  Aleister Crowley - A Short Story...

  Aleister Crowley

  Edward Alexander Crowley was born on 12th October 1875 to wealthy parents in Royal Leamington Spa in Warwickshire. 
   
  He was educated at Malvern College, Tonbridge School, Eastbourne College and finally Trinity College, Cambridge where he focused on his passions of mountaineering and poetry and published several volumes. 
   
  Life for Crowley was to abandon his parents’ Christian faith and instead to inject himself into Western esotericism.  In 1898, he joined the esoteric Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and was trained in ceremonial magic before studying both Hindu and Buddhist practices in India. 
   
  On his Egyptian honeymoon in 1904 he claimed contact with an entity―Aiwass―who gave him the sacred Book of the Law which served as the basis for the Thelema religion where he identified as its prophet.  During the Great War, which he spent in the United States, he claimed to be working for British Intelligence but by the 1920s he had decamped to pursue a libertine lifestyle in Sicily, and in the ensuing scandals was evicted by the Italian Government. 
   
  He divided the following two decades between France, Germany, and England, and the continuing promotion of Thelema. 
   
  During his life he gained widespread notoriety for his drug use, his bisexuality, and his alarming views on society.  In short, polite society frowned on his ways, his thoughts and his influence but to many others his stance had much of value.  Even after death he was a darling for the 60’s counterculture but his influence has since waned.   
   
  His literary works were both prolific and covered many topics.  In the early part of his career he published many poetry books, even plays, before his darker and more forceful works came to dominate his output. 
   
  Aleister Crowley died on 1st December 1947 at Hastings in England. He was 72.

  The Homecoming

  The Homecoming is Zoë Apostolides's debut novel. Quietly disturbing, it tells the story of Ellen, a young ghost-writer sent to record the memoirs of an elderly woman living in a remote Northumberland manor. Elver House is dilapidated, its faded beauty fading to ruin.
  The assignment seems simple enough. Ellen will spend a week conducting interviews at the wild and sprawling estate – far from the quaint country cottage she had imagined – before returning to London to write Miss Carey's autobiography. She digs deeper into its history, its lore and mystique and its occupant's increasingly bizarre behaviour. Clearly it isn't just the past that's haunting Miss Carey. And in unravelling the tangled threads of the older woman's story, Ellen too must confront more about herself than she bargained for.
  Part mystery, part ghost story, this is a story about isolation, memory, spirits and secrets, intergenerational friendship and motherhood.

  A collection of occult detective stories inspired by Dion Fortune’s own experiences as a student of the mystical and unseen. 
  Dr. Taverner, a brilliant and enigmatic physician, runs a private nursing home for patients whose afflictions defy conventional medicine. Alongside his assistant Dr. Rhodes, he confronts forces far stranger than disease—malevolent psychic attacks, astral projections gone wrong, vampiric entities, and the dark arts of occult practitioners. 
  Each case blends medical science with the supernatural, pulling readers into a shadowy world where the boundary between body and spirit is perilously thin. Fortune’s tales combine suspense, rich psychological insight, and a sense of genuine esoteric knowledge that makes them uniquely compelling among early 20th-century occult fiction. 
  Chilling, atmospheric, and thought-provoking, The Secrets of Dr. Taverner remains a classic for fans of supernatural mysteries, occult thrillers, and anyone fascinated by the hidden dimensions of human experience.
