Aleister Crowley was a British occultist and mystic, or, according to Evelyn Smythe, a narcissistic charlatan who wrote awful poetry. "He was a bit of a joke, really"; at the very best, he was a "cut-price Nietzsche". According to her, he "filed his teeth into points, and called himself the Beast." (AUDIO: The Spectre of Lanyon Moor)

Sir Archibald Flint believed that Aleister Crowley was a prophet. As he saw it, Crowley's vision was the dissolution of absolute morality. He wrote, "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law." Evelyn called this a very feeble philosophy. Sir Archibald used a variation on this quote as a justification for imposing his own will on all the people. (AUDIO: The Spectre of Lanyon Moor)

In 1944, Crowley served as an adviser for the British Army's wartime experiment, Project Big Ben. Taking notes from what was known about the failure of Project Chronos, the Germans' equivalent, Crowley warned the British to consider the type of energy used and the machine's proximity to ley lines.
