The Islamic Sufi Influence On Aleister Crowley & Thelema

By Salman S. Sheikh

Unveiling a little-explored dimension of one of the most controversial mystics of the 20th century, The Islamic Sufi Influence On Aleister Crowley presents a groundbreaking examination of Crowley's interactions with Sufi thought and esoteric Islam. This scholarly yet accessible work investigates the subtle currents of Sufi metaphysics, symbolism, and initiatory pathways within Crowley's Thelemic system. Drawing upon primary sources, historical correspondence, and Sufi doctrine, the book reveals how figures like Ibn Arabi and the concept of spiritual hierarchy influenced Crowley's spiritual trajectory. Whether you're a student of the occult, Sufism, or comparative mysticism, this book offers a revelatory synthesis that challenges conventional interpretations of Crowley's legacy.
