Rites of Eleusis

The Rites of Eleusis were a series of ritual plays created by occultist Aleister Crowley in 1910, inspired by ancient Greek mysteries. Designed to evoke spiritual insight and self-awareness, these performances combined poetry, music, and symbolism to initiate participants into deeper understanding of themselves and universal truths. They aimed to blend art and mysticism, encouraging personal transformation through collective or individual experience. The Rites reflect Crowley's exploration of consciousness and spiritual awakening, emphasizing inner discovery while honoring mystical traditions.
