Browse era →In this episode, Psyche explores Aleister Crowley's apparent predictions about modern culture, focusing on how the occultist seemed to anticipate the sex, drugs, and rock and roll lifestyle that would become prominent decades later. The discussion covers Crowley's connection to England and the Tavistock Institute, his book 'Liber AL vel Legis' (which Psyche refers to as 'liberal'), and his prediction that music would be a vehicle for liberal transformation. Psyche also delves into Crowley's personal life, noting that he was ahead of his time in the 1800s with his bisexuality, drug experimentation, and occult practices. The episode touches on Crowley's initiation into Freemasonry in Mexico and his involvement with the Golden Dawn, while addressing modern Masons' attempts to delegitimize his Mexican initiation.
