Crowley’s children

As a long-time member of LAShTAL – The Aleister Crowley Society and the Aleister Crowley Club (A.C.C.) Facebook group, I was fascinated to read the article about Crowley’s children [ FT414:32-37]. I was raised by my mother on the Gwavas Estate, Chywoone Hill, Newlyn in Cornwall, and Crowley’s and Dierdre Patricia Doherty’s son Randall Gair (Aleister Ataturk Crowley) lived in a caravan in the grounds of his mother’s Wheal Betsy House, Chywoone Hill, Newlyn, Cornwall. He was certainly a colourful character when seen on the streets of Newlyn, Penzance and Madron, and he later had sons of his own. There is an interesting article “Fragments of Ataturk” all about Randall written by artist, poet and occultist Ithel Colquhoun published in the Starfire Journal (vol.2, no.4): www.starfirepublishing.co.uk

Some folk on social media have asked me if I am related to Aleister Crowley – something that I do not claim. Giulia Eone from Italy kindly sent me her new book entitled Il Ritorno di Aleister Crowley (The Return of Aleister Crowley) which states she is the reincarnation of To Mega Therion (The Great Beast).
