Why the Re-Upload? Because "DANCE ALL DAY Musicvertriebs GmbH" - www.dance-all-day.com/#contact - is fraudulently claiming that my use of 18 seconds of a public domain version of Chopin's Nocturne is under their copyright and @KZbin is doing nothing about it. So, I had to remove my opening sequence and will probably have to have the music re-recorded at my own expense. Please consider supporting the channel over at Patreon so if things like this happen I'll be able to pivot and keep providing this educational content for free. Thanks for the support!

It's very frustrating and unfair.

I was wondering.

[@MADGuy248]

Very unfortunate and frustrating that the first upload has to be taken down for unfair reasons - commenting to boost the video in the algorithm! This interview is very eye-opening and inspiring for an aspiring uk-based cultural heritage practitioner like myself.

[@rmt3589]

What was the reasons? I was surprised too, as I assumed this was a part 2.

[@TheArtofEngineering]

I try and use only KZbin music (as naff as it is). In the past IMovie copyright free has gotten flagged. I also never use the same sound so if something gets nabbed....My whole content doesn't need taking down or cumbersome online edits.

It's a joy when a historic house gets saved. It's great to hear the rest of this old home's history. Such a beautiful setting should insure a great future for the old building.

[@clockworkgnome]

I watched this on the first upload. Great interview, I would love to make it to House Boleskine someday. I’m commenting to hopefully nudge the algorithm. I can’t believe their flagging the intro music 🤦‍♂️

[@jeffbot5275]

Keith gave me a tour of the house back in 2021 when I was hiking up country. super nice bloke, even gave me a lift to the bus stop after 😅

[@emilysymington6382]

I'm from Scotland and agree with Stewart that our esoteric history isnt celebrated enough. I live in Hamilton and an old duke was interred into the local mausoleum in an Egyptian sarcophagus.. i dont know much more than that. I wish it was easier than it is to find out about all this, given it's on my doorstep, it should be!

[@SteveDonaldson-r5k]

Local historical groups or societies are extremely good sources for this type of thing, or even the local library.

[@emilysymington6382]

@@SteveDonaldson-r5k thanks, yes a couple of local people have good blogs that I know of. In the main though, naturally, the focus is on our community history and the more mundane facts about the old aristos ☺️

[@Bildgesmythe]

Absolutely! It's a shame when history is forgotten and lost.

[@nieser2464]

Thanks for the Reupload ❤

[@SteveDonaldson-r5k]

Excellent content as usual, thank you. As a retired site manager and surveyor I found it very interesting to hear about the refurbishment work. For what it's worth, not hiring a site manager to save £40k is a false economy on this type of unique project, you'll waste more than that on screw ups (such as the stated hiring of tradesmen before they can work). While you're at it, these projects always need a clerk of works as well, it prevents things failing in the future and the inevitable expensive court cases to try and recover monies and hiring another contractor to put things right.

[@complimentary_voucher]

Agreed, having done tonnes of DIY and managed my own new build as a layperson, I would definitely hire a real manager to do serious or heritage work, it's mad to think someone outside even just the tradie social circle can wrangle the process without wastage and drama. People underestimate the power of relationships in that field and think they can just click their fingers and make diva plumbers and roofers act in concert. Lol. No.

[@aaronanderson4443]

Have been watching this rebuild since 2020 via Facebook and have seen a wonderful progression over the years. Good to know the rebuild is in great minds and hands.

[@pentegarn1]

I was there about 6 years ago and it was just breathtakingly beautiful. There's was some teenagers doing a seance in the basement when we got there. So we left them alone and I got to do The Star Ruby ritual in the front yard....maybe yards away from where it might have been written? :)

Keep up the great work chaps. I have always wondered that by not completing the Abramelin at Boleskine if Crowley left a Portal open? Would be great if the reopening of the house coincided with ‘revolt of the magicians’ being made into a movie. We have a Crowley house ‘Carn Cottage’ derelict here in Cornwall. Love to the haters and God speed. Steve W Bright Weird

Since it's an 18th century house, is there any chance of it being a recognized/protected historical site?

I have never before made the connection that the "sprawling bungalow" abode Blowne House, inhabited by the renowned occultist Crow (in the first Cthulhu Mythos inspired stories I ever read, by Brian Lumley), must be inspired by Boleskine House and Crowley. It has probably been really obvious to everyone else. 😅

Great interview and update. There’s something there that’s… off, if that makes any sense. That site legit seems cursed, for lack of a better explanation. I’d love to see Esoterica tackle Crowley’s one time heir, Jack Parsons. I know it’s a topic that’s been done to death, but I’d love to see Parsons get the Esoterica treatment (the history, locations, rituals, and especially the texts written by Parsons himself that are not easy to come by). You just have to go easy on the Hubbard part, more or less; the little conspiracy theorist in me thinks that part of the Parsons story is why the series “Strange Angel” never got a third season, lol.

[@mandychartres3033]

It's interesting that you say "bow-less-kin". I've always said "bol-less-k-eye-ne"... I wish I knew someone with an archaic Invernessshire accent who could show us all which one is right.

But, linguistics aside, I'm love to know more about the background of "King of The Witches" Alex Saunders claim that he completed the Abramelin...

It is to think if someone remodeled the property, hypothetically speaking, I mean to go back to doing things that under this new vibration of the world could be feasible and hypothetically available. There are people who know a lot and it doesn't seem crazy to me that someone has the power, hypothetically speaking and with all due respect, to be able to carry out something after a remodel... It is just something very hypothetical and he is not accusing anyone today or saying that someone is going to do it. 😂
