I have been to Boleskine house, still a strange but beautiful place, the house as a isolated feel to it, like it's separate from all the others around it.
Too bad it burnt down but I'm sure you all know that already but it's fishy on the lines of A lightning strike or electrical who knows Some say it was dilibertly burnt down which is just a shame because it's an historical plot of land with the graveyard attached even if Crowley never lived their it was still a very historical plot

He didn't call his own philosophy/religion Crowleyanity, he called it Thelema - Crowleyanity is a word he came up with to deride the slavish way some of his followers regarded him and Thelema, rather too 'faithful' in the manner of Osiris Aeon traditions like Christianity. That's just one of several errors or departures from fact in this doc.
Wilson is wrong. Crowley did own Boleskine. The entire estate was more than two acres too, I have read different estimates, more along the lines of 20 to 30 acres. The skeleton pertains to an earlier phase of Crowley's career, when he was studying Magick with Allan Bennett at Cambridge, and has nothing to do with Boleskine. These people are talking through their hats. Boleskine was not up for sale - Crowley had to offer twice the value of the house in order to get the owner to sell it. The notion that Crowley was a spiritualist is absurd. Crowley reviled spiritualism. Rose did not die of alcohol poisoning, she was committed as a dipsomaniac and remarried after her release. The goat incident was a reenactment of an ancient Egyptian ritual reported by Herodotus, and was not actually consummated. Raoul did not die from drinking blood, but from drinking polluted water (that Crowley had warned him not to drink) while hiking. Crowley emphasized repeatedly that "Do what thou wilt" does NOT mean "Do as you like." Blah blah blah.
When Celia Farts is the greatest piece of poetry ever written.
SuperStrik9 stank skank
My granddad used to beat Crowley at cards a lot. Crowley was hopeless at Crazy Eights.

I'd love to go there, looked for it once while visiting Scotland but could not find it.
I read it burned down twice!

@AquaCF69 No only in the day. And I went in 2013 and 2018.
Rose did not die, crowley had her committed and she later married the doctor who treated her after her release, she died later after

Still not a highland laird though. My grandfather is a lowland laird in Scotland. The rules/protocols go back to the Middle Ages.
"Cursing those that upset him," poor didums. What a purile little man he was.
he is in your garden.
Can't understand a word grandma says
He wasn’t really a highland laird. Crowley was a bit thick.
What a repulsive thing.
