About this audiobook

Aleister Crowley’s journey into the esoteric and his eventual proclamation of the Law of Thelema were not born in a vacuum. Rather, they were the complex product of an upbringing steeped in a peculiar, and for him, suffocating, form of religious fervor. His genesis as a figure who would later defy conventional morality and religious doctrine can be traced back to his birth in Royal Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, in 1875, and the peculiar domestic environment that shaped his formative years. The family belonged to the Plymouth Brethren, a strict, evangelical Protestant sect known for its austere practices, its emphasis on personal piety, and its unwavering belief in the imminent return of Christ. This was not a household where theological nuances were debated; it was a place where adherence to a rigid interpretation of scripture was paramount, and the world outside its narrow confines was viewed with suspicion and condemnation.
