Megatherion: The Magickal World of Aleister Crowley
By Francis King
 
In this cogent and intensely readable account of Crowley's life and occult progress, Francis King examines each of the three main sources of Magick ― thus throwing much new light on Crowley himself, and doing much to explain the continuing admiration for his writings which has been displayed by individuals as diverse as occultists, film directors from Kenneth Anger to Donald Cammell, and rock musicians such as Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page.
