I just wanted to say thank you. I am a Christian that watches this podcast, as well as the Mile Higher, and I really appreciate how you don't bash the faith. A lot of people that I listen to that have walked away from their Christian upbringing make fun of it and I just appreciate how respectful you all are of all faiths and beliefs. It's refreshing.
@@zxmbiemermaid from what I've listened they are unbiased and prioritize just getting mysteries and information out there and it's important to have people like this to provide information so listeners can just make their own judgements
I have noticed that too. It is very refreshing. As a Christian who enjoys exploring other points of view and life experiences regardless of how dark or tragic they are, I also enjoy feeling welcome to do so without feeling like I have to stick up for myself. There is nothing I hate more then assumptions based on ones chosen faith.
I'm like the most kids innocuous presume ever. All me to sit in front of a camera and talk, my entire visage changes. I think you have to get used to it over time. I bet he's just nice and calm like that all of the time though. Josh, you and Kendall so the whole podcast thing so we'll, from the having, to the marketing, to the topics. You've found your calling and I hope all is well at the Zoo. I'm proud of like like you're my kids is something. I have a daughter around your age, matter a bit younger, so that makes total sense to me.
During the 1890s and 1900s heroin was considered a wonder drug. It was used to treat many respiratory illnesses but it later proved that many of these patients became addicts. The doctor was not trying to kill him, lol. LOVE the episode!

Love the new setup! Joel being on camera is great, never knew he was in the back due to the camera cuts but awesome to have a still shot for most of the time.
I’ve always been so fascinated by Aleister Crowley. I like these types of occult/taboo biographies. It’s an easy listen as well as educational. This episode and the one about Anton LaVey are my favorites. Thank you both for working so hard on these! I listen to every episode without fail.
This is my favorite episode so far! I love when you guys talk about paranormal things and people who are well known in that field. I have to tune out some weeks bc it's a bit too intense for me so it's nice to have some lighter podcasts once in a while.
When it comes to Crowley being on the beatles album cover art you have to remember that although the beatles were very much a main stream "pop" band there was also a period of time where some or all of the members were experimenting with lsd and traveling to places like india and I'm sure that they had their fair share of interest in the occult and all that stuff.
Would love if you did an episode exploring the connection between grey aliens and demons, along with how other e.t. or inter dimensional beings relate to or fit intro tradition religious ideas. It always interests me how advanced life forms are often said to communicate telepathically, which is how people often pray or communicate with their god figures 🖤
Kind of ironic, my cousin is named Alastair and he looks like Jimmy Page. He’s a minister! That is really interesting to me…lm not into Crowley’s beliefs at all, but I’m interested in what makes people tick, how they think. I’ve been bingeing your podcasts, thank you for always being even, balanced and fair.
The mountain climbing aspect of Crowley's life is super fascinating. Back then they didn't even have the tech climbers have today. I doubt they even had oxygen that could be worn easily. They didn't have the gear that keeps people warm today. When you think of the cold wind always blowing at those heights, anyone would have to have a deep personal determination to pull it off... it's mind blowing to look into these climbers back in those eras and the obstacles they had to overcome to reach those summits. It's super amazing! PS another great podcast episode guys!! Glad I found your channel. Not sure how to find podcasts on Apple, but I've followed the show on other channels. I love the videos!
Oh I love seeing Joel at the table! These kinds of vids are my fave. I'm a practicing Pagan Witch so I absolutely adore listening to Occult stuff. Thanks for the great uploads guys
Josh’s pronunciation of W. B. Yeats is toooo funny hahaha. I knew they were in the Golden Dawn at the same time together, but never knew about their fight. I can totally picture that happening, Yeats for sure would’ve grown tired of Crowley’s personality.
I immediately said out loud, "it's pronounced yates." I thought it was cute too though because I automatically thought of "yeet" like he's yeeting something. xD
Omg when you said he fell in and out of love quickly I was like “sounds like me, bet he’s a libra” then I checked, he’s born 2 days before me lol 🤦🏽♀️

Sgt Pepper was a nickname of Alestair Crowley. In the title song of the album, the Beatles say "It was 20 years ago today, Sgt Pepper taught the band to play" referring to some kind of education or friendship with Crowley. He had a huge influence in those times because he knew a lot of influential people. That's why he was on the album.
