Despite his intentions, Crowley's writing style—rooted in Edwardian English and filled with obscure references—remains a challenge for anyone lacking significant prior knowledge of occultism. That's where Marco Visconti's Aleister Crowley's Mysticism: A Practical Guide stands out. It serves as a guiding light that illuminates Crowley's teachings, blending deep personal scholarship with practical insight. Visconti skillfully breaks down complex ideas, offering clear explanations that keep the depth of Crowley's mysticism intact without watering it down. This makes it easier for a wider audience to grasp while still capturing its transformative power." - MAT AURYN, author of PSYCHIC WITCH, MASTERING MAGICK, and THE PSYCHIC ART OF TAROT " Aleister Crowley's Mysticism is a work of true occult scholarship.
