Ever since he was a teenager filmmaker Gary Parsons has been obsessed with Crowley's Abbey Of Thelema in Cefalu Sicily, this finally lead to him filming there.

This talk presents a history of the Abbey from it's founding by Crowley to its abandonment. It also covers the restoration of the murals by filmmaker Kenneth Anger, how it was adopted by modern occult movements such as Thee Temple Ov Psychick Youth in the 80's and the current sad state of the building now and what it was like to film there.
