Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maiden wrote a screenplay that will be filmed - on the life of Aleister Crowley.
I think my awesomeness meter just blew to smithereens.
It was back in 1904 that colorful Brit Aleister Crowley had what he describes as a mystical experience in Cairo, Egypt. Figuring that his wife's sudden strange behavior on holiday was due to contact with some mysterious entity, Crowley summoned up the Egyptian god Heron, who further took hold of his spouse and through her told him a new magical era had begun and that he was destined to be its prophet. For our money, that should be the opening scene of Chemical Wedding, a film about Crowley currently shooting that was written by Iron Maiden lead singer Bruce Dickinson.
Not sure who this "Heron" fellow is - Crowley made invocations to Horus, not some deity named "Heron."
Either they mean an obscure Thracian god, the bird or Gil-Scott Heron. I have to admit that having Crowley invoke Gil Scott-Heron, while hardly historically, mythologically or factually accurate would be pretty badass. "The New Aeon will not be televised!"
