[Clip 00:00:00 – 00:00:09]

I have an interview coming up in a minute with Jason Horsley. We talk a lot about the cultural influence of Aleister Crowley. Do you need any more evidence than a Scooby doo movie or a Buffy the Vampire episode?

So, this is a really long interview. I think there’s a ton of good stuff in it. 

Here are some clips from the show. 

Jasun Horsley: [00:00:30] You bring a case like Crowley and you put him under the microscope, and you see what I saw with The Vice of Kings. How far was he willing to take that? He was willing to take that all the way, he was looking for what he perceived as the most evil act possible, the unforgivable sin in the Bible, the sin against the Holy spirit that’s unforgivable and then committing it, as a way to, the the path of trangression, completely free himself from social conditioning, from false morality. And we’re living in a culture and climate that advocates this, it’s all over.

I mean, if somebody is consciously deceiving, they would have to also be deluded as well. They would have to have some rationale for doing it that would be fundamentally delusional. I mean, I do believe there’s an innate moral sense that we have biologically even, we have a sense of what’s right and wrong in any given moment.

Alex Tsakiris: [00:01:30] You know, how effective you can be with 90% to 95% truth… and win your trust, so that I can then use that to kind of switch things in a different way.

Jasun Horsley: [00:01:44] It’s spin isn’t it? My sense with Levenda, and he did help me see something ironically, is that I started to get a sense that it was to do with ideological affiliation, if you like. That Levenda, my impression anyway, he’s ideologically affiliated with occult values and systems and methodologies.

 Alex Tsakiris: [00:02:10] Welcome to Skeptiko where we explore controversial science and spirituality with leading researchers, thinkers, and their critics. I’m your host, Alex Tsakiris, and today we welcome Jasun Horsley back to Skeptiko.

Jasun is the author of several books. Including Prisoner of Infinity, which we talked about during a previous episode of Skeptiko. Also, The Vice of Kings: How Socialism, Occultism, and the Sexual Revolution Engineered a Culture of Abuse. A book I am sure we will be referencing frequently today. And a new upcoming book titled 16 Maps of Hell: The Unravelling of a Hollywood Superculture. I don’t know if we’ll get a chance to talk about that, but I hope we do, it sounds intriguing. I don’t really do the book interview thing, as you know Jasun, but I’ve just got to let people know about those fantastic books, because they’re going to want to check them out.

I also wanted to let them know about, you have a terrific podcast, The Liminalist, that liminal are between, well between whatever this is and whatever that is. And an outstanding website blog which we’ll be referencing as well, called Auticulture. And of course, people can find all of that and follow you. 

So all of that stuff is great, but I really wanted to do something different.
