Podcasts about Thelema

In this episode of The Creativity and Consciousness Podcast, I spoke with James aka Entelecheia, and we spoke about the realization of potential, through the lens of Thelema and the path of True Will. Drawing from esoteric philosophy, magick, and self-actualization, we discuss what it truly means to align with your deepest purpose. Is True Will simply a matter of preference, or does it demand a deeper surrender to transformation? Join us as we unravel the process of destruction, initiation, and self-discovery on the road to embodying your highest potential.Check out more of Enteleheia's work here: http://lapis-mercurii.org/ And his youtube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@Entelecheia

Jack is joined by friend of the show, Wolf Fleetwood, for an in-depth journey into the wild and legendary life of Aleister Crowley—an English occultist, ceremonial magician, poet, novelist, painter, and mountaineer. This is the first installment of a multi-part series available exclusively on our Patreon. Aleister Crowley was an enigmatic and controversial figure, often shrouded in myth and mystery. Known as "The Great Beast 666" and dubbed "The Wickedest Man in the World" by the press, Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, and writer who dedicated his life to exploring the boundaries of the unknown. He claimed to have been contacted by a supernatural entity named Aiwass in 1904, who dictated The Book of the Law to him in Cairo, Egypt. This text became the cornerstone of Thelema, Crowley's spiritual philosophy, which proclaimed, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law," emphasizing individual will and spiritual liberation. Crowley was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, but his unorthodox methods and rebellious nature led him to establish his own esoteric orders, including the A∴A∴ and the Ordo Templi Orientis (OTO). His rituals often involved elaborate symbolism, sex magic, and invocations of ancient deities, blending Eastern mysticism, Western esotericism, and his own unique vision. Crowley's life was a tapestry of scandal, excess, and intrigue—he was a mountaineer, poet, and spy, rumored to have worked for British intelligence during World War I. His legacy is a paradox: revered by some as a visionary and prophet, yet reviled by others as a charlatan or even a harbinger of darkness. To this day, Crowley remains an enigmatic figure, his influence echoing through occult circles, art, music, and popular culture, leaving many to wonder whether he was a misunderstood genius or a man who truly tapped into forces beyond human understanding. Part 2 is out now and Part 3 is coming later this week. Listen to those and the rest of the series by signing up for the Otherworld Patreon.

