Crowley was a very interesting fellow. Why is this not in mainspace? Even in its present somewhat stubby state... hey, a lot of other articles in mainspace are more stubby than this. (((Zack Martin))) 05:51, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

I'd rather not put it out there until there's at least something in each section. ThunderkatzHo! 06:40, 11 June 2011 (UTC)
Good work, Thunderkatz.--Colonel Sanders (talk) 21:48, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

I don't know that you could call Crowley a "hippie" - the term implies a kind of laziness and dissolution, and, say what you will, Crowley was in no way lazy. I don't know what the proper analogy would be, though; maybe closer to "esoteric libertarian". --Pere Ubu (talk) 17:15, 15 October 2014 (UTC)

Wouldn't "Frater Perdurabo" translate more closely to something like "Enduring Brother"? Admittedly my Latin is pretty bad, but can't imagine an accurate translation would have Frater be something other than Brother. 98.250.177.207 (talk) 20:18, 4 August 2021 (UTC)Ryan

Homosexual category[edit]

This guy, was a bisexual not homosexual... I think we can make new category? "bisexual". Contractor (talk) 16:56, 8 October 2013 (UTC)

Terminology[edit]

...'low high rank' needs rephrasing - does it mean AC went past the basic ranks but did not become a top-ranker? 86.191.125.179 (talk) 14:08, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

"low" was probably a mistake. Fixed. Petey Plane (talk) 15:50, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

Suggestion[edit]

If Dennis Wheatley does not warrant a RW article of his own, perhaps a mention and link to the WP page on this article - see eg [1]. Anna Livia (talk) 14:50, 3 May 2019 (UTC)

So people incorrectly think that a thriller writer was a good friend of Aleister Crowley? Who fucking cares? No. It's a terrible suggestion. Spud (talk) 15:44, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
A sufficiently 'tenuous connection' in the non-WP link to hang a question on: a mention in the '...WB Yeats...' sentence on the occult page would probably suffice. Anna Livia (talk) 19:12, 3 May 2019 (UTC)
