“Young Aleister Crowley and the Magicians’ Revolt brims with historical details and the initiated wisdom of a lifelong magician. Young Aleister Crowley isn’t just an alternate universe tale of magick, power, jealousy, and war. It’s an initiation.” -Richard Kaczynski, author of Perdurabo: The Life of Aleister Crowley, Mind Over Magick: The Psychology of Ritual Magick, and othersStep into the occult underworld of Edwardian London in Young Aleister Crowley and the Magicians’ Revolt and follow Crowley as he plunges into the secret society of the Golden Dawn. The year is 1900, and this isn’t just a new club; it’s a war zone. Crowley, a rebellious genius, an aspiring magician, and an acclaimed poet, unwittingly arrives amidst a power struggle as the formidable magicians of the Golden Dawn revolt against their leaders, MacGregor Mathers and his wife, Moina Mathers. Empowered by an ancient Arabic grimoire, the Mathers pair claimed contact with “Secret Masters,” but now their influence is waning. As historical figures like William Butler Yeats and Bram Stoker populate the ranks, Crowley finds himself caught in a magical crossfire. His naive pursuit of enlightenment accidentally ignites an all-out wizard war with magical attacks recoiling upon his adversaries. Young Aleister Crowley and the Magicians’ Revolt culminates in a climactic magical showdown, where Crowley’s self-realization becomes his ultimate weapon. Between the darkness and the light stands Aleister Crowley.