Ayesha Adamo is an academic, performing artist, and filmmaker currently working towards a PhD in Religion at Rice University under Jeffrey J. Kripal. Her dissertation project explores fluid cosmological ideas, both historically and in current quantum mechanics. She holds an MA in Religious Studies from Universiteit van Amsterdam's Centre for the History of Hermetic Philosophy & Related Currents and is a graduate of Barnard College, Columbia University, with a degree in music. Rumor has it she was once in an Asian pop band on EMI Records. Her most recent articles can be found in Anthropology of Consciousness and Religious Studies Review. She is also an ordained Hierophant and Grand Chief of Temple of Thelema.In this discussion, we first look at Georges Bataille and his interpretation of the Acéphale. Bataille (1897-1962) was a philosopher and intellectual, interested in surrealism, and anti- fascist, who, in 1937 founded two groups with the goal of exploring how combinations of power and ‘the sacred' were at play in society. The first group was called the College of Sociology that gave lectures (exoteric group); the second group was Acéphale, an esoteric ‘secret society.' Additionally, a public review by the same name, whose emblem was a headless man, was published in 1936. Ayesha talks a bit about this Acéphale emblem and what this represents, including remarks about the connections to Aleister Crowley's concept of The Abyss; the notion of receptivity, and the difference between the ‘magical' and ‘mystical' currents. Moving from Bataille to George Balanchine, the famous choreographer who co-founded the New York City Ballet Company in 1948; Balanchine is probably most known for his plotless ballets and minimalism, and has a famous quote, “Don't think Dear, just do!' Ayesha shares how are she is linking these two figures and the concept of the Acéphale. She is currently thinking about how the meditative state is the artist's state as well.Ayesha then expands on her 2023 article, “The League of Endarkenment: Hakim Bey and the Way of Disappearance into Nature” talking about “Endarkenment” and how this fits into this same area of headlessness, the mandrake, and disappearance.Lastly, taken from her paper abstract, Ayesha talks more about what she means by “the open fluidity of no-mind”  and “the performance of headless meditation.”*Note 1: I mistakenly say ‘Endarkment' instead of ‘Endarkenment' (my apologies!); plus, around the 29:00 minute mark, the name ‘D.T. Suzuki' is unfortunately cut off due to audio issues. Please find more information about Suzuki in the program notes below.*Note 2 (Not Ignoring the Elephant in the Room): Peter Lamborn Wilson, who wrote under the name ‘Hakim Bey,' was a controversial figure, and unfortunately, rumors have arisen surrounding some of his writings regarding NAMBLA. Accusations were made by a particular website (run by one person, a fellow anarchist) against Wilson, and due to the nature of the internet, damaging assumptions were made. This article A Tribute to Peter Lamborn Wilson - The Brooklyn Rail is a collection of testimonials, and discusses this matter in more detail, giving much needed context.PROGRAM NOTES:Ayesha Adamo | Student | The People of Rice | Rice UniversityAyesha Adamo | Rice University - Academia.eduInstagramAyesha Adamohttps://www.hds.harvard.edu/faculty-research/programs-and-centers/program-evolution-spirituality#:~:text=The%20Program%20for%20the%20Evolution%20of%20Spirituality%20%28PES%29,also%20prepares%20students%20for%20ministry%20in%20these%20mov (More information forthcoming regarding this program and how to join remotely!)It Takes a Lunatic | Officiële Netflix-websiteORGCHAOSMIK - GUSTAF BROMSD.

 In this Thelema NOW episode, Harper interviews Joseph Peterson, about "Mysteriorum Libri Quinque: Dr. John Dee's Five Books of Mysteries." This book from the 16th century, remains to this day one of the most important core texts of occult literature and a comprehensive guide to Enochian magic, encompassing language, symbolism, rituals, and practical techniques. This deluxe Weiser Ankh edition is a compilation of John Dee's secret spiritual treatises and was prepared from the original manuscript (preserved in the British Library) in Dee's own handwriting. These secret writings were discovered long after John Dee's death (c. 1609); they had been tucked away in a hidden compartment of an old wooden chest and were remarkably spared from destruction—uncovered only a few years before the Great Fire of London in 1666. In these five secret treatises, John Dee, one of the most renowned scholars of the Elizabethan era, records in minute detail his research into the occult. Joseph discusses working with damaged manuscripts, Dee's Biblical references, and Divine Revelation. They also mention Esoeric Archives, which you can access here. Check it out!

In December of 2024 e.v. I gave the first of a series of talks on the Thelemic philosophy. I focused on some of the core concepts and practices I feel are worth having in the forefront of the mind while engaging with Thelemic materials, including Crowley's thoughts on channeling ‘genius,' the skeptical approach, and discipline in mystical and Magical Practices.

