“It’s nice to be a devil when you’re one like me.”
Leila also played violin for Crowley's "Rites of Eleusis" in 1910.
The names of the seven Rites are The Rite of "Saturn", "Jupiter", "Mars", "Sol", "Venus", "Mercury" and "Luna". Crowley claimed that the Rites were designed to inspire the audience with 'religious ecstasy', and that merely reading them would help people "cultivate their highest faculties". Some in the popular press thought otherwise, and considered the Rites an immoral display, riddled with 'blasphemy and erotic suggestion.'

Aleister Crowley
"Adding to his scandals, at one point Crowley tried to make money selling 'Elixir of Life Pills' that were supposed to enhance virility. Those who took them probably never realized they were composed of a 'neutral base combined with Crowley's own semen.'"
