The Abbey of Thelema is Aliester Crowley's house in Cefalu, Sicily. It was his templeand residence on earth for 3 years. Rumors are many and you choose what to believe in"The Abbey of Thelema is described as a sort of "anti-monastery" where the lives of the inhabitants were "spent not in laws, statutes, or rules, but according to their own free will and pleasure".

Crowley's own murals are unfortunately almost completely gone, but little remains. The walls have got new paintings. It rests a darkness, and a strange light that I didn't see on location. As a photographer I had to fight with the light, the darkness was all too well present ... Early Death Ltd w special guest Mats Grönmark will open the exhibition with dark noise around 20.0666. But the Crowley door will open at 17.0666. The Skeleton factory will swarm and riot The corner before the exhibition, and most likely have intercourse with each other.