The real culture war isn't new—it began in the 1880s. Are you choosing liberation or obedience?--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/In this episode, Charlie and Brian explore a deep-rooted cultural and spiritual transformation that began in the late 19th century, focusing on figures like Aleister Crowley, Gerald Gardner, and Ross Nichols. These esoteric thinkers and spiritual leaders challenged traditional, hierarchical, and ascetic religious models by promoting personal liberation, initiatory experiences, and direct participation in spiritual mysteries. Their work helped shape the modern Pagan, Druid, and magical movements, breaking away from rigid structures of control.Charlie argues that we are in the midst of the real culture war, which isn't about religion versus secularism but rather freedom and self-discovery versus obedience and authoritarianism. They discuss how these shifts in philosophy, psychology, and spirituality were foundational in the rise of New Age movements, the counterculture of the 1960s, and ongoing struggles for social justice today.The conversation also covers the historical impact of the Second Axial Age (1880s–1960s), the influence of Thelema and Wicca, the rise of feminism in esoteric traditions, and the fundamentalist backlash against spiritual freedom. They encourage listeners to reflect on their own spiritual paths and advocate for liberation over dogmatic control.Charlie and Brian conclude by emphasizing the importance of resisting high-control religious and societal structures while fostering personal and collective empowerment through spiritual exploration, self-realization, and community-driven movements.Thank you for Liking and Subscribing to this podcastThank you for sharing this episode with your loved ones, friends and community--- Thank you for Tips or Donations:https://ko-fi.com/cedorsetthttps://patreon.com/cedorsett$CreationsPathsSubstack: https://www.creationspaths.com/For all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/For Educational Resource: https://wisdomscry.com Guided Meditations Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0J2QAAlD1uaIJvQ3Sr9sIqOChristopagan Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0ISXDQkZBRB7EHrUUJgXlGNThe Everything Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0Ln3eGW-tDk2R68PM6c182OCreation's Paths Podcast: http://www.creationspaths.com/podcastChurch of the Oak Podcast: http://churchoftheoak.com/Hallowstead Podcast: http://hallowstead.com/Social Connections:BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.comThreads https://www.threads.net/@creationspathsInstagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/Chapters:00:00 Introduction: The Common Thread of Crowley, Nichols, and Gardner00:57 Meet the Hosts: Charlie and Brian01:13 Who Were Crowley, Gardner, and Nichols?02:00 The Paradigm Shift in Spirituality03:20 The Second Axial Age: A New Era of Thought05:16 The Rise of Participatory Spirituality09:48 The Real Culture War: Liberation vs. Control16:14 The Influence of Crowley and the Aquarian Age19:39 Modern Implications and the Fight for Freedom31:25 Conclusion: Embracing Liberation and Community Get full access to Creation's Paths at www.creationspaths.com/subscribe

Was he a madman, a magician, or something even stranger? In this episode of Foggy Jack Live, we dive into the dark and mysterious life of Aleister Crowley—the self-proclaimed "Great Beast 666" and one of the most controversial occultists in history. Paranormal magician and mentalist Foggy Jack unpacks Crowley's influence on modern magick, secret societies, and even pop culture. From the ritual practices of Thelema to his alleged dealings with otherworldly entities, Crowley's story is filled with bizarre experiments, cryptic writings, and enough high strangeness to keep conspiracy theorists up at night. Was Crowley truly tapping into ancient, forbidden knowledge, or was he simply a provocateur pushing the boundaries of belief? And how does his legacy still influence the paranormal and occult communities today?

Jack Parsons was a pioneer of modern rocketry and a devoted occultist, bridging the gap between science and mysticism. But why were brilliant minds like Tesla, Newton, and Jung so drawn to the esoteric? What did Parsons see in Thelema, ritual magick, and Aleister Crowley that fueled his groundbreaking discoveries? And what led to his mysterious death?In this episode of The Infinite Spark of Being Podcast, we explore Parsons' relationship with L. Ron Hubbard, the Babylon Working Ritual, and why the scientific elite have long been fascinated with the unseen world.

