Aleister Crowley's Abbey of Thelema for sale

The villa near the town of Cefalu, in Sicily, which Aleister Crowley used as the base for his Abbey of Thelema, is up for sale.

Although the building is now dilapidated, it is on the market for €1.5 million (£1.2 million) because of its association with the famous (some would say infamous) British occultist.

I do hope it gets bought by someone who will do it up and use it for an appropriate purpose :)
