The '''[[Flag of Westarctica]]''' has gone through many changes since the nation first declared itself a sovereign territory. Although the original flag of the [[Achaean Territory of Antarctica|Achaean Territory]] was generally considered to be an eyesore, subsequent flags were designed to be more aesthetically pleasing while also encompassing the values of [[Westarctica]]. There have been five flags representing Westarctica since the nation was first founded. Only two of these flags have ever actually flown on a flagpole.
'''[[Aleister Crowley]]''', born '''Edward Alexander Crowley''' was an English [[occultist]], [[ceremonial magic]]ian, poet, painter, novelist, and mountaineer. He founded the religion of [[Thelema]], identifying himself as the prophet entrusted with guiding humanity into the Æon of Horus in the early 20th century.


The specific tincture of blue is called "Westarctica Blue" and is considered a protected official color of Westarctica.
A prolific writer, he published widely over the course of his life.


In 2016, the Grand Duke filed a copyright claim with the U.S. Copyright Office attempting to get the new flag design and color copyrighted, however his claim was denied due to their opinion that the design did not contain enough creative merit to qualify as a copyrightable work.
Crowley gained widespread notoriety during his lifetime, being a [[recreational drug]] user, bisexual, and an individualist social critic. Crowley has remained a highly influential figure over Western esotericism and the counterculture and continues to be considered a prophet in Thelema. He is the subject of various biographies and academic studies.
