Nice little place.... so Crowley hung out here for a while, eh? I've never been to Europe, let alone Sicily.

I once saw the large black house that's in that part of SF up the hill from Haight & Fillmore where Anton Lavey supposedly lived. This was about 13 years ago. The house seemed to be in good enough condition but the shutters on every window were closed... Creepy!

I can't say I am either; just a bit of Satanic trivia I thought I'd throw in. Just out of curiosity, what is it that you dislike or find otherwise unappealing about Lavey? I don't know all that much about him..

Actually a woman named Blanche Barton runs it now.    Not a big Levay fan either, but I think he was funny, and I liked the way he bothered and scared christians.

I dunno, I guess I just found his books rather dissapointing ( I say books but only read one) He just struck me as a charlatan, when I expected him to be the real deal..Back when stuff like that seemed important to me. :lol:
 But anything that aggrivates the public is good by me, ya know.
