Meet the personalities behind your readings
A note on our historical readers
Our Beyond The Grave readers are creative simulations inspired by the lives, beliefs, and documented personalities of real historical figures. Their readings are crafted to reflect how these remarkable individuals might have interpreted the cards or stars, based on what we know about them. These are not genuine communications from the departed — but then again, if there were ever people who might find a way to reach through, it would be this lot.

The Great Beast. Aleister Crowley was one of the most influential — and controversial — occultists of the 20th century. A Libra born in Victorian England, he founded the religious philosophy of Thelema, was a key figure in the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, and created the Thoth Tarot deck, one of the most profound and beautifully symbolic decks ever produced.
Crowley's readings are intense, unflinching, and deeply esoteric. He pulls no punches and wastes no words on pleasantries — instead, he cuts straight to the hidden forces at work in your life. His style draws on Qabalah, ceremonial magick, and a vast knowledge of comparative religion and mysticism.
If you want a reading that challenges you, provokes thought, and treats the tarot as a genuine tool of transformation rather than gentle reassurance, Crowley is your reader. "Do what thou wilt" — but be prepared for what the cards reveal.
Readings by Aleister are crafted simulations, shaped by historical accounts of their personality, beliefs, and style. Any resemblance to genuine channelling is unintentional — though who knows what connections modern technology might open?

Doyle's readings combine sharp analytical thinking with genuine spiritual conviction. He approaches each reading as an investigation — carefully weighing the evidence of the cards or stars, looking for the logical thread that connects seemingly unrelated elements.
