'''Francis Israel Regardie''' (/rɪˈɡɑːrdi/; né Regardie; November 17, 1907 – March 10, 1985) was an English [[occultist]], ceremonial [[magician]], and writer who spent much of his life in the United States. He wrote fifteen books on the subject of the [[occult]].

==Biography==
Born to a working-class Orthodox Jewish family in the East End of London, Regardie and his family soon moved to Washington, D.C. in the United States. Regardie rejected Orthodox [[Judaism]] during his teenage years and took an interest in Theosophy, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jewish mysticism.

It was through his interest in yoga that he encountered the writings of the occultist [[Aleister Crowley]]. Contacting Crowley, he was invited to serve as the occultist's secretary, necessitating a move to Paris, France in 1928. He followed Crowley to England before their association ended.

==Personal life==
Over the course of his life, Regardie married and divorced three times; he had no children.

Regardie suffered from asthma, sometimes known as "the occultist's disease" within the [[occult]] community. Suster noted that, in old age at least, Regardie had "a most delightful sense of humour". He was a fan of boxing; it was one of the few things he would watch on television. He enjoyed cannabis and, in later life, used [[LSD]] around once a year.
