Though he died in obscurity in 1947, the renegade magician Aleister Crowley has come to exert an enormous influence on popular and sub-culture alike. Join Erik Davis, author of Techgnosis and the 33 ¾ volume on Led Zeppelin IV, for a clip-heavy performance lecture on occult film. Sampling rare footage, experimental shorts and documentary clips, Davis examines the rise of magic in the 1960s and 70s, including Crowley's apocalyptic religion of Thelema.