Thelema Now's Harper Feist talks with Barry William Hale about his latest work, Arcana Arcanorum by Robert C. Stein. The book is a comprehensive exploration of Aleister Crowley's holy book, Liber Arcanorum. In Arcana Arcanorum, Robert C. Stein presents an initiate's perspective into the system as a whole. He further explores in depth the significance of each individual sigil and its corresponding name. Complementing this analysis, Barry William Hale offers a series of 22 mesmerizing drawings, each piece ingeniously merging the upright and averse spirit of each tarot card into a single, unified form. Together, the engrossing artwork and penetrating analysis uniquely honors and unveils the mysteries of the holy book.     Now available for purchase at Ingram Spark.      Barry William Hale's 231 artwork from this book, along with a number of other pieces, will be featured in an upcoming VR title "Arcanorum 231" available to wishlist on steam here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/744690/ARCANORUM_231/

In this special episode of The Skeptical Shaman podcast, host Rachel White (of TOTEM Readings) chats all things Hellier with friend of the show Angela Gore. Some of you might remember Ms. Gore from a previous episode of this very podcast-- titled "Keep the Dead Close"-- digging (pun intended) into the world of archeology, anthropology, and ancestral connection. In this episode, we deep dive into the television series Hellier-- a conversation sparked by what host Rachel White has called, "literally the funniest note" she has ever received in her time doing Spiritual Transformation Coaching work. In this note, Angela gave her blow-by-blow reactions to watching Hellier, and the team dives into these hilarious bullet points in this conversation. Hits from the note that sparked this dialogue include: "Dana should stay off of neopagan subreddits" and "On the fence about Prison Amy's sanity here", to name just a few. And, while this episode is a great pairing for anyone watching or just reflecting on having watched the first two seasons of Hellier on Amazon, literally anyone can enjoy this discussion of all things supernatural and American Gothic. We've got Kentucky green goblins, The Mothman, Green Man, Thelema, human sacrifice, and even a sentient tin can!This episode is the perfect chaser to our last two episodes featuring the Chesire Cat of Hellier himself: Mr. Allen Greenfield. Stay alert for high strangeness out there, folks-- you never know when you're going to see a totally innocent and perfectly normal shiny Happy Birthday balloon out on a nature walk;)Rachel's LINKS:Rachel's Website: https://www.totemreadings.comTOTEM Readings Substack: https://totemrach.substack.comRachel's Other Links: https://linktr.ee/totemrachThe TOTEM Flower Essence Deck: https://a.co/d/gw16LsGThe TOTEM Tarot Deck: https://www.amazon.com/TOTEM-Tarot-Deck-Rachel-White/dp/0578980126The TOTEM Flower Essences: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TotemReadingsATXTOTEM Spiritual Transformation Coaching: https://www.totemreadings.com/coachingTOTEM Business of Woo Mentoring: https://www.totemreadings.com/business-of-wooPlease note: The views and opinions expressed on The Skeptical Shaman do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of the podcast.

Secondo Elifas Levi, "la magia è un sacerdozio personale ed emancipato": ma quanto è costato riappropriarsi della libertà religiosa dopo secoli di oscurantismo?I movimenti esoterici e le scuole iniziatiche tutt'oggi esistenti affondano, direttamente o indirettamente, le proprie radici nel lungo cammino verso la libertà di culto e di pensiero.Insieme a Corinna Zaffarana, scopriremo come sono nate le esperienze esoteriche occidentali del Seicento e del Settecento, come si ponevano rispetto al potere temporale e spirituale, perché la segretezza era tanto importante.Corinna Zaffarana, laureata in Archeologia Classica e specializzata (studio delle immagini e dei simboli) presso l'Università degli studi di Pavia, è studiosa di esoterismo e storia dell'esoterismo europeo e mediterraneo.Ha pubblicato due libri relativi all'analisi filosofica del sistema magico iniziatico di Thelema, oltre a diversi titoli per Ester edizioni; è docente di storia e letteratura italiana; è autrice di moltissimi articoli editi da riviste specializzate e di divulgazione; dirige il settore culturale del Centro Studi e Ricerche C.T.A. 102 a Bellinzago (No).

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? Joel explores more of Crowley's time as a secret agent and how the Beast was a catalyst to drag the United States into World War I. He looks at Crowley's entrance into the U.S. in 1914 and the different handlers he worked for when he came to New York. He takes an even deeper dive into Crowley's time working for George Sylvester Viereck and his writings for The Fatherland, a German propaganda outlet to dissuade the U.S. from entering the war. Lastly, Joel takes a look at the ill-fated, Lusitania, and how Crowley manipulated the Germans into attacking it by orders of British Intelligence.

