Illustrated Beast by Sandy Robertson
Who was Aleister Crowley? Magus, poet, sexual athlete, mountaineer, traitor, drug fiend, and Prophet of a New Aeon he has been described as all these things. Dubbed The Wickedest Man in the World by the British press, Crowley and his story have captured the imagination of occultists, rock stars including The Rolling Stones and The Beatles, who included his portrait on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band free spirits, and science fiction aficionados for decades. Compiled from Sandy Robertson's extensive personal collection of Crowleyana, The Illustrated Beast includes a short biography, blackandwhite photographs of Crowley and his contemporaries, excerpts from his writings, and commentary on the Wanderer of the Waste. From his paradoxical childhood to his stormy involvement with The Golden Dawn, from his adventurous travels and published works to his controversial Italian Abbey and lifelong heroin addiction, this scrapbook offers readers a glimpse of the man, his works, and his lasting impact on the occult.
Robertson, Sandy: - Sandy Robertson is a lifetime teacher and school principal, who devoted her career to students and families at risk and with special needs; she frequently dealt with the many frustrating challenges of children in troubled homes. This story tells of a life never fully reached. Today, stories abound of a system that is supposed to protect children and keep them safe, both through schools and agencies. This is one to tell. Sandy, now retired, continues to marvel at the development and creativity of children. She spends her days teaching playgroups, reading aloud almost constantly, making games and sensory boxes and enjoying children. She and her husband Tom share a busy family home in Frankfort, Illinois, where they raised two wonderful daughters and are now blessed with three grandchildren who are the lights of their lives.
