A historical biography through and through, Lachman’s book is meticulously researched and it is quite easy to believe that the author, like a professor well-versed in their subject, could analyze and extrapolate at much greater lengths. The oft touted declaration of Crowley as the Wickedest Man in the World, may well have been overblown in it’s own time, but he’s certainly not an individual with whom it is easy to empathize. “Clocking in at 394 pages jam-packed with in-depth information, factoids, anecdotes and insights from the first sentence to the last. As detestable as he is, there is an undeniable fascination in his exploits, and Lachman seems the perfect man to deliver them.”—The Examiner“Gary Lachman has be
Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. But twenty years later, Crowley’s name and image were everywhere. The Beatles put him on the cover of Sgt. The Rolling Stones were briefly serious devotees. Today, his visage hangs in goth clubs, occult temples, and college dorm rooms, and his methods of ceremonial magick animate the passions of myriad occultists and spiritual seekers.Aleister Crowley is more than just a biography of this compelling, controversial, and divisive figure—it’s also a portrait of his unparalleled influence on modern pop culture.. This definitive work on the occult’s “great beast” traces the arc of his controversial life and influence on rock-and-roll giants, from the Rolling Stones to Led Zeppelin to Black Sabbath. When Aleister Crowley died in 1947, he was not an obvious contender for the most enduring pop-culture figure of the next century
His books—including Swedenborg, Jung the Mystic, and Rudolf Steiner—have received international acclaim. He lives in London. . Gary Lachman is one of today’s most respected writers on esoteric and occult themes. A founding member of Blondie, Lachman has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Drew Kepler said Excellent read. Written we'll, very informative and unbiased. Explains Crowleys triumphs and failures. Best book on Crowley I've read, and I've read a few. Not the usual Crowley bio! Walter Five Gary Lachman has done it again, with another outstanding occultists biography!It is always most interesting when a Writer and Biographer outside of the "bubble" of Thelemic Philosophy and Art writes on Crowley. Not drinking the Kool-Aid of Crowley hero-worship allows Mr. Lachman to even-handedly review the uncovered facts and new theories of other recent Crowley biographers, and his position in Rock Music as Blondie's "Gary Valentine" gives him unique insight into Crowley's influence on Popular Music and Modern Culture. Not as det. John Ceperich said I know it's only Perdurabo but I like it. I received an uncorrected proof of the Aleister Crowley -Magick, Rock and Roll, and the Wickedest Man in the World book by Gary Lachman and just finished my first reading of it. Mr. Lachman ponders the notion that the essence of Magick is synchronicity and while the friend who sent me this book did not read it himself, he has actually been writing a book on synchronicity. The scholarship in this book is thoroughly remarkable and Lachman would rather use a few ounces of ink to include an extra sentence or two then edit them out. La
