"In 1942, Aleister Crowley, a British occultist, claimed to have invented the usage of [the 'V for victory' hand-sign used by Churchill] in February 1941 as a magical foil to the Nazis' use of the Swastika. He maintained that he passed this to friends at the BBC, and to the British Naval Intelligence Division through his connections in MI5, eventually gaining the approval of Winston Churchill. Crowley noted that his 1913 publication Magick featured a V-sign and a swastika on the same plate.[33]"
