query: What was Aleister Crowley's opinion on magic and yoga?
answer: Crowley viewed magic as a powerful tool, initially focusing on white magic under Bennett's tutelage, but later embracing a more hedonistic and less restrictive approach.  He saw yoga as a path to spiritual insight, engaging with it during his time with Bennett in Ceylon and considering himself a Buddhist for many years.
