He Was Not a Member of the Order of the Seven Sisters


 74 Years Ago Today

Monday 1st of December 1947
Occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, painter and mountaineer Aleister Edward Alexander Crowley aka The Great Beast dies of chronic bronchitis aggravated by pleurisy and myocardial degeneration at the age of 72 in Netherwood boarding house, The Ridge, Hastings, Sussex, United Kingdom.
He is survived by wife of Mervyn and sons of George Frederick Frederick of Kent, Henry Frederick of Warwick and Mary Ellen Ann Frederick of Harstam, England; first wife of C.S.P.C. and sister of C.S.P.A. of New Orleans. Their three eldest children: A.F.; a.d.; W; and a.o.l.; died before age 30. The funeral house is also the oldest of its kind in the United Kingdom.
Eagle-haired, bearded and pale-haired, he looks very young, but has a fairly well-developed sense of himself. (From the Bible)
He was not a member of the Order of the Seven Sisters, even though he held some rank in the Order.
He was in his late teens when the incident began, and he was in a private group at a pub. (I believe these events were recorded.)
Elder Alexander Crowley and his sister (Margaret Evelyn of the Sisters) were both married around this time, as were his grandfather Aleister.
