''The Confessions of Aleister Crowley : An Autohagiography'', by Aleister Crowley (1875–1947), is a partial autobiography by poet and occultist Crowley. It covers the early years of his life up until the mid-late 1920s but does not include the latter part of Crowley's life and career between then and his death in 1947. Crowley had originally intended that the work would be published in six volumes, but only two of these had been published before the Great Depression and various internal disputes led to the demise of the publishers. The project languished uncompleted throughout Crowley's lifetime, and it was not until 1969 that the Confessions were issued in a single volume edition, edited by John Symonds and Kenneth Grant. Whilst the single volume edition includes much of the text of the first two volumes (and of course that of the latter four) it is nonetheless an abridgement. These original volumes include a considerable amount of text, and many photographs – particularly pertaining to Crowley's travels and mountaineering exploits – that were not reproduced in the later single volume. The Ordo Templi Orientis will issue a new unabridged version of ''Confessions'' which will contain a great many previously unseen photographs and some new research. It will be issued in separate volumes set out and laid out to match the 1929 Mandrake press first edition typographically, and will use a binding and paper of similar quality. The new edition will incorporate much of the research done on Crowley in recent years by such scholars as Richard Spence, Richard Kaczynski and Tobias Churton for their Crowley biographies.
