Anyone
with even a passing interest in the occult will
know only too well the name of Aleister Crowley,
a poet, dark magician, traveller, mountaineer, chess
player and author of a number of occult works who
drove more than one of his lovers to madness. In
his day he was described by the press as "the
Great Beast" and "the wickedest man in
the world," his bogeyman status as ambassador
of evil remains as strong as ever, with knowledge
of his writings used as evidence of guilt in the
famous Robin Hood Hills murder case documented in
the film Paradise
Lost.
In
Search of the Great Beast 666 uses dramatic
reconstructions to examine the life of the man was
was voted one of the most influential Britons of
all time in a BBC poll and reveals the truth behind
some of his lesser known but more chilling exploits,
plus a revelation that may link Crowley directly
to the White House!

narration by the magnificent voice of Joss Ackland
and music by Rick Wakeman, In Search of
the Great Beast 666 will be released on
