Thelema

The Confessions of Aleister Crowley

by Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley's autobiography, which he called an autohagiography, recounting his life from childhood through his mountaineering, involvement with the Golden Dawn, travels and the founding of Thelema. Only partially published during his lifetime, it later appeared in an abridged edition. Witty, self-mythologizing and opinionated, it is an important if unreliable primary source for Crowley's life and self-presentation.
