Key Points:

Claimed to be the prophet of a new Aeon (the Aeon of Horus), with Thelema as its spiritual law.
Emphasized personal spiritual development and breaking social/moral constraints.
Considered both a mystic and a hedonist, but was genuinely pursuing spiritual enlightenment.
Seen as a genuine occultist, often cryptic, symbol-rich, and difficult to interpret.
Called “The Great Beast 666,” though largely as an ironic jab at Christian values.
