Aleister Crowley: A Very Crowley Christmas

This episode we have fallen under the thrall of infamous occultist Aleister Crowley AKA ‘The Beast 666’. It’s December the 1st 2019, exactly seventy two years since Crowley’s death, and yet his influence lingers on… Crowley’s philosophy and ideas are often dismissed as crazy and/or evil but in this episode we attempt to give the devil his due. We met the people who practice the religion Crowley founded, dive deep into his biography and practice a ritual live on podcast so you at home can sense the dark energies rising. In case that sounds a bit intimidating, listeners will be comforted to know that this episode was recorded in our Christmas pajamas shortly after consuming our first mince pies of the season. Exploring esoteric, paranormal and spiritual topics from two completely different perspectives it’s The Seeker and The Skeptic.
