William Seabrook

William Seabrook was a journalist and explorer whose fascination with the occult led him across the globe. He studied magical rituals, trained as a witch doctor, and famously consumed human flesh, likening it to veal. Despite his meticulous accounts of magical practices, he maintained that he never witnessed anything beyond rational explanation. His book on witchcraft is particularly noted for its thoughtful examination of the prominent occultist Aleister Crowley, who was a brief houseguest.
