Within esoteric circles Frieda Harris is recognized for her role as Aleister Crowley’s ‘artist executant’ for The Book of Thoth. However, to-date, very little has been written about Frieda herself and how she became embroiled with ‘the wickedest man in the world’.
In this talk, author and scholar Dr. Deja Whitehouse will describe what led her to Frieda and how she came to write The Lady and the Beast. She will outline the structure of the book and explain the rationale behind it, including pertinent extracts that showcase diverse aspects of Frieda’s character and approach to art and magick.
Following a 25 year career in business analysis and training consultancy, Deja Whitehouse returned to academia in 2016, completing her PhD at the University of Bristol in January 2020. Her thesis, In Search of Frieda Harris, explores various aspects of Harris’s life in comparison with her female esoteric contemporaries.
During her studies, she was engaged by the Warburg Institute to catalogue the Frieda Harris papers held in the Yorke Collection. Deja also produced an edited consolidation of Harris’s correspondence with Crowley.
Deja has published various book chapters and journal articles, and presented her research at venues as diverse as the Theosophical Society in Edinburgh, the Glastonbury Occult Conferences, the Magickal Women Conferences, the Trans-States Conferences, Treadwell’s Occult Bookshop, London, and online to O.T.O. Austria.
Her monograph on Frieda Harris, The Lady and the Beast: the Extraordinary Partnership between Frieda Harris and Aleister Crowley, was published by Oxford University Press’s Oxford Studies in Western Esotericism in December 2024.
