Breaking Down the Temple Door: by Dr Richard Kaczynski

2014 Lecture by Dr Richard Kaczynski introducing Aleister Crowley's The Rite of Mars for deluxe ticket holders to the 6th
Annual Esoteric Book Conference in Seattle, Washington. https://vimeo.com/121432336

On September 6, 2014, Richard Kaczynski had the challenge and pleasure of warming up the audience of the Esoteric Book Conference for a performance of Aleister Crowley's "The Rite of Mars" interpreted as a rock opera by Eleusyve Productions. This was rock-and-roll theater, so he shot for something both informative and entertaining with his "Breaking Down the Temple Door: Aleister Crowley's Reinvention of Ceremonial Magick through 'The Rites of Eleusis.'" To celebrate next week's DVD release of this rock opera, Eleusyve Productions has shared this video of Richard's talk from that special night. Enjoy!  Thanks to Bob Jones for editing this together, to Jon Sewell and everyone else at Eleusyve Productions for putting this out, and to Catamara Rosarium, William Kiesel, and everyone else at the Seattle Esoteric Book Conference for the opportunity to speak at their always-great event.
