Description

Aleister Crowley: The Beast in Berlin Art, Sex, and Magick in the Weimar Republic Aleister Crowley, a renowned gnostic poet, painter, writer, and magician, arrived in Berlin on April 18, 1930, seeking to be among the leaders of art and thought. He was drawn to the city's liberated atmosphere, where artists, writers, and performers gathered to shape the future. During his time in Berlin, Crowley's focus shifted between his art, his work as a spy for British Intelligence, and his colorful love life and sex magick exploits. Crowley's connections with Berlin's artistic community were significant, and he interacted with notable figures such as Christopher Isherwood, Jean Ross, and Aldous Huxley. However, as Hitler's power grew, Crowley's presence in the city became increasingly precarious. The book explores the fates of Crowley's friends and colleagues under the Nazi regime, as well as the fate of his lost art exhibition. This book provides a unique insight into Crowley's life in Berlin, a city on the cusp of artistic renaissance and impending darkness.
