Well Crowley was a RHP practitioner. His use of LHP imagery had no real place in his magical curriculum, aside from the "shock value" he derived from calling himself the Beast 666.

The association with 666 and the Christian antichrist really has more to do Hollywood than any actual black magical practices.
