowley has remained an influential figure, both amongst occultists and in popular culture, particularly that of Britain, but also of other parts of the world. In 2002, a BBC poll placed Crowley seventy-third in a list of the 100 Greatest Britons. [302] Richard Cavendish has written of him that "In native talent, penetrating intelligence and determination, Aleister Crowley was the best-equipped magician to emerge since the seventeenth century." [303] The scholar of esotericism Egil Asprem described him as "one of the most well-known figures in modern occultism". [304] The scholar of esotericism Wouter Hanegraaff asserted that Crowley was an extreme representation of "the dark side of the occult", [305] adding that he was "the most notorious occultist magician of the twentieth century". [306] The philosopher John Moore opined that Crowley stood out as a "Modern Master" when compared with other prominent occult figures like George Gurdjieff, P. D. Ouspensky, Rudolf Steiner, or Helena Blavatsky, [307] also describing him as a "living embodiment" of Oswald Spengler's " Faustian Man".

The book claims that Crowley is the prophet who would lead the people of Earth through the world's new Aeon. The book tells that people should live in tune with their Will, and do what they wish.

Crowley spent WWI in America where he took up painting and apparently spoke up for the German war effort against his home country. He was nothing if not controversial, although he later claimed that his German advocacy was all part of his secret service work. He certainly achieved much notoriety during his lifetime, so if one estimate of greatness is being talked about a lot then he deserves his inclusion in this column. When you look at this Magus Thoth Tarot Card, the center is a youthful relaxed character, who is a great dexterity (on the tip of the toe) on the mountain of the subconscious and juggling various symbols floating around. His two ankles are surrounded by a pair of giant wings (the symbol of Crystal), balancing the young man in an exaggerated and passionate posture. A human ape is climbing from the land below. In 1904, after leaving the Golden Dawn, Crowley travelled to Egypt. He reported that while there, he received a channeled text called “The Book of the Law.” At the heart of this text was the message, “ Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law; love is the law, love under will. ” Her får du en ”facitliste” eller en ordbog, du kan tage med under armen, når du skal til at bruge det nye ”sprog”, tarot er.

Crowley's belief system, Thelema, has been described by scholars as a religion, [217] and more specifically as both a new religious movement, [218] and as a " magico-religious doctrine". [219] It has also been characterized as a form of esotericism and Modern Paganism. [220] Although holding The Book of the Law—which was composed in 1904—as its central text, Thelema took shape as a complete system in the years after 1904. [221] The positive disintegration of structures and confinement, altruistic idealism, infinite imagination, perception of the universe. In his waning years Crowley befriended John Symonds and acceded to the young writer's request that Crowley supply notes for a biography. He designated Symonds and Kenneth Grant, the youngest of his last students, as literary executors, empowered to publish his papers. On 1 December 1947, at Netherwood, a residential hotel in The Ridge, Hastings, Crowley, by this time a chronic heroin addict, died of bronchitis and heart congestion. His remains were cremated at Brighton and reportedly have been lost. According to Crowley's later statements, on 8 April he heard a disembodied voice claiming to be that of Aiwass, the messenger of Horus, or Hoor-Paar-Kraat. Crowley said that he wrote down everything the voice told him over the course of the next three days, and titled it Liber AL vel Legis or The Book of the Law. [55] The book proclaimed that humanity was entering a new Aeon, and that Crowley would serve as its prophet. It stated that a supreme moral law was to be introduced in this Aeon, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," and that people should learn to live in tune with their Will. This book, and the philosophy that it espoused, became the cornerstone of Crowley's religion, Thelema. [56] Crowley said that at the time he had been unsure what to do with The Book of the Law. Often resenting it, he said that he ignored the instructions which the text commanded him to perform, which included taking the Stele of Revealing from the museum, fortifying his own island, and translating the book into all the world's languages. According to his account, he instead sent typescripts of the work to several occultists he knew, putting the manuscript away and ignoring it.

Although not proven, Crowley claims to be the one who popularized the “V” or “peace” sign. He claimed to have inspired Winston Churchill’s use of the sign when working for English intelligence. Crowley spoke of the sign before WWII in his book The Equinox I. Hey, everything else this guy claimed seems pretty on the level, so why not? Landis, Bill (1995).
