The Many Lives of Aleister Crowley & The Wizard Battle That Went to Court!

In a post Victorian London, a man was throwing himself into a world which intrigued and terrified him in equal measures.With an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, he soon leant into experiments which would see him trying to twist the world he knew into something more profound, meaningful and worthy of his time on the planet.This pursuit of the otherworldly would see him travel the globe but he always found himself tethered to London, unable to escape its magnetic pull and his pursuit of becoming the most powerful magician to have ever lived came to a head when he ended up having a spell casting duel with secret society members of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn which threatened to turn deadly.This unconventional wizard fight, culminated in the police being called and the matter being taken to court which catapulted the purveyor of the dark arts into the public eye.Throw into the mix a penchant for narcotics, an addiction to adult activities and the mysterious death of a follower in Italy and you have a potion for a life that would go on to shape modern day occultism as we now know it.Today on Macabre London, we uncover the many lives of Aleister Crowley.Thank you to todays sponsor London Nootropics!
