Tobias Churton | Crowley In America: Art, Espionage & Sex Magic
Crowley and Carl Jung, Magic as Enlightened Psychology
Aleister Crowley was an early adopter of Carl Jung's theories, reading "Psychology of the Unconscious" in 1916 and linking the concept of individuation to the magical "Holy Guardian Angel." Churton explains that Crowley viewed magic as a form of enlightened psychology that utilized sexuality and imagination as tools for creative reality. This perspective predated modern psychological acceptance of the unconscious and the formative power of sexual energy.
