When someone digs too deep in the occult it gets lost in daydreaming, fantasy, and detaches from reality. Have to keep your feet on the ground and get grounded, look at the pit and the pit looks back to you. So basically the marseille tarot got compromised by Crowley and now its kinda useless. Anyway, oracles, divination, magic, everything has a price. Not selling my soul for anything be it power, money, fame, anything.
Crowley was saying that occultists had been using a 'useless' version of tarot and his corrected it. He was rewarded in reputation and reput and given title within occult circles as a result, due to the insight. He wasn't wrong. 16 and 17 had been switched. The conversation can be raised to principles and Crowley dropped from the conversation once this is understood and knowledge is no longer feared or hated.
Detachment from reality does ruin everything, agreed.
Back in that time there was no internet. So yeah, he got insane, from demons or the devil himself, idk, but his works were bad, and it influenced lots of books and movies.
