Gerald Yorke was a friend and disciple of Aleister Crowley (The Beast 666, etc.) and amassed a vast collection of Crowley relics after the infamous occultist died in 1947. Julian Doyle, director of the recent Crowley-themed horror film Chemical Wedding, (based on Iron Maiden’s singer Bruce Dickinson magnificent solo album of the same name) recently visited Yorke’s son JohnO. Doyle even got to hold, er, Crowley’s magick wand. Chemical Wedding director uncovers Crowley’s wand & relics
As an aside, the album that the movie is based on ‘The Chemical Wedding’ is probably one of the best things Bruce Dickinson has ever done. (And I’m including Samson & Iron Maiden in this). It is a bona fide classic Metal album and also features Maiden guitarist Adrian Smith throughout. Get it. Check it out. And come back to me and tell me just how brilliant it is. I guarantee it.
