Dr. Rick Spence (Aleister Crowley)
Prof. Richard Spence (Aleister Crowley)
Richard Spence's book "Secret Agent 666: Aleister Crowley, British Intelligence and the Occult" explores the controversial life of Aleister Crowley, a renowned occultist and writer, and his involvement with British intelligence during World War I.
The book examines Crowley's connections to various intelligence agencies, including the British Secret Service, and the extent of his involvement in covert operations during the war. It also sheds light on Crowley's influence on other notable figures of the time, including Winston Churchill and Ian Fleming, the author of the James Bond series. It's a fascinating exploration of the intersection between the world of espionage and the occult, and the ways in which the two worlds were intertwined during a critical period in history. It offers a unique perspective on Crowley's life and legacy, and provides insight into the often-secretive world of intelligence operations during the early 20th century.
