The name you forgot is Thelema. And you're right, Aleister Crowley was a Satanist, in the sense that he believed himself to be the Great Beast of Revelation, who would give birth to the Antichrist. But most people in Hollywood don't have the foggiest idea of what he believed or taught. To them he's just "that bald guy who was on the Sgt Peppers album by the Beatles." At most they are going to come out with "Do what thou wilt" without actually knowing what it means.
