Former Dutch theologian said about Tobias' work for Channel 4 that it would "change the minds of millions". - Gilles Quispel As of 2005, Tobias has lectured at Exeter University where he is an honorary  fellow and faculty member.  He holds an MA in Theology from Brasenose College, Oxford.  Born to an ancient Cheshire family in Sutton Coldfield (UK), Churton is considered Britain's leading scholar of Western Esotericism.  Filmmaker, poet, composer and author, he is known for acclaimed biographies on William Blake, Aleister Crowley, Elias Ashmole and G.I. Gurdjieff.   Having authored over 20 books, Churton's current publication: Aleister Crowley in India goes into the travels Crowley took in this mystical land. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/iantrottier/support
