Aleister Crowley

Aleister Crowley (October 12th, 1875 – December 1st, 1947) was a figure in late 19th and early 20th century occultism. Crowley's life largely consisted of exploring the far reaches of the once great British Empire, studying various forms of Vajrayana Buddhism, theosophy, occultism, ceremonial magick, and ancient ritual. He incorporated these into his own comprehensive methodology in an extensive body of literature consisting of poetry, prose, essays, and syncretized occultism. In the LG15 Franchise, he is credited for founding the Order of Denderah.

Role in the Series
In lonelygirl15's first season, Aleister Crowley was noticed so much because Bree had a picture of him as a part of what some describe as a "shrine" in her bedroom.

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 – with many holidays named after him.



Connections to the Order
According to Hidden Treasures, Aleister Crowley once took an expedition to Egypt&mdash;Denderah, more specifically&mdash;and discovered some hieroglyphics in tomb of one of Hathor's 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 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.
