Notice regarding Black Flag & Naughty Nun New Media.

To whom it may concern,

During the course of the last three years, my health has deteriorated to a point whereby I am no longer physically capable of negotiating the daily challenges associated with Naughty Nun New Media. I have pre-bequeathed all of my books, documents, images and files, etc., to a group collectively known as 'The Boleskine Restoration Project'.

I hope to spend my remaining time on this planet usefully, in the completion of my own book, entitled 'Thelema Revisited - In Search of Aleister Crowley'.

This should be available to order in the near future from all online and real-world bookstores. I sincerely hope the material included in this publication is of interest to aficionados of Mr Crowley and also, is helpful in filling at least some of the holes created by an almost complete absence of information relating to Crowley's Abbey of Thelema, in Cefalu.

I take this opportunity to thank the many individuals and groups who generously provided the diverse knowledge, skills, time, documents and support necessary to ensure the success of Naughty Nun New Media.

Anyone wishing to contact me with reference to the above should 'Click Here'.

Summary of contents:

Illustrations.
Thelema Revisited contains 167 full colour and 32 black &white images. Most of these are previously unseen, unknown and unpublished. Includes:
A complete pictorial record of the Abbey (exterior and interior) as it looks today.
Spectacular views of the Abbey as seen from the top of La Rocca.
A comprehensive gallery charting the deterioration of the wall murals.
Detailed floor plans of the Abbey as it looked at the time of Crowley's residence and how it looks today.
Full colour gallery containing never before seen images of the paintings Crowley created on the panels (six on each side: twelve in total) of the double-door located in the Chambre des Cauchemars.
Many rare and unpublished photographs of the Abbey through the years.
A gallery of previously unpublished photographs taken during Kenneth Anger's visit to Cefalu, in the Summer of 1955.
Pictorial map illustrating the route to the Abbey that Crowley would have walked: including a street map of Cefalu on which all relevant land-based features are marked. Plus, a satellite view of the general vicinity of the Abbey.

History.
A family tree showing the succession of ownership of the Abbey. Including a photograph of Carlos, Barone la Calce (Crowley's landlord).
A summary of the key events which occurred during Crowley's three year and one month long attempt to create his New World Religion on a remote mediterranean fishing village in Sicily. This extends and ties-up many of the .loose ends left by other publications.
A comprehensive and fascinating history of the Abbey and its owners, tenants, visitors and vandals: as recalled by -
....• Lifelong residents of Cefalu.
....• Relatives and friends of local people whose daily lives interacted with Crowley and his Thelemites.
....• Relatives of the owners of the Abbey.
....• The family who currently live next door to the Abbey.

Cefalu.
Entertaining and humorous descriptions of some of the surreal and downright bizarre moments which occurred during my visit to the beautiful, if not truly mysterious and wholly indecipherable island of Sicily.

Ghosts.
A fascinating and extremely eerie story relating to strange goings-on at the Abbey: including not one, but two photographs (taken fifty-two years apart) of 'the ghost of Aleister Crowley'.
