In 1918, the famous English occultist Aleister Crowley performed weird occult rituals in New York while absolutely off his head on drugs

Crowley made a painting of the entity, which he called ‘LAM’ – and his fans later linked the painting with planets beyond Pluto, Paranoia magazine reports.

Could the occultist have summoned UFOs to our world, via some kind of inter-dimensional portal thing?

Maybe so, reckons Paranoia magazine, which analysed claims that Crowley may have made contact with aliens in 1918 – and birthed the whole UFO thing.

Crowley, author of ‘Diary of a Drug Fiend’ was described as ‘the wickedest man in the world’, and is still a cult figure, immortalised in songs such as Ozzy Osbourne’s Mr Crowley.

Nigel Watson, author of the UFO Investigations Manual, says, ‘I don’t think this convincingly shows that the alien greys are visiting due to magical incarnations initiated 100 years ago.

‘What it does indicate is our fascination with extraterrestrial entities is long-standing and how Kenneth Grant linked Crowley’s LAM vision with a trans-Plutonian planet and this progressed to incantations to open portals to allow ETs to visit us.
