I heard of Aleister two years ago incidently, as I got redirected to his Wiki page. I didn't read much, but I remember he made an enourmous impact on me. Two years later, which was virtually the begining of 2008, I decided to peek at him again since I heard about Ozzy Osbourn's 'Mr.Crowley'. Though I think I looked at his wiki page before the two years passed, but nothing of great interest, probably just looking around stuff for the Hellfire clubs.
I just love the character he is. I'm not really into his philosophical teachings, but he really did bring me into ocultism itself (Also since I started to form more of a rebeleous behaviour agaisnt my christian school since of a very unlucky incident). Continuing the 'Character' part, I just liked the life he had, which was very strange unlike other historic figures, and that cought my atention immediately. I really think there should be a professional movie dedicated to him, not one of those indies.
What do I think of him now? I still think his life is somwhat influential in me, since, in reality, I've just put a different perspective in life. I don't think he was atomically bad (Although, he didn't seem like the nicest man out there) but I do think he's revolutionized the way I think in a way; specially since once again I actually know ocultism and mysticism because of him.
