Wasn Aleister a friend of Rasputin?
Indeed, but Rasputin was more his magical twin and not his male lover. You have to remember that Rasputin too had a tremendous reputation for being a lady-killer. He too was married, and fathered several children. As a matter of fact, one of his daughters wrote a biography of him! Aleister Crowley met Rasputin only a few times. To the best of my knowledge this was just twice in St. Petersburg, and once at Mount Athos, in Greece.
