An Interview with The Beast: Cybernetic Séance with Aleister Crowley (A.I.)

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.
