+Bree never directly referenced Crowley but often mentioned the [[Hymn of One]] not by name, but just as "her religion." It was revealed a little after the shrine was noticed that Aleister Crowley had a high role within the Hymn of One &ndash; with many holidays named after him.
-Dubbed the "Wickedest Man in the World," Crowley is perhaps best known for his seemingly contradictory but esoterically linked instructions called the Law of [[Thelema]]: "Do what thou Wilt shall be the whole of the Law. Love is the law, love under Will." He is also associated with the number 93, since qabalistically love and will both enumerate to 93, thus it is shorthand for the Law of Thelema.

-Crowley also took over the [[Ordo Templis Orientis]] after its founder Theodor Reuss's death. Under Crowley's leadership, the O.T.O. was reorganized under the laws of [[Thelema]].

-Crowley died of a respiratory infection on December 1st, 1947, at the age of 72. He had become addicted to heroin after being prescribed morphine for his asthma and bronchitis many years earlier. He and his last doctor died within 24 hours of each other. Reports claim that the doctor had refused to continue his opiate prescription and that Crowley had put a curse on him.

-===Further Research===
-In a [[Aleister Crowley (video)|video]] named after Crowley, [[Daniel]] reads a story from an unspecified Arizona newspaper that associates Crowley with [[1943 abduction|an abduction in 1943]]. However, Crowley never lived in Arizona nor owned a house there, so the reference was complete fiction.
 ===Connections to the Order===
-According to [[Hidden Treasures]], Aleister Crowley once took an expedition to Egypt -- [[Denderah]], more specifically -- and discovered some hieroglyphics in tomb of one of [[Hathor]]'s [[trait positive|descendants]]. They taught him the secrets of [[trait positive]] girls. He tracked down the girls and used them to his own advantage, and went on to found [[the Order]].

 Also, Crowley's birthday is on October 12th, which was the date of the [[The Ceremony|fake Ceremony]] that [[Lucy]] used to trick Daniel. The occasion is casually celebrated by modern Thelemites under the title of Crowleymas, typically with curry, wine, and lots of mirth.

 ==Introduction==
 '''Aleister Crowley''' (1875-1947) (pronounced "Al-list-er Crow-lee") was a figure in late 19th and early 20th century occultism. [[Bree]] has a picture of him on the wall of her bedroom (above her bookcase, to the left of her door), leading many to assume that [[Hymn of One|her religion]] is affiliated in some way with [[Thelema]].
