Ozzy Osbourne - Mister Crowley ( Lyrics )

The song was inspired by a book about Aleister Crowley which Osbourne had read and a deck of tarot cards that were found in the studio as the recording of the album was commencing. Crowley was an English occultist and ceremonial magician who had founded the Thelemite religion in the early 20th century. Aleister Crowley was an infamous poet, writer, mountain climber, and Adept. Also known as the Master Therion and the Great Beast 666, he is widely considered to be the most influential Occultist of all time, he gained widespread notoriety during his lifetime, and was denounced in the popular press of the day as “the wickedest man in the world.“
