Infamous for scandalising society on both sides of the Atlantic, Alisteir Crowley (1875-1947) was a brilliant man whose position as the major intellectual figure on the occult has often been eclipsed by his own notoriety. Portable Darkness is the first book to tackle the formidable task of collecting the best of his voluminous lifework. In bringing together Crowley’s best writings, editor Scott Michaelsen makes Crowleyan philosophy both accessible and intelligible. Includes The Book of the Law, Hymn to Pan and many other classic works.
