As Ive mentioned The Marquis de Sade I thought it only right to mention Aleister Crowley . In his day he was dubbed the "wickedest man in the world" for his role in the occult. After abandoning Christianity while studying at Cambridge , he began studying occultism and mysticism . He was to join the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn , becoming a practitioner of black arts and sex magic. His writings and poetry brought the occult in to the mainstream society.Perhaps the biggest taboo he broke was to popularise an anti- moralistic , anti - Christian approach to life . My only question would be ? would he be viewed so outrageous in modern society.