This actually isn’t based in fact but sheer speculation, more of a Beatle conspiracy theory if anything. Crowley never had the moniker “Sgt. Pepper” in his days alive or after. Lennon was only known once to quote “do what thou wilt” in an interview but never linked Crowley to being the inspiration behind the album title
The new sign is awesome. the lighting is EVERYTHING! Also happy to have Joel at the table too! Another great episode, I love when you talk about these sorts of topics
Seems like Crowley was a man who was driven by his hatred of Christianity. The Christian worldview he was given as a child seemed to have seriously let him down when his father was taken from him as a child, he didn’t have the resources to properly deal cope with reality so he attempted to live like an atheist. But like many ex Christians-turned agnostic/atheist, probably understood that strict physicalist worldview leads to a boring, dull and depressing life and he turned to every other metaphysical worldview, but Christianity, for spiritual wisdom. I like you guys diving into more of these stories where you can wrestle with the themes and philosophical figures in history!
An agnostic view has been very comforting to me as a person who was raised a Christian. I do enjoy the podcasters sensitivity to respecting to religious choices though. I still hold many Christian values as an educated adult, I just dont believe the Bible is infallible.
I am so in love with the neon light! It looks so cool and automatically makes the production quality look 100% better. It was a good vibe before but the red glow just really pulls the mood together.
Most definitely! I have red and blue lights for my plants and they totally mess with the colors when I walk away from them. Definitely a tippy feeling when it first happened to me.

Im so obsessed with this podcast. By far my favorite. Glad I discovered this from being a fan of Kendall's content. You guys always have the best content!
I have family photos of my grandfather sitting on his lap, and my grandfather's dad next to him, super creepy family photo. The woman my grandfather remarried refuses to pass that heirloom and she isnt even related to us... I feel like shes stealing a piece of my family history. My mother insisted on taking his last name at least. Thinkin of doing the same. My mother used to poke fun of me cause I look like the thumbnail
Is it some cool, exotic last name? Because if not, I don't get why you'd take your maternal grandfather's last name, especially given your grandmother divorced him. Like, who cares...
@@alexlarsen6413 I didn't take the last name Crowley, my mother did. I just want to, It's obviously a family name, and not exotic at all?? Like weird flex bro. And if you dont care so much, why'd you say anything
@@wafflestomper6958 now that she knows what I'm trying to get that from her shes danced around me coming by. To the point she straight up ignores me. From her stand point it's something to sell and she just may have:/
If you mention online that you’re related to anyone famous/infamous from history, people get mad! I’ve had it on IG, so now I just don’t say anything. People suck. On another note, do all you can to get that photo back. Speak to a lawyer of you have to.
Came across this channel by accident, but saw this episode on Crowley and decided to watch, glad I did! Always looking for podcast based on stuff like this. I love the sign by the way! Subscribing now! Happy holidays from Texas
Love how open minded you guys were on this episode! Most people write off Aleister Crowley as some evil person and that’s it but no one ever really touches on what his message was. Still not a fan of some life choices lol but loved hearing you guys discuss it!
