Aleister Crowley

On this episode of Those Conspiracy Guys we discuss the Beast himself, creator of the Order of Thelema and quite possibly one of the biggest cultural influencers of the last century, The Dark Magician himself, Aleister Crowley. From his reasonably comfortable beginnings to the debauched and disease riddled end, Crowley lived to the extreme. A proficient and prolific mountaineer, a poet, painter, novelist, magician, occultist and mountaineer who travelled the world on a perpetual search for enlightenment through questionable sexual practices and drug imbibment we discuss it all on this episode!

On this episode we talk about one of the most famous US kidnappings and the insanely complicated abduction story of Jaycee Lee Dugard. In the summer of 1991 Phillip Garrido, a convicted sex offender, and his wife Nancy snatched Jaycee Lee off the street outside her house in Lake Tahoe, California. She was kept incarcerated for 18 years and even had two children with her captor. In this episode we talk about the suffering she endured and the psychology of both victim and captor. We also try to discover why it went on for 18 years and also why nobody thought to ask more questions, and examine the testimony and TV appearances of Jaycee Lee after she was released.
