If anyone deserve the respect and love from Horror fans it's you guys. You guys make us be able to see things we might not otherwise be able to see, due to location or afforability. Thanks guys so much

I read a book in the library when I was 10 years old about AC. I remember it having quite a significant affect on me and set me on a path to research other, more lighter magical arts.

I'm not even in the dark magic and I know about Alister Crowley. All ways be fascinated with the occult, magic and paranormal, love it. Love the adventures that you guys do.

1:01 Keen eye, Jessica! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

The Golden Dawn also included A.E. Waite as a member--the man responsible (in part) for the creation of the iconic Rider Waite Tarot Deck. He worked with the artist/theatrical designer Pamela Colman-Smith--a remarkable woman who was not given access to Golden Dawn 'membership', even though her psychic skills could run rings around the much-lauded Waite.

Not only did she design that card deck (78 Degrees of Wisdom, indeed); even though she was following Waite's lead in assigning 'meaning' to each card, especially the Major Arcana of 22 cards; she alone was responsible for the creation of the images on the 56 Minor Arcana cards--which tarot card artists have used as a template to this day!

Prior to these images, the Minor Arcana resembled a deck of playing cards, with only the numbers (1 through 10) suits (Wands, Cups, Swords, and Pentacles), and the sole 'picture cards' (Page, Knight, Queen, and King) displayed--no clues as to meaning, or interpretation.

It would be ENTIRELY AWESOME if you could, one day, do a deep dive into the history of this amazing, visionary artist. Psychics, Mediums, Artists, Designers have all taken their cue from her work. It is said she died penniless, living with a female companion somewhere in Cornwall. Her artwork has vanished, without trace. It would take a Grimm sleuth to unlock her story. Michael and Jessica...?

I have to say, seems like everyone was absolutely bonkers in those days! Got to love it. Thank you for this one. Short, but epic ❤

[chuckprefume]

Great video, thanks for sharing as always.

I never thought that you could top last years haunted house trip but this year is amazing. On a side note my wife of 42 years (we grew up near Hollywood) has a rubber bat that she named Mr Crowley for about 42 years. Thanks again for the great videos and enjoy your time there, be safe too

[maryannwheeler]

I've heard the name aleister Crowley but I didn't know what he was associated with. Thank you for doing this video. That first building was absolutely beautiful

[TheGatlinburgHussey]

Good morning from Gatlinburg TN Smoky Mountains Park Grimms... can't wait to watch tonight after work 🎃🌄🍁

Another brilliant vlog in the UK - thank you.

Crowley was an interesting character who was a bit of a charlatan but influential in pop culture - loved character Crowley in Supernatural tv series.

Crowley was also seen by author Dennis Wheatley as a very dangerous man and was used as Basis for villain in Hammer Films classic “The devil rides our” starring Christopher Lee playing hero for a change - filming locations for this film might be a good option for future vlog.

Hope you both come back to UK soon.
