Welcome to Otherworld. I'm your host, Jack Wagner. This is a short preview of an ongoing series we have been doing on Patreon with the help of Wolf Fleetwood Ross about the life of Aleister Crowley. Aleister Crowley, I'm sure many of you have heard this name before. He was known as the wickedest man in the world. He was an occultist, a poet, a mountaineer, a man who...
created a lot of rituals he created and ran many secret societies you know the list of this guy's titles goes on and on there's a reason why this series is five parts long the story of this man's life is Genuinely the craziest biography I have ever heard in my life, without a doubt. Parts 1, 2, and 3 are already out, and you're about to hear a little portion of Part 4.
This episode covers many, many things. But the section you're about to hear right now, I believe, comes from a part in this episode where Aleister Crowley and his new collaborator slash protégé slash lover, Victor Neuberg, travel to the desert of Algeria to perform a ritual. over the course of two weeks to summon a demon named Charanzan.
During Wolf's research, he told me that it was actually pretty hard to find a lot of information about what this ritual actually entailed and what they were doing to summon Charanzan over these two weeks in the desert. As a last-ditch effort, he tried to ask ChatGPT about this He asked it, how do you summon Charanzan?
And to his surprise, ChatGPT seemed to know how to do the ritual but refused to tell Wolf and instead cautioned him about why he should not summon this demon. Like I said, the first four parts of this series are out now on Patreon in audio and video form. The final section is coming very soon. To hear those, you could sign up at patreon.com slash otherworld.
We'll be back next week with a brand new episode. Once again, if you want to hear these bonus episodes, the first four parts are out now, patreon.com slash otherworld.
So he says, Taranzan, the first thing he says is, I am the master of form, and from me all forms proceed. I am I. I have shut myself up from the spendthrifts. My gold is safe in my treasure chamber, and I have made every living thing my concubine, and none shall touch them save only I.
from me come leprosy and pox and plague and cancer and cholera and the falling sickness and i will reach up to the knees of the most high god and tear his phallus with my teeth and i will bray his testicles in a mortar and make a poison thereof to slay the sons of men So that's how he introduced himself. Wow.
And that is I mean, we're laughing a lot throughout this, which, of course, we must. I mean, yeah, this is a silly story. He's doing pranks on this guy. There's there's hijinks. But it is spooky that Neuberg has said all of this is real. This is real. And even after I hated Crowley.
