About this episode
Was Aleister Crowley truly the wickedest man alive, or a covert double agent hiding behind the mask of the occult? In this deep-dive with Joel Thomas of Free the Rabbits, he unpacks Crowley’s shadowy connections to British intelligence, the Golden Dawn, and secret wartime missions that blurred the line between sorcery and spycraft. The conversation drifts into the strange parallels between his sketch of LAM and modern alien imagery, whispers of early mind-control experiments, and a web of influence that may have stretched from ancient rituals to world wars. In the end, Crowley emerges not as a man torn between good and evil, but as one who fully embraced the dark to serve his hidden masters.
