Fortean Times Crowley Special

I just picked up issue 231 of Fortean Times, a special issue on Aleister Crowley. If you’ve read a lot of Crowley you won’t find anything you didn’t know already, although Gary Lachman’s piece on his Thelemic experiences while playing with Blondie might prove enlightening… There’s some silly stuff as usual, but overall not a bad issue in general of this always entertaining magazine.

Aleister Crowley: The Great Beast Revealed

In this issue, sixty years after Aleister Crowley’s death, we take a fresh look at his life and work - from his magic to his legacy, from his dealings with the Secret Service to his skill with the cocktail mixer.

Also this month we fear for the Russian cult members barricaded in a cave awaiting the end of the world, laugh at a drunk guy who fell asleep in a bank with his horse, report on cameras disguised as insects, consider Out-of-Body Experiences, and are chilled by tales of a haunted playground swing.
