Crowley
People who don't actually sit down and study the works of Crowley believe his society was somehow "Satanic" the entire esoteric society Crowley created was based on the Christian Kabala.  That includes an extra letter into the fourfold name of YHVH that of Shin to spell Jesus's name in the original Hebrew. The fact Crowley called himself the "Beast 666" was because that is what his Puritan mother called him when he was being a brat when he was a child. Crowley spent most of his life trying to shock people for attention and most of his strange behaviour was due to being on all kinds of drugs.  Crowley praised the RHP and condemned the LHP. He believed in his "holy guardian Angel".
Crowley didn't say anything as a mantra to live by except the standard liberal mantra of the times. And the "Demon Aiwass" was actually nothing more then a Sufi friend he had who he referred to in supernatural terms more then once. Crowley liked to mix bullshit in with truth as a way to troll people. The truth about Aiwass is well known in Crowley's circles.
Crowley's talk about sacrifice was nothing more then him talking about jacking off till climax onto the altar. The offering of one's semen. That is Crowley he liked to troll people to shock them and piss them off. He was a bullshiter.  He was obsessed with sex magic.
The way some of these claimed "Truthers" go on and on about Crowley they prescribe to him as status and influence he never had. Crowley died in a homeless shelter addicted to drugs and in and out of courts for violation of obscenity laws. He had no political or social power. He was a drugged out troll who spent his  life Trying to rebel against his overbearing mother.
Anyone presenting Crowley as a Satanist or some deep occult master or leader is simply showing their own lack of knowledge and stupidity, seriously its that obvious.

Finally, the enlightened truth said about Crowley! My hat is off to you, mageson6666! The worship of various writers in that genre and related genres is tiring and tedious and sometimes just plain weird.

The same was true in the so-called wiccan genres with a writer considered an "herbal magic god," Scott Cunningham. He roomed with the yet-to-be ceremonial magick author, Donald Michael Kraig in an old second floor apartment at the corner of Orange and Fairmount in San Diego in the eighties. (They were not a couple, incidentally, but friends.) He was breathlessly worshipped by consumers of his books for being an authority, particularly after his death, whereupon he achieved his greatest literary output! Posthumous books (reorganized, rewritten, co-written, and seemingly entirely new books) poured out of Llewellyn publishers after that...a "ghost writer" for sure (lol). He was barely known during his lifetime, achieving worldwide fame only after his death when his books were aggressively promoted. In reality, he could barely keep a scrawny lavender plant alive on the sunburnt, but north-facing concrete porch and stairs outside their front door.

His output was prodigious, though. He was the first victim I knew that died from AIDS related cryptococcal meningitis (1993). He had beaten an earlier diagnosis of lymphoma. It seemed like he was always sick at home, banging away on that IBM selectric typewriter. He was a nice guy and I remember many hours of entertaining conversation in the livingroom. He was able to stay at home and write because he was receiving a very small amount of money from the gay-themed novels and Westerns he wrote under the penname of Nancy Cunningham, as I remember it (I don't see those books anywhere today). It was how he got his start as a writer. Anyway it was a long time ago... it was just weird from my perspective to see him become so famous and fervently worshipped after his death and achieve a god-like status that he never enjoyed in life.
