I have a new video lecture out there: ”A Touch of Vitriol – The Short Story Magic of Aleister Crowley” Author Carl Abrahamsson talks about the intricate auto-fictional aspects of Crowley’s short stories, and how they reveal details about Crowley’s psycho-sexual antics and emotional compensations. The ”Great Beast” may not be remembered as an author first and foremost but when you actually zoom in and take a closer look there’s always a lot to unpack. Whether constructed consciously or intuitively expressed in an inspired moment, Crowley’s fiction is a great gateway to a deeper understanding of his fascinating psyche and creativity. #aleistercrowley #magick #thelema #carlabrahamsson #occulture #666

In 2015, Abrahamsson even made his own tribute to Jarman’s influential film: ”Sub Umbra Alarum Luna.” Derek Jarman was a key figure within a never before experienced scene in which the medieval magic of John Dee cross-fertilized with the radical sex magic ideas of Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth (TOPY).
