Aleister Crowley's Banned Lecture
THE BANNED LECTURE is
a unique discourse by Crowley ostensibly in defence of the notorious
Giles De Rais, a mediaeval Magician who has been variously accused of
killing between 100 and one thousand children in Satanic
Rites. Is that what Satanists do? Of course not.
In reality the execution of Rais on 26 October 1440 by an Ecclesiastical
Court was as much due to political intrigue and the beginnings of The
Burning
Times (witchcraft mania ) than to any firm evidence of the alleged
atrocities. The accusations have resurfaced in modern times and
many otherwise sensible commentators have fallen for the lies about
Rais including some historians who hold that the crimes actually did occur.
 But Crowley knew that Giles de Rais' case had been a classic example of the
suppression of knowledge by a theocracy and was making ready to tell the
Oxford University Poetry Society the truth on Feb 3rd 1930.
His lecture, printed verbatim in this pamphlet, was
in reality an attack on the Establishment and an explanation of how the Orthodoxy
had always suppressed free thinkers. So penetrating were these conclusions
that Father Ronald Knox, the University's Catholic Chaplain, succeeded in
banning the lecture at the last minute. This did not frustrate Crowley who
immediately had the lecture printed and distributed as you see it in this
book.
The relevance of Crowley's BANNED LECTURE to modern issues of religious
freedom
is astounding. His conclusions are of immense importance to all
esotericists. The strategy that the Establishment used to
persecute and execute Giles de Rais
on charges which are still unclear 500 years afterwards are the same
ones
which their modern counterparts employ to create mind-control mechanisms
in the mass media today. The need for Knox to suppress Crowley's
comments about
Rais have their parallel with the fundamentalists wish to ban Crowley's
books today.
Crowley's BANNED LECTURE has become his 'defence from the grave'. Seventy years after the event
the spectre of Crowley's BANNED LECTURE reappears again to smite the lies
and contradict the conclusions which snipe nosed bigots thought they were safe in
asserting.
When you read THE BANNED LECTURE and see what 'The Wickedest Man
in the World' really thought about Black Magic and Satanism you will see
that Crowley has managed to confounded his critics 'from the grave'.
