Dark Magic, The Occult, and Murder | The Life of Aleister Crowley

Halloween is here, and what more can we do, but provide you with some tales of dark magic, the occult, and murder? That was the life-led, but notorious Aleister Crowley. Usually, on History Out of The Box, we try our best to paint the characters that we choose to discuss in a moderate light, providing you with details in an entertaining way, to determine your thoughts on these people for yourself. Listener beware, Aleister Crowley is quite the disturbing character!

Founder of the religion of Thelema, known as The Great Beast 666, Perabduro, and Ankh-f-nkhonsu, Edward Crowley was born in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, England on October 12th, 1875. His home is still standing today - 30 Clarendon Square - and he was born the heir to a wealthy brewing fortune. His father, also named Edward, was a devout evangelist/traveling preacher for the Plymouth Brethren, and his mother, Emily Bertha Bishop, was also quite pious. When young Edward was 11, his father passed away from tongue cancer, something that we think had a profound and terrible effect on Edward, driving him down the path that eventually created Aleister Crowley.

Tune in to episode 17 of History Out of The Box as Jen and Cam discuss the dark, disturbing, and uncomfortable life of Edward "Aleister" Crowley.

History Out of The Box strives to connect our listeners with the echoes of our collective past, discussing the good, the bad, and the ugly associated with famous historical figures.
