Episode Synopsis

In this episode, I am joined by Richard Kaczynski, an authority on the life and works of Aleister Crowley, to discuss the newly released annotated edition of Crowley's The Sword of Song. Throughout the conversation, Richard delves into Crowley's controversial reputation, upbringing in a fundamentalist Christian sect, and his struggle with Victorian societal norms. Richard also discusses Crowley's extensive contributions to Western Esotericism, including his interests in Buddhism, Hinduism, and ceremonial magic. This discussion offers unique insights into Crowley's philosophical evolution and offers valuable context for those interested in Crowley's early writings and their relevance today.
