Guénon mentions Crowley in his letters to Evola

>To come back to Aleister Crowley, what you told me reminds me of the story that turned up in 1931 (I believe at least that was the exact date): while he was in Portugal, he suddenly disappeared. They found his clothes on the border of the sea, something that made them believe he had drowned. But it was only a simulated death, since they were no longer concerned about him and did not try to find out where he had gone. Actually, he went to Berlin to play the role of secret adviser to Hitler who was then at his beginning.
>A little later, Crowley founded the Saturn-Lodge in Germany; have you ever heard of it? There he called himself Master Therion, and his signature was to mega Therion (the Great Beast), something that in Greek gives exactly the numeric value 666.

Guénon repeats the tale that Crowley was a secret advisor to Hitler. Even though Crowley had no relationship with Adolf Hitler.

Crowley's ex disciple and member of his magical organization, J.F.C Fuller knew Hitler/met Hitler in personal life, but Crowley had expelled Fuller from his magical organization at that point. Crowley's secretary, Karl Germer, ended up in concentration camp for being "associate of the high-ranking freemason Aleister Crowley"

The monkeying around episode which Crowley tells in a letter: "Monsieur la Guenon's monkeying around amuses me" refers to the magazine Guénon used to write.

There was a strife between continental masonry and other forms of masonry: Guénon simply argued, that Crowley's claim to the 33rd degree was not "authentic" and he would not be recognized as such on the continent. To which Crowley in turn replied "Monsieur la Guénon's monkeying around amuses me"

Crowley did claim 33rd degree, which is the highest rank in the Scottish rite.
