IT’S a sport that’s as old as the hills, frequently associated with strapping Highland and Islands lads chasing a cork and leather ball around the pitch with a wooden stick called a caman. But the ancient game of shinty – camanachd – is also popular amongst exiled Scots and others in London and elsewhere across England. For more than 200 years, London Camanachd kept the sport and culture alive, apart from a couple of spells when the club folded but later reformed after being established in 1874. Its most recent rise from the ashes was in 2004 when it formed both women’s and men’s teams and the club currently holds the English League title.

Aleister Crowley (1875-1947) - mystic, writer, poet, astrologer, sexual revolutionary, painter, mountain climber and social critic - has a terrifying reputation. The contemporary press labelled him the wickedest man in the world , while he called himself the great beast . Crowley dabbled in the occult, supported Germany in the First World War, was addicted to opiates, and many who associated with him died tragically in mysterious circumstances. Working from the starting point that behind the demonic reputation there stood a human being, and that beyond the self-proclaimed black magician there was a man hungry for publicity and fame, Roger Hutchinson lifts the smokescreen of mythology to reveal a truly astonishing figure.
