Crowley himself addresses this in the Stratagem.
the tl;dr is
>Irish occultist dude tells rando on train about the time he escaped from a penal colony island
>tells how he meets another prisoner there who he believes to be a famed high level occultist due to signals he supposedly gives him

>occultist dude thinks prisoner dude is communicating through references to zodiac info, ancient Egyptian calenders, Greek philosophers and mathematics, Kabbalah shit etc
>at the last second before the planned escape, the prisoner guy falls down dead
>turns out he wasn't an initiated master of the dark arts but was just a delusional epileptic idiot with heatstroke whose brain finally completely broke
>occultist dude realizes that everything they had been planning for the last few months was just the nonsense of an insane hobo
