Sympathy for the Great Beast 666 - or, Aleister Crowley and the Christ Mandala

Carolyn and Laila talk about Carolyn’s recent theory that AC, with all his scandalousness and mythopoetic self-identification as the Great Beast of The Book of Revelations, succeeded in “immanentizing the eschaton” (to borrow a phrase of the late, great Terrence McKenna) and revealing to Western consciousness a new archetype of the whole Self, later elaborated by Carl Jung in his 1951 classic, Aion, about Christ and Antichrist.
