Publisher's summary
A rigorously researched biography of the founder of modern magick, as well as a study of the occult, sexuality, Eastern religion, and more
The name “Aleister Crowley” instantly conjures visions of diabolic ceremonies and orgiastic indulgences-and while the sardonic Crowley would perhaps be the last to challenge such a view, he was also much more than “the Beast,” as this authoritative biography shows.
Perdurabo-entitled after the magical name Crowley chose when inducted into the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn-traces Crowley’s remarkable journey from his birth as the only son of a wealthy lay preacher to his death in a boarding house as the world’s foremost authority on magick. Along the way, he rebels against his conservative religious upbringing; befriends famous artists, writers, and philosophers (and becomes a poet himself); is attacked for his practice of “the black arts”; and teaches that science and magick can work together. While seeking to spread his infamous philosophy of, “Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law,” Crowley becomes one of the most notorious figures of his day.
Based on Richard Kaczynski’s twenty years of research, and including previously unpublished biographical details, Perdurabo paints a memorable portrait of the man who inspired the counterculture and influenced generations of artists, punks, wiccans, and other denizens of the demimonde.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Here's a video I made of turning on the new ASM Hydrasynth Deluxe for the first time and messing around with some of the presets (after explaining what makes this keyboard special). Not a full review so much as a fly-on-the-wall view of me enjoying a new toy.

Brilliant!
Much appreciated! The narrator did an excellent job
That narration is superb. Great work!
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoy it. I'm happy with how the narration turned out, too.
Absolutely wonderful and exciting! I can't wait for this!
Many thanks for sharing in the excitement!
Beautiful, will this ever get a second printing?
A new edition *is* in the works, but I can't say much about it just yet. Hopefully I can say more soon, and with any luck it will be out next year.
Hello friend, can I ask you a couple of things? I currently have a ni s61 mkii, and I would like to know, are the keys for the hydrasynth deluxe 73 of good quality? do they feel quality, do they make noise? and my last question is, could i use the hydrasynth as a midi controller to play vsts on pc? And could I configure the sensitivity of the keys and also the sensitivity of the aftertouch on the keyboard, if I use it with a midi controller via USB to the PC? or can I only configure the sensitivity for the internal sounds of the keyboard? Please, you will love to know your opinion. Thank you very much and a big hug from Spain.
Hi! What people like in a synth keyboard is very subjective. Overall, the build quality of the Hydrasynth Deluxe is very solid, and that goes for the keyboard, too. The keys are very quiet; they don't make that clacking sound common on a lot of unweighted synths. It doesn't feel like a weighted keyboard, but there's a little bit of resistance, which gives the action a kind of spongy feel. "Spongy" is often used in a negative sense, but I don't mean it that way, I just don't know how else to describe it. I think the keyboard feels good, a nice compromise between weighted and unweighted. The keys are very responsive, especially with polyphonic aftertouch. If you're able, I'd recommend trying it out somewhere to see if you like the keyboard action. It would definitely work as a controller for VSTs; especially if those VSTs support poly AT, as so few synths offer that capability (especially with 73 keys). I don't know offhand how the Hydrasynth would respond to AT from another MIDI controller; but if you intend to use the Hydrasynth with a different controller, you might consider the desktop module. ASM's recent firmware update has given the "regular" Hydrasynths some great new capabilities.
@@RichardKaczynski hello, thank you very much my friend, one question, can you configure the sensitivity of the keys, velocity curve... inside the hydrasynth? Does the keyboard have a built-in configuration menu? And if so, would the changes arise, using it as a midi controller via usb to use it with vsts?
93!
Love it. I am a Michigander. Lived in Detroit for a while. 93!
Thanks & 93! I'm a native Michigander & Detroiter as well, so this story fascinates me very much.
@@RichardKaczynski I am currently reading Perdurabo. I bought the Kindle version. It would be cool to have an original Blue Equinox.
@@TimelessAdventures Thanks for reading Perdurabo! I hope you enjoy it. The blue Equinox is chock full of interesting information. I got my original copy (pictured in the video) from the Mayflower Bookshop back when they were located near 9 Mile and Woodward.
@@RichardKaczynski So Cool! I’m looking forward to Perdurabo. 93/93
2:38 Cool... won't be long before Korg and Roland Et al have to eat the bullet and bring it back.... many ways of doing POLY AT and would like to see a nice weighted "hammer action" version of the Hydrasynth in favor of synth needs with POLY AT rather than a "real" piano action generally used with foot pedals in place of aftertouch. Well done ASM!
Such a Big toy Bro! 93s
Excellent demonstration of an awesome keyboard. Thanks!
Thanks for watching, I'm glad you enjoyed my demo. The Hydrasynth Deluxe is indeed an awesome keyboard!
Thanks buddy, I really appreciate you
Thanks, I'm happy if the video was helpful!
oh, very nice
Crowley was a nut-job.
No, he was the a great intellectual anf leading authority in 20th-century occultism and still has a great influence today
@@LilSippy333 No, he was a very bad, selfish, sociopathic, drug-abusing wreck of an individual who poisoned anyone & anything that had the misfortune to come into contact with him. Grow up, for Chrissakes!
@@maltesetony9030 how so?
@@LilSippy333 I'm filing this under "wind-up". No-one familiar with Crowley's life-story could be so stupid.
93 como, 333 copias? Necesito una. El negro y rojo luce genial siempre! THX for share! 93/93

This is right up my street! Thank you for taking the time to do this comparison, and the Work it took to bring this tome back to life. 93s
I've been eagerly waiting to receive the new edition so I could put this video together. I was hoping people would enjoy seeing material that isn't generally available.
EPIC!!!∆∆∆...thank you for this...
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching.
Just recently came across a Crowley documentary and a small mention of him visiting Detroit.
I'm reading the book now, but I appreciate the summary. Nice job.
Great presentation for those with the Lockdown Blues. cheers
The one that was missing.
hmmm....well, that is something. not sure what it is, but its indeed something.....
Thanks Ricard 93 93/93
Thanks Richard!
I'd like to acknowledge that this presentation benefited from information shared by fellow researchers Robert Flores (who, as I remark in the video, is preparing a book on Liber Oz) and Deja Whitehouse (who is doing fantastic work on Frieda Harris).
Excellent video, loved it.
