Na'im Ali & Xia Anderson | Aleister Crowley (w/ Jim Norton) | True Dat Podcast

Описание: This week on a very special episode of True Dat, we have legendary comedian Jim Norton in the house! He, Xia, and Na'im discuss Aleister Crowley - an English occultist who earned the reputation of being 'the wickedest man in the world' in the early 20th century. Although Crowley was never convicted of a specific crime, his bisexuality, prolific drug use, and ties to the occult were enough to send tabloids in a frenzy at the time. Some suspected Crowley was a spy for the British government during WWI, while others thought he was simply a devil worshipper. Eventually, Crowley started a commune in Sicily, where he was kicked out by Mussolini for lewd behavior -- one man died on Crowley's property, and it's said his cult was making animal sacrifices. No wonder Ozzy Osbourne wrote a song about him!
