Aleister Crowley Part Two: Death at the Abbey of Thelema | Halloween Special 6 of 6

The final chapter of our six-episode Halloween special follows Aleister Crowley's Abbey of Thelema at Cefalu. He imagined a working model of a new spiritual order. Raoul Loveday arrived seeking instruction. Betty May, his wife, left an urgent private account of illness and dependence. We follow the household's founding, its demanding ideas of freedom, Loveday's fatal illness, the conflicting testimony, the press campaign and the later libel trial. The final segment weighs what these records can establish about the death and what remains unproved. Thank you for joining our Halloween extravaganza. We will be back to more Unexplained History next week.
