SUMMARY:The Centre of a Thousand Legends: A Brief History of Boleskine House and Aleister Crowley
DESCRIPTION:The Centre of a Thousand Legends: A Brief History of Boleskine House and Aleister Crowley \nThis presentation offers a brief history of Boleskine House\, located on the southern shore of Loch Ness\, in the central Scottish Highlands. Commissioned by Archibald Campbell Fraser (1736–1815)\, son of the infamous Simon Fraser\, Lord Lovat\, and completed with Masonic honours in 1809\, Boleskine House already had a strange\, perhaps even notorious history\, and decidedly even more so during and after Aleister Crowley’s tenure. \nA year after joining the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn\, Crowley purchased the property in 1899 for the ‘sole’ purpose of undertaking a magical rite known as the Abramelin ritual\, an operation aimed at coming into contact with his Holy Guardian Angel\, or inner genius. \nDrawing upon extensive research undertaken for a forthcoming publication\, I will delve into the reasons why Boleskine House was chosen by a young practitioner of the occult\, why it was so important during his formative years and thereafter\, and will attempt to disambiguate fact from fiction. \nAndrew Wiseman is a cultural historian\, specialising in the Scottish Highlands from the late medieval to the modern period\, who has developed a keen interest\, perhaps even an unhealthy one\, in Boleskine House and its long-held association with the iconoclastic occultist Aleister Crowley. He is currently editing a number of works\, and has authored around twenty chapters and articles as well as numerous blogs and mainstream publications. As author of the forthcoming title Lord Boleskine: Aleister Crowley and the House of the Beast 666\, a detailed and engaging account of Crowley’s residence at his Highland home will be offered as well as the controversial legacy which he left in his wake.
