The occultist Aleister Crowley was dubbed in his lifetime "the most wicked man on earth". Aleister Crowley stated: "I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff."[1]
Aleister Crowley was a satanist, occultist, bisexual, and was also described as "The Wickedest Man In the World.".[2] Crowley also had very sexist views merely finding women "tolerable" when they contributed to a man's work, but (according to Crowley) they had no hope of understanding the work (as they were less intelligent then men, according to him[3]).[4] It should however be noted that Crowley was very pro-life, believing abortion to be murder and he also believing that a woman would never really want to end a pregnancy.[5]