YESSS I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!! Aleister Crowley was definitely interesting and did a lot of.... odd.... things. I haven’t looked into most of the rituals he did so this may be tame in comparison to other things he got into, but “The Cake of Light” made me a little sick to my stomach. It was basically a biscuit with menstrual / period blood, semen, the blood of a child, blood / semen of his followers and enemies, and the blood of a beast / animal. Which then was EATEN during this “Mass of the Phoenix” ritual. Yeeeahhh I’mma have to pass on that one buddy. I’ll stick to red velvet cheese cake thanks lol. You couldn’t pay me to eat a pastry made with period blood, animal blood, regular blood (especially a child’s 🤬) and some dude’s nut butter. No ma’am no sir
It does not have blood of a child or a beast or blood of followers. The menstrual blood and semen are cooked into it and it is a few drops not a whole gob of it. 93
@@jamesridge7982 Cakes of Light “For perfume mix meal & honey & thick leavings of red wine: then oil of Abramelin and olive oil, and afterward soften & smooth down with rich fresh blood. The best blood is of the moon, monthly; then the fresh blood of a child, or dropping from the host of heaven: then of enemies; then of the priest or of the worshipers: last of some beast, no matter what. This burn: of this make cakes & eat unto me….” (Liber AL vel Legis, Chapter III, verse 23-25) ...oh ok. 😂
This might be the most interesting relaxing podcast I’ve ever heard ... Thank you for making life better! Just found you guys and man... What a stress reliever! 🙏🏻
MASSIVE LOP FAN for a long time...HAPPY to see the new studio and JOEL at the desk....thanks for many hours of viewing/listening especially through COVID from the UK....
Thanks for presenting this talk about Uncle Al with clarity, respect and open-mindedness. He was such a balanced yet controversial blend of light and dark that it can be quite uncomfortable to realize that he is not easily labeled as either hero or anti-hero - or maybe he was both simultaneously. He's an eccentric enigma, that's for sure. As a Thelemite, it's refreshing to find someone presenting this topic with a sense of curiosity and with a desire to understand and explore this history - instead of the usual knee-jerk, fear-based reactionary judgments, mockery and obtuse commentary. Crowley's life and adventures are a fascinating rabbit hole to get sucked into and always leaves me with much food for thought. Interesting point comparing Tesla and Crowley too, if nothing else, they were definitely both geniuses who contributed greatly to their respective fields of study. Thanks again for an enjoyable episode. Btw, just imho, it seems that you are well on your way to finding and fulfilling your own Will as well, Josh, via whatever path it ends up being - Uncle Al would be chuffed, lol. Cheers to you both. 93 93/93 🤓🙏

I'm catching up on all episodes. So far, this one seems the most interesting. Aliester really lived his life, and he was able to see and do anything and everything!
He's had the most interesting life ever. He didn't attempt completing all of the school years, and to me, visiting different countries while still being young without worrying about the budget is very cool haha
Love seeing both of yall in the same shot, and just seeing this awesome podcast grow. I listen to every one no matter how much I know about the subject, y'alls perspective and the way you navigate and construct it is super dope and inspiring. Thank you for talking about these topics, i imagine some of them can be hard to get through all the research. Love yall
Well done guys, in fact I'd say brilliant! I know a lot about our man Crowley but you taught me some things I didn't even know about, and went into more detail than I knew aswell. I look forward to more in the future, I'd be interested if you did one on Dion Fortune, another occultist and associate of Crowley. Your Pazuzu Algarad episode was a good episode too, I'd never heard of him until you covered it. Thankyou guys.
I absolutely adore both you and Kendall, I really enjoyed this podcast, opened my eyes a lot. I also grew up in a Christian home and was told Aleister was wicked but as you were speaking about his beliefs I was kind of in awe, even before learning about him I was always attracted to his character. Call is energy or whatever, he pulled me in and I had no idea why. I’m a newly found Christo Pagan and started venturing on my own path and so much of this just made me think he was very much misunderstood. Thank you for such an awesome eye opening journey for me this morning.
Aleister is a very common name in Scotland. Usually spelled "Alister" your nick name would be Ali,or Alec, or Alex. Rarely you would hear the name Alister, except in the plastic toff circles..

I discovered the Hermetic Tarot very randomly about a 3 weeks ago... and it led me down a rabbit hole that I can’t get out of, I don’t want to get out of it either lol I’m FASCINATED. And, I remembered that you guys did a podcast that I listened to back in the day on the one and only Aleister Crowley. As I was looking over the book of Thoth last night, I remembered this episode, and I have to listen again.
