And you find value in the channeled text that Alastair Crowley received and spent his whole life wrestling with if you aren't one of his followers?

And if you can, how and what is it?

Well, as a special treat for the anniversary of the reception of the book of the law, I put that exact question to two of contemporary magic's finest thinkers,

Peter Gray and Alan Chapman.

Now, like myself, neither of them are the Phthalamites.

But what they do have is an encyclopedic knowledge of the era and the material.

So if anyone's going to be able to help you form or deepen your opinion, your position on this material,

it's going to be these two fine gentlemen.

Enjoy! A very, very special episode for you all this time.

Tis the season we approached the anniversary of the Book of the Law.

So I have brought a couple of really fantastic and insightful minds to have what I hope

will be a, what I know will be, a really rigorous and fruitful and fascinating conversation

about Crowley in the macro sense,

but in particular this moment in his life,

what it meant to him, how we sit with it now,

and what we can take, what we can learn,

and what we can find in the story of the reception of the book of the law and subsequent grappling with.

So I would like to welcome to the show, the one and only Alan Chapman and returning special guest, Peter Gray.

So thank you both for, thank you both for being here.

I'm very much looking forward to this.

Cool.

Thank you so much for the invitation.
