Here is an excerpt from my new book, Aleister Crowley: Magick, Rock and Roll, and The Wickedest Man in the World Tarcher/Penguin. In it I ask why Crowley became a rock and roll mainstay, unlike Jung, Madame Blavatsky, and other esoteric figures embraced by the 1960s counter culture, and what his philosophy of “do what thou wilt” can mean for us today. Here’s the opening to Chapter One, “The Unforgivable Sin.”
