Examines Aleister Crowley’s 30-year-long intimate association with Paris
• Investigates the tales of Crowley “raising Pan,” going mad, and working gay sex magick in Paris
• Uncovers Crowley’s involvement in the Belle Époque with sculptor Auguste Rodin and other artists and in the 1920s with Berenice Abbott, Nancy Cunard, Man Ray, André Gide, and Aimée Crocker
• Reveals Crowley’s “expulsion” from Paris in 1929 as a high-level conspiracy against Crowley
Exploring occultist, magician, poet, painter, and writer Aleister Crowley’s longstanding and intimate association with Paris, Tobias Churton provides the first detailed account of Crowley’s activities in the City of Light.
Using previously unpublished letters and diaries, Churton explores how Crowley was initiated into the Golden Dawn’s Inner Order in Paris in 1900 and how, in 1902, he relocated to Montparnas
