answer: many pagans believe there were flashes of genius but not many and those aren’t worth weeding through his overblown, egotistical writings. Some ceremonial magicians or sorcerers, on the other hand, believe he was a genius that, unfortunately, fell to madness at the end.
Well he did have some very brilliant moments and design in high magic and in alchemy. His tarot cards are impressive, and the people I know who read them say they are pretty intense. He was also an egotistical (who has a contest for people who follow him to write an essay on his greatness after all?) drug addict. He tapped into some pretty insane things — have you read The Book of the Law? He certainly had his moments!
I’m with everyone else, depends on the person who reads his works and how they perceive him. Most people I know just “grow out of” their fascination with Crowley.
