- Richard
Kaczynski -
returns to talk about his Aleister Crowley scholarship.

Falcon) is the result of that effort. Richard comments on
Crowley in America, the years of work that went into
creating this biography and the revelations it holds for
those interested in this infamous figure.
- Richard
Kaczynski -
In "Rebels
& Devils: The Psychology of Liberation" (New Falcon),
Christopher S. Hyatt, Ph. D. combines over 400 pages of
articles from William S. Burroughs, Austin Osman Spare,
Timothy Leary and more to intellectualize rebellious
activities and occult, fringe philosophy as some of the
manifold paths to realizing a full human potential. It is
in the analysis of the life and motivations of Aleister
Crowley and the candid, in-depth interview with Israel
Regardie that the savage breaking of taboos is seen as a
tool. The interview by Hyatt with Regardie and the
following Crowley analysis by psychologist
Richard
Kaczynski are the
core of the book, literally and figuratively. This strips
the mystique off occult activity and rebellious behavior
and describes them within the confines of a methodology.
To quote Kaczynski in "Taboo & Transformation": "The
ceremonial magick championed by Crowley…is, in a nutshell,
alchemy: The transformation of one's base character into
gold. …If psychological triggers can precipitate spiritual
change, then the taboos socially programmed into us can
act as triggers for major spiritual transformation." In
this interview, Kaczynski discusses Crowley, the Detroit
O.T.O. chapter and his upcoming biography of Crowley.