When I was pregnant with my third child, I was determined to give him a Harry Potter name. I went through a dozen of them, but my husband wouldn't agree. I suggested Alastor after Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, and my husband said he loved that name, so that's what we went with. I didn't find out till way later the reason he was so partial to the name was because of Aleister Crowley. So yeah, I have a child partially named after Aleister Crowley. I'm not sure how I feel about that lol
I like this new dynamic. I LOVE the new sign. And topic suggestions: Break down on the different occult subtopics, Donte's inferno, and the different Princes of hell or Horseman. All super interesting things!
If you haven't studied his memoirs, you do not understand Thelema or the Path chosen by Crowley. Liber ABA is a good starting point as Liber Al vel Legis is complex and three fold.
Yay!!! Joel is at the table!!! I've been hoping that would happen, and hope he starts sharing more and more of his outlooks on cases. It's great to hear a conversation and get multiple people's input. Makes for easy listening and easy to digest content. Also, the sign is awesome!
Anton Lavey last words: “what have I done? There’s something very wrong here... this is all wrong” Aleister Crowley last words: “I am perplexed” Both mocked Jesus and Christianity and on there death bed realized they were following the wrong person.
I love the adventure of his life, his travels, his openness to other cultures. Id give anything to travel and observe/absorb other cultures. I consider myself a secular Buddhist of sorts.
@@syxflacko6852 I second this. Like melting onto each other. On shelves and letting them drip onto them and the tables. All cream colored candles of different sizes
I wish it could go without saying that these people do not have abilities, but simply a relentless obsession and a tenacious approach in experiencing the seemingly impossible or irrational. There are many people like this who are even more insightful and experienced but didn't publish works of writing or want to be recognized by society at all.
I am Thelemite, 93, i appreciate your in-depth, fair discussions on this. Do what thou wilt,shall be the whole of the law, love is the law love under will, Thelema

Wow I'm not even done with this podcast but I just wanted to say from the breakdown of Alister to the commentary. Everything is amazing. Background setting too. lightening and all. Great work. Subscribed.
I’m a fresh sub and I absolutely love this podcast. I love the seriousness, how you guys aren’t afraid of getting all way the dark. Most channels would have to insert jokes and for me that just sets off the tone. I listened for 10 hours straight at work yesterday. Keep it up y’all 👍🏻👍🏻

I am so in love with the neon light! It looks so cool and automatically makes the production quality look 100% better. It was a good vibe before but the red glow just really pulls the mood together.
You guys are amazing!! I listen to your podcasts everyday! Honestly this is one of the best ones yet. Love the work you guys put into it! 💖💖
Absolutely LOVE the sign!! Thanks so much guys for the amazing content! Hope all of you have wonderful holidays 💖
The sign is great! The lighting is reminiscent of hearing stories by the campfire. Very fitting.
I know their vision was all green after they left this room.
Most definitely! I have red and blue lights for my plants and they totally mess with the colors when I walk away from them. Definitely a tippy feeling when it first happened to me.
@@KourtneewithaKandtwoEEs at first I thought it was a joke about night vision
GREEEEEN LIKE MILE HIGH HAHAHAHA

Im so obsessed with this podcast. By far my favorite. Glad I discovered this from being a fan of Kendall's content. You guys always have the best content!
I have family photos of my grandfather sitting on his lap, and my grandfather's dad next to him, super creepy family photo. The woman my grandfather remarried refuses to pass that heirloom and she isnt even related to us...
I feel like shes stealing a piece of my family history. My mother insisted on taking his last name at least. Thinkin of doing the same. My mother used to poke fun of me cause I look like the thumbnail
Yeah I'd steal that back. Just wear a fake mustache while you do it, Crowley style.
Is it some cool, exotic last name? Because if not, I don't get why you'd take your maternal grandfather's last name, especially given your grandmother divorced him.
Like, who cares...
