In Search Of The Great Beast 666

In Search Of The Great Beast 666 documents the chilling life, impulses and journey of Aleister Crowley (1875-1947), one of the most controversial and mysterious characters of the 20th Century; infamously known as "The Wickedest Man in the World.

"Voiced by acting legend Joss Ackland (Watership Down, Lethal Weapon 2, The Hunt For Red October), this vivid portrayal unearths the barely believable and shocking facts surrounding this infamous Occultist, Spy, Poet, Dark Magician, Hedonist, Writer and accomplished Mountaineer. Was he related to US President George Bush? How was he connected to Scientology, Jack the Ripper, Winston Churchill, Hitler and Ian Fleming (creator of James Bond)? How did this man come to know so many remarkable people and why did he become the subject of fascination for generations of world-class musical icons? Crowley is not only said to have inspired the free-love movement, but also through his literature is notorious for replacing the Ten Commandments with just one: "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law."
