Occult Corner: We finally tackle the long and action packed life of Alestair Crowley, “The Wickedest Man In The World,” and a founding father of modern occultism. There was nothing in this world that he didn’t try, and that really pissed some people off. In this second installment we learn about his various exploits, failed occult communes, and what sort of things he wrote when he finally burned through all his inheritance and needed money! We also tackle his *deeply problematic* ideas and counter cultural philosophies.
