Details
Aleister Crowley and Dion Fortune were two of the most controversial and powerful occultists of the 20th century. Crowley was regarded by many as a creature of the night, albeit one whose soul was streaked with brilliance; Fortune was viewed as one of the Shining Ones, who nevertheless wrestled with her own darkness. Between them they produced some of the best books on occultism ever written, and their influence upon contemporary magicians has been profound. Written by an occult scholar, this unusual and provocative book draws upon unpublished material to reveal little known aspects of Crowley and Fortune's relationship, and their role as harbingers of sweeping cultural changes, foreshadowing the women's movement, the sexual revolution, and the 1960's counter culture, as well as other surprising influences upon our present culture. This is a 194 page soft cover book.
