Yeah, anyway, it's silly, like most occult faiths. The most rational lot seemed to be the IOT, which Burroughs was part of.
Must have been useful when trying to think up those Warriors of Mars Storylines;-)
Good old Crowley, often wonder if he had not existed would someone else have taken his place as the father of occult buffoonery. Must admit I would love to have met him as he strikes me as a particularly selfish & odious creature and yet a whole bunch of folk then and since seem to have fallen under his spell. Personally I think his magic lay more in the area of publicity and bending it to his will plus loads of drugs, rather than anything involving the spectral realms
