Amado Crowley (1930–2010) was an English occult writer and magician who claimed to be the secret illegitimate son of occultist and mystic Aleister Crowley. During a period of over thirty years, from the early 1970s through 2000s, he published and self-published many books and recordings.〔Evans (2007), pp. 230-231〕 ==Biographical details== Amado Crowley initially announced himself to the occult world via his adopted name, Amado Crowley, in 1971, when he was past the age of forty, through a statement sent to the publishers of the encyclopedia on the subject, ''Man, Myth & Magic''.〔Evans (2007), p. 240〕 However it would later be inferred from his 1991 book, ''The Secrets of Aleister Crowley'', that his name was registered at birth as Andrew Standish.〔 Like Aleister Crowley, Amado used and taught a syncretic mix of Western magical techniques along with Eastern methods including meditation and yoga. However, he maintained that the cornerstone of Aleister's religion of Thelema, ''The Book of the Law'', was a fraud and that ''The Book of Desolation'', a purported text given to him by Aleister, which has remained unpublished, is the only true Crowleyan holy writ.〔Evans (2007), p. 232〕 Crowley's biographers have found no documentary evidence regarding Amado's claim of descent from Aleister Crowley, and the claim is universally dismissed as bogus by Crowley scholars.
