Acknowledgments

I would like to thank Ordo Templi Orientis for allowing me to use the copious references to Crowley’s work (and images) that were necessary to adequately explain his life, philosophy, and practices, all of which are in their careful custody. We owe them a debt of gratitude in the protection and preservation of the legacy of the Master Therion.

I would like to express my sincere appreciation to Henrik Bogdan and Katherine Palakovich. I would also like to thank Cheri Gaudet, Michael Estell, and James Strain for their thoughtful review and comments on the work in progress, as well as Lon Milo DuQuette for his kind foreword.
