    NEW BOOK

    Marco Pasi, Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics

    Acumen Publishing, 238 pp.

    ISBN 978-1844656967 

    Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) is one of the most famous and significant authors in the history of western esotericism. Crowley has been long ignored by scholars of religion whilst the stories of magical and sexual practice which circulate about him continue to attract popular interest. Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics looks at the man behind the myth – by setting him firmly within the politics of his time – and the development of his ideas through his extensive and extraordinarily varied writings. Crowley was a rationalist, sympathetic to the values of the Enlightenment, but also a romantic and a reactionary. His search for an alternative way to express his religious feelings led him to elaborate his own vision of social and political change. Crowley’s complex politics led to his involvement with many key individuals, organisations and groups of his day – the secret service of various countries, the German Nazi party, Russian political activists, journalists and politicians of various persuasions, as well as other writers – both in Europe and America. Aleister Crowley and the Temptation of Politics presents a life of ideas, an examination of a man shaped by and shaping the politics of his times.

     

     

     

    Kabbalah and Modernity: Interpretations, Transformations, Adaptations , edited by Boaz Huss, Marco Pasi, and Kocku von Stuckrad

    ISBN-13: 978 90 04 18284 4

    The persistence of kabbalistic groups in the twentieth century has largely been ignored or underestimated by scholars of religion. Only recently have scholars began to turn their attention to the many-facetted roles that kabbalistic doctrines and schools have played in nineteenth- and twentieth-century culture. Often, and necessarily, this new interest andopenness went along with a contextualization and re-valuation of earlier scholarly approaches to kabbalah. This volume brings together leading representativesof this ongoing debate in order to break new ground for a better understanding and conceptualization of the role of kabbalah in modern religious, intellectual, and political discourse.

    Fondateur d'unenouvelle religion, magicien, poète, peintre, Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) s'installe dans les années 1920 à Cefalù, où il fonde son Abbaye de Théléma. La série de peintures présentées ici, objet d'une exposition au Palais de Tokyo, a été découverte il y a quelques années dans un village proche de Cefalù. Elle explicite l'importance de l'image et du symbole dans le domaine occulte. Son étude atteste entre autres de son lien avec le jeu de Thoth, tarot conçu par Crowley vingt ans plus tard (1938- 1942). Entre visions oniriques et hallucinations psychotropes, utopie d'un paradis primitif, l'ensemble de l'oeuvre de Crowley a influencé la contre-culture autant que la musique pop. La découverte de ces peintures est l'occasion d'interroger la complexité de cet héritage.