He was known as The Beast and The Most Evil Man on Earth. But enough about Will Wiley, who joins the boys during their Satanic Panic series to discuss the outlandish life of The Master of Thelema, Alistair Crowley.

In ‘The Book of the Heart Girt with a Serpent,' more commonly known as Liber LXV, many parables abound which are instructive of Thelemic spirituality. But in chapter V we encounter a parricidal pomp of atheists. I'll look at Crowley's commentary and see how this passage exemplifies Thelemic thought, in the first of our episodes highlighting and delving into the Holy Books of Thelema.

Dive into the enigmatic world of Aleister Crowley, the infamous occultist known as 'The Great Beast 666.'

In this Thelema NOW episode, Harper interviews Jack Grayle, well-known author of the Hekataeon, on the occasion of the release of his new book, Sigrun and the Mist. This book houses the script for a play, written in iambic pentameter, exploring what it is to be truly human through the lens of Norse mythology. When then gods stir our lives, we evolve, or a part of us dies. Jack has assembled a veritable cornucopia of talent to support this project, including historians, witches, artists, models, and photographers. This book is not to be missed!

In this week's episode of the Creativity and Consciousness Podcast, we continue our groundbreaking series, Cybernetic Séances, by summoning a digital recreation of one of the most controversial and influential occult figures of all time—Aleister Crowley. Using ChatGPT to approximate his mind (entrained through his books and writings) and ElevenLabs' cutting-edge voice simulation technology to revive what we imagine might have been his distinctive voice (though few audio recordings exist), I sit down with an algorithmic Alesiter to explore the core principles of Thelema, the pursuit of True Will, and the nature of magical practice in the modern era.This conversation transcends the boundaries of time, offering a rare opportunity to engage with Crowley's provocative philosophies—re-contextualized in an age defined by advanced AI and global connectivity. As with our first Cybernetic Séance, with the late great Terence McKenna, all of my questions were recorded live, injecting an authentic sense of immediacy and spontaneity into the dialogue. We dove into questions of authenticity, morality, and personal freedom, investigating how Thelemic principles might help guide us through the complexities and distractions of our current moment.All music in this episode was composed entirely by Udio AI.The podcast image was created using MidJourney AI. Don't miss out—subscribe now to experience more episodes in the Cybernetic Séances series, where technology and timeless wisdom converge in unexpected ways.Join the conversation on Telegram to discuss this episode and share who you'd like to see summoned next: https://t.me/+QgtZiyv8tVlmNGJl

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? Follow Joel as he explores the connections of Aleister Crowley's early beginnings at Trinity College in Cambridge, where he was seemingly recruited to live the life of an agent provocateur. Joel peers into Crowley's infatuation with secret societies and his membership in the Golden Dawn, setting up his infiltration of the Carlist movement. Finally, he looks at Aleister's brief time in Mexico, where he expanded his magickal abilities and lived a life under the alias of Isidor Achille O'Rourke.

BONUS NOTE! About Aleister Crowley - by Sabrina Kim Banes Aleister Crowley was an English occultist, ceremonial magician, writer, and mountaineer who lived from 1875 to 1947. He led the international magical society Ordo Templi Orientis, and his grasp of occult knowledge was second to none. He created his own religion, Thelema, whose teachings are contained in The Book Of the Law — and yes, the Gnostic Mass really does involve consuming trace amounts of bodily fluids.  Crowley's Tarot deck, the Thoth deck, which he co-created with Lady Frieda Harris, is known to this day as one of the most powerful and beautiful in existence. Nowadays, people remember Crowley as a sort of early 20th-century edgelord who wrote inflammatory poetry and encouraged people to do drugs and have lots of sex. Some say he drove all his partners mad. But his greatest esoteric teaching, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law," continues to endure within occult circles. If you want to read more about him you should check out Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley by Richard Kaczynski. Not a reader? You can learn a little about some of the wild hijinks of the OTO's Agape Lodge (and the life of Jack Parsons) from the television series Strange Angel.  All errors included here are the sole responsibility of Sabrina Kim Banes!

