“Aleister Crowley has for years been reviled by the public media as ‘The Most Evil Man in the World.’ And he has for years been hailed by a small handful of scholars as the greatest of modern mystics, the ‘Prophet of a New Aeon.’ Now, The Eye in the Triangle appears to clear up some aspects of the dual mystery.

In this book Israel Regardie examines the life and work of Aleister Crowley from a sympathetically objective point of view. Many of Crowley’s loveliest and holiest works are quoted from sources long out of print. The Eye in the Triangle is essential to an understanding not only of Crowley but of all modern magic and occultism.” — from the book’s dust wrapper.
