Tobias Churton | Invisibles, Conspiracy & the Children of Father CRC | Part 1 of 2

Source: forumborealis.net



What happened in the early 1600s to explain the R+C furor? What was the manifestos, what did they say, who was behind them & what did they lead to?

World leading scholar on Esoterica, Tobias Churton, sets the record straight so we can understand the important backdrop to the Shakespeare-Oak Island riddle. He accounts for everything Rosicrucian (incl Tubingen circle, Paracelsus, J. Dee, J.V. Andrea, T. Hess, F. Bacon, King James, etc) and also lets us know his experience at Oxford University, the Exeter program for Esoteric studies, & some of his previous work... and he relates research into sexual aspects of ancient Gnostic teachings.

Tobias Churton | Aleister Crowley: The Beast in Berlin Part Two

Source: legalise-freedom.com, tobiaschurton.com



Tobias Churton discusses his book Aleister Crowley - The Beast in Berlin: Art, Sex, and Magick in the Weimar Republic. The talk also touches on psychology, politics, science, spirituality, materialism, quantum physics, social conformity, limits to human understanding, and the quest for meaning and purpose in life.

Gnostic poet, painter, writer, and magician Aleister Crowley arrived in Berlin on April 18, 1930. As prophet of his syncretic religion Thelema, he wanted to be among the leaders of art and thought, and Berlin, the liberated future-gazing metropolis, wanted him. There he would live, until his hurried departure on June 22, 1932, as Hitler was rapidly rising to power and the black curtain of intolerance came down upon the city. Known to his friends affectionately as ‘The Beast’, Crowley saw the closing lights of Berlin's artistic renaissance of the Weimar period when Berlin played host to many of the world's most outstanding artists, writers, filmmakers, performers, composers, architects, philosophers, and many other luminaries of a glittering world soon to be trampled into the mud by the global bloodbath of World War II.

Drawing on previously unpublished letters and diary material by Crowley, Churton examines Crowley's years in Berlin and his intense focus on his art, his work as a spy for British Intelligence, his colorful love life and sex magick exploits, and his contacts with German Theosophy, Freemasonry, and magical orders. He recounts the fates of Crowley's colleagues under the Nazis as well as what happened to Crowley's lost art exhibition - six crates of paintings left behind in Germany as the Gestapo was closing in. Revealing the real Crowley long hidden from the historical record, Churton presents ‘the Beast’ anew in all his ambiguous and, for some, terrifying glory, at a blazing, seminal moment in the history of the world. -legalise-freedom.com