In this episode, we sit down with esteemed author Richard Kaczynski and practicing occultist Lynn Mavius for a captivating discussion on their journeys through Thelema, magic, and the intricate history surrounding figures like Aleister Crowley, J.F.C. Fuller, and Victor Neuburg. Richard opens by delving into his extensive contributions to the Western esoteric tradition, highlighting his renowned biography Perdurabo, which offers a comprehensive account of Crowley's life. He also shares insights from his latest work, Friendship and Doubt, a deep exploration of the intertwined relationships between Crowley, Fuller, and Neuburg, and how their agnosticism and free thought shaped their magical practices and personal philosophies. Lynn complements Richard's narrative by sharing her experiences as both a writer and a dedicated occultist. She discusses her active role within the local Pagan and Thelemic communities, where she teaches and engages with a broad spectrum of spiritual practices. As the conversation progresses, Richard and Lynn explore the idea of being a well-rounded magician, emphasizing the need to balance esoteric study with broader worldly pursuits. They reflect on their own practices, underscoring the importance of discernment, listening to one's inner voice, and the pursuit of one's true will. The pair also dive into the dynamics of being a magical couple within Thelema. With candid anecdotes, they discuss how their shared spiritual practices strengthen their bond, while also stressing the importance of maintaining individual paths. The conversation then shifts to a timely topic: the influence of social media—especially TikTok—on the dissemination of esoteric knowledge. Both express concern over the rise of disinformation and the cultural shifts within modern spirituality. Lynn points out the increasing polarization within occult communities and the lack of nuance in contemporary discussions of esoteric authors and their works. Together, they call for a revival of the intellectual curiosity that once characterized earlier generations of practitioners, encouraging engagement with diverse viewpoints, even those that challenge one's own beliefs. As the dialogue nears its conclusion, Richard shares exciting updates on his upcoming projects, including the audiobook release of Perdurabo, the critical edition of The Sword of Song, and his forthcoming book Mind Over Magic, which seeks to bridge the gap between psychic practices and psychological research. Lynn also promotes her latest initiatives, inviting listeners to join her online community and attend her lectures on modern occultism. Together, Richard and Lynn offer a contemporary lens on Thelema, advocating for inclusivity, thoughtful engagement, and the reclamation of magical traditions in today's society. Their conversation is not only thought-provoking but also a call to deeper understanding, challenging preconceived notions of what it means to be a practitioner in the modern world, while enriching our appreciation of Thelemic history.

In this episode, we dive deep into the fascinating origins and esoteric significance of the term larva. We begin by exploring its classical Latin meaning as a ghostly apparition or malevolent spirit, drawing from ancient Roman religious traditions. Discover how larvae were seen as dangerous spirits that disturbed the living, and how these concepts evolved over time. As we trace the term through history, you'll see how larva came to represent not just ghosts, but also astral parasites in modern occultism, feeding off negative emotions and unresolved psychic energy. Learn how figures like Blavatsky, Crowley, and Bardon interpreted larvae as psychic parasites, and how the term has even found its way into modern biological terminology. We'll also discuss the festival of Lemuria in Roman culture, where rituals were performed to exorcise these malevolent spirits, and the symbolic significance of masks in esoteric traditions.

In Gargantua, Rabelais introduces the Abbey of Thélème, a utopian society governed by the motto 'Fay ce que vouldras' ('Do what you will'). This principle would later inspire Crowley's central Thelemic tenet, 'Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.' Learn how Rabelais' Renaissance humanism, satire, and vision of personal freedom profoundly influenced Crowley's esoteric philosophy, bridging the gap between literature and occult spirituality.

