William Buehler Seabrook was a journalist and explorer whose interest in the occult lead him across the globe where he studied magic rituals, trained as a witch doctor, and famously ate human flesh, likening it to veal. Despite his studious accounts of magical practices, he insisted he had never seen anything which could not be explained rationally.

His book on witchcraft is notable for its thoughtful focus on arch-occultist Aleister Crowley, who stayed at Seabrook's home for a short time. ...more

Quotes by William B. Seabrook (?)

“Derrière, surmontant une autre éminence plus élevée, était une tour blanche pointue, semblable à la pointe finement taillée d’un crayon, et d’où partaient des rayons d’une éblouissante lumière qui nous venaient frapper les yeux. La vue m’en donna un frisson d’enthousiaste curiosité, car, quel qu’en pût être exactement l’objet, je savais, à n’en point douter, que c’était une des « Tours de Shaïtan », l’un de ces phares fabuleux dont il est question dans les mythes et les contes persans, arabes et kurdistans. Et je souhaitais ardemment qu’il me fût permis d’en voir l’intérieur.
(Aventures en Arabie.)”
