View source for Henrik Bogdan's intro to "Aleister Crowley and Western Esotericism

Alister Crowley 

his cosmic purpose: to proclaim

Absoloute liberty of the individual. to self actualize with out regard for normal cultural, moral, and religious codes 

Drawn from western European Magical traditions, Crowley focused on the power of sexuality as a magical discipline. 
sexual magic: a simple and direct method of achieving the telesmatic
ends of the curator without the material trappings of ceremonial magic 

*a charismatic revelator 

secret chiefs: seems contradictory to have these symbolic figure heads
"Some followers[who?] of the Golden Dawn tradition believe that the Secret Chiefs were not human or supernatural beings but, rather, symbolic representations of actual or legendary sources of spiritual esotericism. The term came to stand for a great leader or teacher of a spiritual path or practice that found its way into the teachings of the Order.[15]"

his contribution to western esotericism :
was his attempt to legitimate his essentially religious approach to reality though philopshl and empirical skepticism 

perphonical mysticist 
zorasatist
skeptical energy
scientifiic illuminist 
or what you will
for in short it is 
a conscious communion with god from the part of an atheist 

a transcending of reason by skeptissit of the instrument and the limitation of skeptisist by direct consciousness by the absoloute 

mainstream religiion has failed to answer their own questions because of their inherent methodological limitations

“the method of science the aim of religion, magic as the third way”