@@alexlarsen6413 I didn't take the last name Crowley, my mother did. I just want to, It's obviously a family name, and not exotic at all?? Like weird flex bro. And if you dont care so much, why'd you say anything
@@wafflestomper6958 now that she knows what I'm trying to get that from her shes danced around me coming by. To the point she straight up ignores me. From her stand point it's something to sell and she just may have:/
If you mention online that you’re related to anyone famous/infamous from history, people get mad! I’ve had it on IG, so now I just don’t say anything. People suck.
On another note, do all you can to get that photo back. Speak to a lawyer of you have to.
Came across this channel by accident, but saw this episode on Crowley and decided to watch, glad I did! Always looking for podcast based on stuff like this. I love the sign by the way! Subscribing now! Happy holidays from Texas
Glad you enjoyed!
Love how open minded you guys were on this episode! Most people write off Aleister Crowley as some evil person and that’s it but no one ever really touches on what his message was. Still not a fan of some life choices lol but loved hearing you guys discuss it!
I’m not really into the lighting, but the sign is AMAZING 🤩
I actually like the skeleton better.
I've been checking all day!! Can't wait to chill and listen! 😁 LOVE the sign!
YESSS I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE!!!
Aleister Crowley was definitely interesting and did a lot of.... odd.... things. I haven’t looked into most of the rituals he did so this may be tame in comparison to other things he got into, but “The Cake of Light” made me a little sick to my stomach. It was basically a biscuit with menstrual / period blood, semen, the blood of a child, blood / semen of his followers and enemies, and the blood of a beast / animal. Which then was EATEN during this “Mass of the Phoenix” ritual.
Yeeeahhh I’mma have to pass on that one buddy. I’ll stick to red velvet cheese cake thanks lol. You couldn’t pay me to eat a pastry made with period blood, animal blood, regular blood (especially a child’s 🤬) and some dude’s nut butter. No ma’am no sir
Yoooo that is nasty bro😷😷
It does not have blood of a child or a beast or blood of followers. The menstrual blood and semen are cooked into it and it is a few drops not a whole gob of it.

Lol!! And, so gross...
Disgusting
@@jamesridge7982 Cakes of Light
“For perfume mix meal & honey & thick leavings of red wine: then oil of Abramelin and olive oil, and afterward soften & smooth down with rich fresh blood.
The best blood is of the moon, monthly; then the fresh blood of a child, or dropping from the host of heaven: then of enemies; then of the priest or of the worshipers: last of some beast, no matter what.
This burn: of this make cakes & eat unto me….”
(Liber AL vel Legis, Chapter III, verse 23-25)
...oh ok. 😂
This might be the most interesting relaxing podcast I’ve ever heard ...
Thank you for making life better! Just found you guys and man... What a stress reliever! 🙏🏻
MASSIVE LOP FAN for a long time...HAPPY to see the new studio and JOEL at the desk....thanks for many hours of viewing/listening especially through COVID from the UK....
Yo that light is awesome and hey Joel welcome to the front
Thanks for presenting this talk about Uncle Al with clarity, respect and open-mindedness. He was such a balanced yet controversial blend of light and dark that it can be quite uncomfortable to realize that he is not easily labeled as either hero or anti-hero - or maybe he was both simultaneously. He's an eccentric enigma, that's for sure.
As a Thelemite, it's refreshing to find someone presenting this topic with a sense of curiosity and with a desire to understand and explore this history - instead of the usual knee-jerk, fear-based reactionary judgments, mockery and obtuse commentary.
Crowley's life and adventures are a fascinating rabbit hole to get sucked into and always leaves me with much food for thought.
Interesting point comparing Tesla and Crowley too, if nothing else, they were definitely both geniuses who contributed greatly to their respective fields of study. Thanks again for an enjoyable episode.
Btw, just imho, it seems that you are well on your way to finding and fulfilling your own Will as well, Josh, via whatever path it ends up being - Uncle Al would be chuffed, lol.
Cheers to you both. 93 93/93 🤓🙏
I literally screamed “our new sign arrived!” When the video started. I don’t know how it’s mine in any way...but it looks great either way boys
LOL that was cute

I'm catching up on all episodes. So far, this one seems the most interesting. Aliester really lived his life, and he was able to see and do anything and everything!
