Professional violinist, muse to the infamous Aleister Crowley.
Though Leila Waddell has become an iconic figure in twentieth century occultism as one of Crowley's Scarlet Women, precise details of her life are mostly obscure. Covering her early years in Australia to her career as an international touring musician, her role as paramour and inspiration to the wickedest man in the world, her return to home shores and tragic early death, Laylah: The Life of Leila Waddell is the first and only biography of her to be published.
