"he was performing his ritual on the astral plain, thru visualization." translated that means "he sat around totally f****d up until he passed out."

Were six deaths attributed to the 'Curse of Tutankhamun' actually murders by arch-satanist Aleister Crowley?
By Daily Mail Reporter

The mysterious deaths gripped the nation back in the 1920s and 30s.
More than 20 people linked to the opening of Tutankhamun's burial chamber in Luxor in 1923 died in bizarre circumstances, six of them in London.
A frenzied public blamed the 'Curse of Tutankhamun' and speculated on the supernatural powers of the ancient Egyptians.
But a historian now claims the deaths in Britain were the work of a notorious satanist, Aleister Crowley.
Mark Beynon has drawn on previously unpublished evidence to conclude the occultist – dubbed the wickedest man in the world – masterminded a series of ritualistic killings in 'revenge' for the British archaeologist Howard Carter's opening of the boy-king's tomb.

After analysis of inquest reports, Crowley's diaries, essays and books, he also argues Crowley was a Jack the Ripper-obsessed copycat murderer.
His 'victims' included Carter's personal secretary Captain Richard Bethell, who was found smothered to death at an exclusive Mayfair club, and Bethell's father Lord Westbury, who plunged seven floors to his death from a St James's apartment where he reportedly kept tomb artefacts.

Other victims were said to be Sir Ernest Budge, a former keeper in the British Museum's department of Egyptian and Assyrian antiquities – found dead in his bed in Bloomsbury – and Ali Kamel Fahmy Bey, a 23-year-old Egyptian prince shot dead by his wife, Marie-Marguerite, in the Savoy Hotel shortly after he was photographed visiting King Tut's tomb.

etc, etc....

Never got the impression Crowley could have given much of a crap about the living let alone dead egyptians, and that aside, he was close to broke by that era anyway so not particularly well resourced for that kind of thing, and otherwise engaged with his antics in Italy.

It does seem a bit unlikely. Makings of a good novel, though.

What is this "Historian" on and where can I get some?

Wallis Budge; what's strange about a 77 year old chap dying in his sleep?

BTW Wallis Budge is mentioned in The Jewel of Seven Stars, by Bram Stoker so there's a connection that could be made the between Crowley and Dracula.

AA Milne and Aliester Crowley, both studied at Trinity College, Cambridge. They may even have overlapped...I've wondered whether a Winnie the Pooh Meets The Great Beast book would be feasible.

PM - the novel idea sound good, but let's hope that Dan Brown doesn't get to it first....

I especially like this bit:

'This was a man given to extensive world travel and yet we know he was in London when at least four of the six deaths occurred.'

It's a cast-iron case I tells ya!

Missed this thread at the time.
Just to put the record straight: Aleister Crowley was certainly not a Satanist.
Ideas about Hell, and Satan being the Devil are of Judeo-Christian origin and Crowley being opposed to all things Christian would have avoided them like a plague. This is without mentioning that his father was a fanatical preacher who Crowley seems to have gone out of his way to defy.

Having said that, the press of the time dubbed him "The most wicked man in the world" and a Satanist. Crowley loved the publicity as he wanted to sell his books and said nothing.

People who practice ritual magic, like Crowley and the famous Hellfire Club, do not practice Satanism in any shape or form. It's usually a cover for what's really going on. Ritual magic involves sexual rites that Crowley was certainly involved in. These would have caused much more of an outcry by the press and at the time would probably have involved legal intervention.

I've actually learned something from this thread, which of course is totally unacceptable.
Masturbation as murder, interesting idea and may help explain why Annie Besant 'A.B' in Moonchild is accused of foul murder, although I have read that she promoted birth control via contraception over abortion.
I don't know what Edward Berridge 'Balloch' said at the court case to upset Crowley, but he gets a good savaging, it's interesting that Berridge was a homeopathist, and relatively speaking amongst the company he kept, something of an odd duck.
I've been picking away at the coincidence of the founding of the Golden Dawn with the Jack the Ripper murders for a while now, but a lay, literalist approach to Crowley's writing is unproductive without a full understanding of the man and all his works, which I now see.
There is a quote from the Jewish encylopiea on Wiki which goes something like 'The Kabbalah turns our young men into mystics and dreamers, who angels and demons everywhere'
This is interesting in as much that speculation on the influence of the Kabbalah on a paranoid schizophrenic like Aaron Kosminski may finally reveal a motive, particularly the demoness Lilith and the four angels of sacred prostitution, possible manifestations of Lilith, perhaps corresponding to the four cardinal points of the murdera.
Of course, any research into Kabbalah in the 19th century leads straight to the Golden Dawn, and eventually to Berridge, another possible line of enquiry.
If Crowley was implying that Berridge had carried out abortions, perhaps through prescribing abortificents, it does put him in the same city as another JTR suspect, Francis Tumblety, and that's interesting, particularly in the light of the 'murder' of Emma Smith, who could have died from an attempt at self inflicted abortion, common enough at that time, a little research also shows that homeopathic abortificents do not always expel the fetus.
Casebook generally doesn't do occult, but the lack of interest in my posts were down to my own pig ignorance and poor understanding and even poorer presentation of the material.
Thanks guys, your posts have been truly enlightening.
