Similarly L Ron Hubbard took a lot of ideas from Crowley's OTO and Thelema and repacked it as Scientology. Not really that different. If you have good enough marketing abilities, or are willing to be pathologically unscrupulous and violent towards any opposition, then you too can attract hoards of gullible people into your totally made up cult du jour. It certainly worked for Christininanity 2,000 years ago.