Looks great and I'm glad you are both sitting at the table..
I love the lighting. It sets the mood perfectly. Thanks for another great one!
He's had the most interesting life ever. He didn't attempt completing all of the school years, and to me, visiting different countries while still being young without worrying about the budget is very cool haha
Love seeing both of yall in the same shot, and just seeing this awesome podcast grow. I listen to every one no matter how much I know about the subject, y'alls perspective and the way you navigate and construct it is super dope and inspiring. Thank you for talking about these topics, i imagine some of them can be hard to get through all the research. Love yall
Well done guys, in fact I'd say brilliant! I know a lot about our man Crowley but you taught me some things I didn't even know about, and went into more detail than I knew aswell. I look forward to more in the future, I'd be interested if you did one on Dion Fortune, another occultist and associate of Crowley. Your Pazuzu Algarad episode was a good episode too, I'd never heard of him until you covered it. Thankyou guys.
I absolutely adore both you and Kendall, I really enjoyed this podcast, opened my eyes a lot. I also grew up in a Christian home and was told Aleister was wicked but as you were speaking about his beliefs I was kind of in awe, even before learning about him I was always attracted to his character. Call is energy or whatever, he pulled me in and I had no idea why. I’m a newly found Christo Pagan and started venturing on my own path and so much of this just made me think he was very much misunderstood. Thank you for such an awesome eye opening journey for me this morning.
Aleister is a very common name in Scotland. Usually spelled "Alister" your nick name would be Ali,or Alec, or Alex. Rarely you would hear the name Alister, except in the plastic toff circles..
His name was Alexander first then change to Alester

I came from Spotify just to see the sign and y’know what? Not disappointed. It’s absolutely gorgeous.
Ayyy I’m early!! Hope everyone is safe. Love this podcast!! The sign is so dope
Hope you're safe too!
Safe until your not.
I discovered the Hermetic Tarot very randomly about a 3 weeks ago... and it led me down a rabbit hole that I can’t get out of, I don’t want to get out of it either lol I’m FASCINATED. And, I remembered that you guys did a podcast that I listened to back in the day on the one and only Aleister Crowley. As I was looking over the book of Thoth last night, I remembered this episode, and I have to listen again.
I just got that deck about a month ago and am totally in love with it! Its my absolute favorite...and the Thoth deck is most definitely on my list
When I was pregnant with my third child, I was determined to give him a Harry Potter name. I went through a dozen of them, but my husband wouldn't agree. I suggested Alastor after Alastor "Mad-Eye" Moody, and my husband said he loved that name, so that's what we went with. I didn't find out till way later the reason he was so partial to the name was because of Aleister Crowley. So yeah, I have a child partially named after Aleister Crowley. I'm not sure how I feel about that lol
I’m sure there’s a few out there you will be partial to.
Yes I also do 😍 my husband rip was a thelemite
I think it's rad.
Enjoyed the different episode this evening. Thanks guys. Learned something new tonight. Knowledge is power! Keep up the good work!
Omg love the studio vibes guys!! The sign is epic! And yay... Joel’s at the table 🙌🏻
love seeing how well you guys flow together in the same shot! also, looove the sign and the red hue on all the equipment. goes nice with the theme 💀
Perfect to cook dinner to and fold laundry.
Yup
I like this new dynamic. I LOVE the new sign. And topic suggestions: Break down on the different occult subtopics, Donte's inferno, and the different Princes of hell or Horseman. All super interesting things!
Yay! Finally, Joel is at the table!
This new set up is spooky yet cozy at the same time, very much worth the wait
the NEW SIGN OOOOFT-
WHAT
That honestly looks incredible guys, definitely sets the mood.
It looks so good! Definitely worth the wait ive been just waiting for this sign and honestly it did not disappoint.
If you haven't studied his memoirs, you do not understand Thelema or the Path chosen by Crowley. Liber ABA is a good starting point as Liber Al vel Legis is complex and three fold.
You have to study the original source before forming opinions .
