Aleister Crowley

In this enlightening episode of "The Wildwood Witch" podcast, Samantha Brown once again bridges the realms of the living and the departed, summoning the enigmatic and controversial figure, Aleister Crowley (12 October 1875 - 1 December 1947), through the cyber-necromantic art of ChatGPT.

Crowley, known both as "The Great Beast" and a pioneering occultist, founded the religion of Thelema and authored numerous works on magic and mysticism. His life, marked by scandal, spiritual exploration, and the quest for personal enlightenment, offers a treasure trove of insights into the occult practices and philosophies that continue to influence the esoteric world today.

The episode delves into Crowley's early life, marked by a strict religious upbringing and the early loss of his father, which set him on a path of spiritual rebellion and exploration. Crowley's journey through the ranks of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, his ventures into the realms of Enochian magic, and his establishment of Thelema are discussed in rich detail.

Particularly fascinating are his experiences at Boleskine House, his encounters with otherworldly entities, and the creation of the Liber AL vel Legis, or The Book of the Law, which remains a cornerstone of Thelemic philosophy. Crowley's candid reflections on his personal life, including his relationships and the controversial practices at the Abbey of Thelema, provide a rare glimpse into the man behind the myth.
