We're back for season 5 and are diving into the story of occultist, magician, writer and (checks notes) mountaineer, Aleister Crowley.


In the first of 2 episodes, we dive deep into the enigmatic life of Aleister Crowley to find the man behind the myths.

Was much known about his childhood? How did he join the Golden Dawn? And how do you do a magic staircase fight?

The secret ingredient is...dawn!
