Random Quote

The central question for our time is not how you worship God, or even whether you worship God. It's whether you believe in this life you can be in possession of the absolute truth and you have the right to impose it on others - and therefore whether your differences are more important than our common humanity. That's the values crisis.

007 and 666: A True Tale of Spies and Sorcery

LAShTAL.COM is proud to publish a lengthy article by Micah A Hanks regarding Ian Fleming and Aleister Crowley, 007 and 666: A True Tale of Spies and Sorcery

This fascinating essay - reproduced by kind permission of the author -covers similar ground to the research by Richard Spence as presented in Secret Agent 666.

Micah describes the article in Nick Redfern's "Strangest Secrets" blog as: "A while back, I had begun working on an article that dealt with some of the more extraordinary (and in some cases, even paranormal) aspects of James Bond creator Ian Fleming’s career with British Intelligence Services during World War II. As most who have read the novels or studied James Bond’s history otherwise may know, many of Fleming’s experiences in real life later inspired the adventures of the world’s most famous secret agent. The article, however, was never published; therefore, I felt it was perhaps a good time, along with the release of Quantum of Solace in theaters, to present for the first time my original tribute to the 007’s classy creator. As the name implies, 007 and 666: A True Tale of Spies and Sorcery, is indeed based on real events that lead to the capture of the infamous Nazi Rudolph Hess. With a cast of characters that includes Maxwell Knight (then Fleming’s superior officer in MI5), the notorious Aleister Crowley, and Fleming himself, it is by far one of the oddest tales ever to stem from the annals of history."

Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law.

Flaming's inspiration for James Bond was Tricycle. That was the codename used by Dusko Popov, british secret agent. I think he was involved in Rudolf Hess' escape also. Article about him in Wikipedia is here:

Not sure about the suggestion of MI5 involvement -- but wouldn't dispute it, given how dubious all the sources are -- nevertheless generally good that AC is being talked about in terms that indicate his relevance to the politics of his time, rather than a "has been", as has been the case. One question, open for everyone: "Will the whole truth come out, in the end?"

I haven't read "Secret Agent 666" yet, but if the book is half as interesting as this article I'll definitely be picking the book up.
