My Blog Talk Radio presentation entitled Timothy Leary: heir to Aleister Crowley? is available for listening now.
Phone problems in the last five minutes prematurely curtailed the broadcast but I had finished the essential material.
Most of the lecture is taken almost verbatim from a chapter in my book Aleister Crowley and the Aeon of Horus.
The central topic is a mysterious episode in 1971 when Leary and the English writer Brian Barritt found themselves walking in the footsteps of Aleister Crowley and Victor Neuberg in their legendary occult workings in the Algerian desert that included the raising of John Dee's "mighty demon" Chroronzon.
Although the subject has been discussed by other writers, I believe I have a unique and interesting perspective on what it actually meant abd how it helps us to understand the whole drama of Leary's life.
