Presented here
is an array of articles concerning Aleister Crowley from a wide variety of
sources. I have been collecting articles for over 10 years now but cannot take credit for all the articles presented here. The older ones, from 1910 - 1950, are taken from the Yorke Collection, housed at the Warburg Institute in London. I thank the supplier very much for his generosity in giving them to me and dedicate this page to Gerald Yorke, who surely saved and preserved valuable material of Crowley's as well as material about him. Although the copyright of these articles rests with the source's and authors, a considerable amount of work has went into transcribing, hosting and presenting these articles. I would ask all j journalists/researchers to name Crowleyana.co.uk as a source in works thay use extracts from and get in touch. I could possibly be of further assistance. |
