The title "The Wickedest Man on Earth" was coined by British papers during the early-mid 1900's. And it was a reputation Crowley definitely encouraged (he was a bit of a publicity hound).
While I think its safe to say that, in reality, Crowley wasn't REALLY "wicked" per say, he definitely did a lot that shocked people and some might find offensive/immoral:
- He was a practicing magician and had reported on at least a couple of counts successfully summoning demons
- He called himself "Io Mega Therion" (The Great Beast), referring to the great beast mentioned in the biblical book of Revelation
- He also called himself "666", a number associated with the antichrist, but which actually has older roots in solar numerology
- He was a drug user and quite possibly an addict
- He was bisexual
- He actively spoke out against Christianity
- He encouraged masturbation
And much, much more. Read a couple of the dozens (if not hundreds) of biographies on the man and you'll get a taste for who he was. But be careful... a lot of people demonize him and a lot of people idolize him. Both groups have a tendency to grossly distort the facts.