The new sign is SICK! Glad Joel is getting more involved, keep up the good work guys!!
That sign is awesome! Love it!👏
So happy you posted!!! Was about to start painting and I was so sad that I finished listening to all your podcasts
Y’all NEEEED to cover Carl Panzram!! Insane ass story 💀😭
I second this!! 🙌🏼
Whos that?
I come from Leamington Spa and lived a few doors down from where he lived. We use to get all sorts of strange people coming to visit.
Heroin slows the heart rate & breathing. I’d imagine that’s why they apparently once thought it useful for asthma.
Also asthma produces a cough and once when my cough was bad I was prescribed the opiod hydrocodone 7.5.
Yay!!! Joel is at the table!!! I've been hoping that would happen, and hope he starts sharing more and more of his outlooks on cases. It's great to hear a conversation and get multiple people's input. Makes for easy listening and easy to digest content. Also, the sign is awesome!
Alesteir's mountain climbing group: Abandons Alesteir and says they're going home
Alesteir and his guardian angel: HA you thought.
love the channel, I can do artwork and listen to this for hours
Anton Lavey last words: “what have I done? There’s something very wrong here... this is all wrong”
Aleister Crowley last words: “I am perplexed”
Both mocked Jesus and Christianity and on there death bed realized they were following the wrong person.
Yep.
They chose the wrong side 🤫
They got caught in the cycle of reincarnation.
I love the adventure of his life, his travels, his openness to other cultures. Id give anything to travel and observe/absorb other cultures. I consider myself a secular Buddhist of sorts.
It's kinda dark in there though, you need some candles or something
Yes it would be so cool if they had a shit ton of candles in the background!!!
@@syxflacko6852 I second this. Like melting onto each other. On shelves and letting them drip onto them and the tables. All cream colored candles of different sizes
I don't think Josh be happy with that kendle had candle on the sesh she dropped wax all over the sound bored 🤣🤣
nah thats too similar to bailey sarian's background
@@JW-wp3yh That would look so cool
Hail thyself for divinity lives within us all.
I wish it could go without saying that these people do not have abilities, but simply a relentless obsession and a tenacious approach in experiencing the seemingly impossible or irrational. There are many people like this who are even more insightful and experienced but didn't publish works of writing or want to be recognized by society at all.
I am Thelemite, 93,
i appreciate your in-depth, fair discussions on this.
Do what thou wilt,shall be the whole of the law,
love is the law
love under will,

I’m sure I was first introduced to Aleister Crowley on Scooby Doo🤔
Supernatural for me
I knew the name sounded familiar 🥺
i decided to be productive today and always need something to listen to in the background. opened this app and i was happy to see your video up!! love the theme!! the sign is amazing
It’s Crowley but the o is not a long o, it’s a short o. Haven’t you heard the song Mr. Crowley by Ozzy Osborne?
Wow I'm not even done with this podcast but I just wanted to say from the breakdown of Alister to the commentary. Everything is amazing. Background setting too. lightening and all. Great work. Subscribed.
The sign is perfect so happy for you guys
I’m a fresh sub and I absolutely love this podcast.
I love the seriousness, how you guys aren’t afraid of getting all way the dark.
Most channels would have to insert jokes and for me that just sets off the tone.
I listened for 10 hours straight at work yesterday.
Keep it up y’all 👍🏻👍🏻
This man basically had the longest documented adolescence in recorded history, didn't he?
Great thought.
Longer than Jesus, lol.
Just saying.
Love the sign yal are so creative with the podcasts and have come so far! Good work
Whoa! Love the sign and having Joel at the table w/ Josh ❤️ 💀 The aesthetic pleases me 😈
Love the awesome sign, love Joel being at the table even more!!
Ozzy Osborne wrote the song Mr Crowley based off him 😁 I'm only 20 minutes in so I'm not sure if you'll mention this or not but wanted to share
...We know.
30:50 I’m sorry but picturing this argument is sending me imagine these two shouting magical curses at each other like they’re in Harry Potter
