Aleister Crowley. That name is pretty well-known in the occult and witchcraft community. Was he a pioneer for the modern esoteric movement? Was Crowley a true supporter of LGBTQ+ and feminine rights? In this Heroes and Villains episode, Kitty and Allorah introduce you to the man who called himself "The Beast" and dig into the brighter, benevolent aspects of his life including his education, mountaineering exploits, founding of a religion, and design of a Tarot deck. Don't forget to tune in to our other podcast Mimir's Well in the next few weeks to listen to the mirror episode of this one in which we explore the darker side of Aleister Crowley. And then you can decide for yourself if Crowley was a hero, a villain, or both.
