Aleister Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, philosopher, political theorist, novelist, mountaineer, and painter. 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. Most know of him from his occult celebrity built on the premise, "Do What Thou Will Is The Whole of The Law" but what about his other "secret" life as an agent for the British government? Join Joel as he unravels part 1 of Agent Crowley's mark on MK-Ultra as he explores Aleister's fascination with the Divine Cactus, or peyote. Crowley's experimentation with the plant in achieving Samadhi, or “Union with God”, to connect with his Holy Guardian Angel to receive guidance. Early experiments from men like Charles Henry Allan Bennett, John Raleigh Briggs, George S. Davis, James Mooney, Dr. Silas Weir Mitchell and member of the Golden Dawn, William Butler Yeats all set the tone for the hidden trials the Great Beast would embark on. Lastly, Joel looks at Crowley's mescaline parties he performed in the United States and his use of the drug to bring him closer to what he believed were the Secret Chiefs.

Hello and Happy Christmas in July! In today's episode I read you a charming Christmas story called "Mr. Kris Kringle". In this classic story, it's Christmas Eve, and two children and their single mother are facing having to leave their home soon and move to the city. They are also poor so Kris Kringle - aka Santa Claus - won't be able to visit them this year. After the kids go to bed for the night, they hear a noise outside. What - or who? - could it be? Kris Kringle? A Robber? What happens next is a beautiful story of miracles and redemption.

The next installment in our Halloween fright fest comes from the guy who brought us classics like “the rest cure” and a book called Fat and Blood: It's Silas Weir Mitchell's 1866 short story “The Case of George Dedlow.” The noted Philadelphia physician gave us this fine tale of a Civil War doctor(ish) who loses all of his limbs in a series of events so unfortunate you won't believe people thought it was a true story. And you extra won't believe that once you hear about the ending. We chat about epistemology, the mind/body connection, nineteenth-century medicine, photography, the genre of the case, and which one of the Real Housewives is most Christ-like. We read the version from the 1900 publication The Autobiography of a Quack and the Case of George Dedlow. Go to the Mütter Museum. We recommend checking out Learning from the Wounded: The Civil War and the Rise of American Medical Science (2017) by Shauna Devine for further reading.

This is the audiobook version of The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, read by Michelle Sullivan. The only difference is that I cleaned up the recording (removed the narratorial introductions, reduced silences, etc.) slightly. You can get an ebook version for free (or whatever price you're comfortable with) here: https://librecron.com/product/the-yellow-wallpaper-by-charlotte-perkins-gilman When The Yellow Wallpaper (original title: The Yellow Wall-Paper: A Story) was first published in 1892, women still couldn’t vote in the United States. No, that would come decades later in 1920 with the passage of the 19th Amendment. Women’s suffrage has been a centuries long process, really picking up speed in the late 19th century. It was around this time that Charlotte Perkins Gilman penned what would be considered one of her most influential works, and one of the most important works of early American feminist literature. The Yellow Wallpaper is told in the first person and is centered around an unnamed woman. Her husband has rented a mansion for a summer and they take the old nursery room which is covered in yellow wallpaper. John, her husband, is a physician and prescribes her bed rest to try and cure her “temporary nervous depression” – a common diagnosis for women at the time. Whether or not the narrator actually suffers from it, it was used to explain a multitude of problems that a woman at the time might’ve been experiencing. The treatment – bed rest – has long been prescribed as a treatment for any number of illnesses, but has not been medically proven to be beneficial to any of them; if anything, it might actually worsen a patients condition. Gilman suffered her narrators woes herself. She suffered from years of depression and her doctor, Silas Weir Mitchell, prescribed her the treatment he had pioneered – the rest cure. Gilman was required to do nothing except rest – meaning she also could not write. She lasted 3 months on the treatment before nearly suffering a mental breakdown. It was after that that she wrote The Yellow Wallpaper. Upon its release, the short story was published in the January 1892 New England Magazine after being rejected by Horace Scudder at the Atlantic Monthly. He, and others, rejected it for essentially being to horrifying – an odd complaint considering that Americans welcomed horror authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and others that wrote about insanity and mental instability. It wasn’t until the 60s and the rise and progress of second-wave feminism that it (and works by other female authors) was rediscovered and surged in popularity. Since then, it has been a mainstay in anthologies and collections. When The Yellow Wallpaper first came out, it was treated as a horror story. Even now, it’s a difficult question to answer: is it more horrifying as a work of fiction where the narrator loses her mind, or as an autobiographical short story where the author almost lost her mind? You can watch a short film adaptation of the story here. To read similar short stories, The Treasury of the Fantastic is a great starting point. To read more of Gilman’s works, this Oxford World’s Classic anthology is a great starting point. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/librecron/support

GRIMM Episode 604 “El Cuegle†Written by Brenna Kouf Directed by Carlos Avila You know that comfy pair of jeans that is worn and comfortable? That's how I feel about this episode. It reminds me of former episodes. Not back to the time when Monroe (Silas Weir Mitchell) had more of his interesting characteristics. But far enough in the past that it feels familiar. Renard (Sasha Roiz) not only saw and talked to Meisner, he put his hand on him and it didn't go through. That made me start to wonder if Meisner was somehow there. I started trying to figure out if he could have survived and was sneaking in and out of Renard's home. However, it seems that Meisner is just a very powerful figment of Renard's imagination. GRIMM brought up an interesting moral dilemma. Unfortunately both the audience and our leads don't have enough information until the end of the episode.
It's true, GRIMM is finally back. I hope it's worth the wait for all of us. Grimm got renewed for 13 episodes and that will be the end of the line for the show. I suppose because it's only a half season they started the season in January instead of the show's customary October start. I've spent so much time following this show I'm really hoping for a great end to the story. As GRIMM always does, the season started right where it left off last spring. This episode was all about getting people from one place to another. It was rather like a human nut shell game. You've seen the game, a small object often a little ball is under one of three nut shells, someone with slick moves and fast hands tries to hide which nut shell holds the little object. In this game it's a matter of hiding dead bodies, hiding Nick (David Giuntoli) and everyone else on his side pretending not to hide him under a nut shell. There's no point in starting new storylines that they won't have time to tell. At this point everything that comes up needs to be important to bringing this story to a close. Or, that's my hope. It drove me nuts that many story ideas were started and never completed. I mean, sure life is like that, but this is TV not real life.
Episode 520, "Bad Night"Written by Sean CalderDirected by Norberto BarbaHold onto your TV trays! We expect the last two episodes to be intense. This episode's purpose is to set up the double episode finale. You know, when TV executives decide to air episodes back-to-back, that leaves us thinking, "It's gonna be a late night."This week Hank IS the police case. Wrap your brain around that. Really, this has never happened. It's not a Wesen of the week police case. Remember when Adalind broke all of Tony's fingers? Well, he's back. And chances are, he'll be back for more. I mean, he's not dead yet.The episode was a tight weave of storylines. The title "Bad Night" well applies in this hour. Almost everyone has their own version of a bad night. Hank is having a good time with Zuri, only to learn that she's connected to Black Claw. Nick is distraught over losing Adalind and his son. And Monrosalee get their night interrupted when Nick shows up for a trip to Hadrian's Wall with Trubel, who's maybe not having a bad night.And are we seeing a few chinks in Eve's armor? A little humanity starting to spill out?