In a post Victorian London, a man was immersing himself in a world that both fascinated and terrified him. Driven by an insatiable thirst for knowledge, he embarked on experiments aimed at transforming his reality into something more profound and meaningful, seeking to make his mark on the world.This quest for the otherworldly led him to travel the globe, yet he remained tethered to London, unable to resist its magnetic pull. The city's allure only deepened his love for Magick and fueled his ambition to become the most powerful magician ever. This ambition culminated in a dramatic spell-casting duel with members of the secret society, the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, a confrontation that nearly turned deadly and which ultimately brought about the group's downfall. The unconventional wizard fight drew police intervention and subsequent court proceedings, thrusting this dark arts practitioner into the public eye but little did everyone realise, things were about to get a hell of a lot weirder. Coupled with a penchant for narcotics, an addiction to adult activities, and the mysterious death of a follower in Italy, his life became a cauldron of controversy that ultimately shaped modern occultism as we know it.Today on Macabre London, we uncover part two of our exploration into the magical world of the self proclaimed beast 666 - Aleister Crowley.------------------------Podcast: https://podfollow.com/1180202350Macabre London is a fortnightly podcast and YouTube show that delves into London's haunted and gruesome history alongside discovering Macabre mini Mysteries from all over the world!Be sure to check out my other podcast, Killers, Cults & Queens with Cheryl Hole https://podfollow.com/queens---------------------------SUPPORT ME————————ONE OFF DONATIONS: Paypal - paypal.me/macabrelondonKO-FI: ko-fi.com/macabrelondonPATREON: www.patreon.com/macabrelondonAMAZON WISHLIST - http://amzn.eu/dJxEf1V​​​​​​MERCH! - https://macabrelondon-shop.fourthwall.comPATREON - www.patreon.com/macabrelondon——————————-Thank you to our executive producer patrons - Christina, Christophe, Lisa, M, Ravelle, Sally, Sam, Sarah, Terri, Teresa, Vee, VeronicaAnd to all of our wonderful £5 tier patrons...AmyAndreaAndrewClaire RClaire SCreepy PaperDavid RDeniseHelenIngeJoKathrynKellyLindalLiz RachelSabrinaShannonTalliThe Paranormal PrincessVeeZaraZozoLAMAnd thanks to all other patrons too!————————SOCIAL MEDIA---------------------------------------------Insta: @nikkimacabrelondonX: @macabrelondonTikTok: @macabrelondonFacebook: @macabrelondonEmail: macabrelondon@hotmail.comSOURCES----------------https://www.britannica.com/biography/Aleister-Crowleyhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Aleister-Crowley-Magick-Wickedest-World/dp/0399161902https://amzn.eu/d/02IeRW3Shttps://www.findagrave.com/memorial/206060840/nuit_ma_ahathoor_hecate_sappho_jezebel_lilith-crowley https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abbey_of_Thelema Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

Welcome to THE LAST ULTRACULTURE PODCAST EVER! Because we are totally getting cancelled for this and I don't give a flying f***. Not one! The legendary Alkistis Dimech & Peter Grey of the Scarlet Imprint publishing house join the show to talk about the Israel/Hamas war, the growth of Islamism, the role of Thelema in revitalizing the dying Western project, and the rise of the goddess BABALON as a rallying call to all magical practitioners. This is a doozy of a conversation, and probably my favorite episode of all time. Strap in! Links & Resources:

Without a doubt, the second most recognizable and used Tarot deck in existence is the Thoth Tarot. While many are familiar with the originator of this deck, the Great Beast himself, Aleister Crowley, less is known about perhaps the most important person in this decks popularity- Lady Frieda Harris. In this episode, we are focussing solely on this infamous deck, the two figures who brought it to life, and the history of it. No one knows this deck better than my guest- Lon Milo Duquette!
