Interesting! I went into and walked around Boleskin House and the gardens last year, it was all fenced off, but managed to get in. It didn't feel very "spooky", but the side of the house that is still somewhat intact did, but that was just because it was dark in there probably!

Interesting place to visit though! I found an old suitcase from 1948 I think it was, I knew the date because the travel ticket was still attached. Wish I remembered to take some pictures of it.

I have worked at Boleskin house decades ago and walked through the place and felt nothing Jimmy page owned the place at the time ,but i spoke with a caretaker many moons ago and him and his wife hated the place as they recounted to me many tales that put the freighters up them .

Crowley left a few bastard children in that area

They are real sick puppies

Maybe the negative entities there saw you as a friend, and so they didn't bother you. Hopefully that isn't true, but I have seen it happen before.

You just never know in this crazy old world

i scared away a ghost or what ever years ago in a place i stayed , i simply explained to it if it was going to be there any longer i wanted rent money and stop freighting my pets and it vanished

That is outstanding, most people would have panicked in great fear. I too have spoken to ghosts that tried to scare me when I was younger. I laughed at one and apologized to another one once. Just talking honestly can change the whole thing.
Most people, especially skeptics who say they don't exist, and then have a spirit mess them up real bad will go to pieces and be mentally traumatized for years after an experience.

I am glad you have it.

imho fear seems to be the key for some reason and running water /granite and sandstone , I used to be sceptical until it started going on around me and my pets went nuts the cat fled the house and would never come back in after one incident if it wasn't for their reaction i would have put it down to me smoking a joint or 2 a week back then and going a bit nuts but nobody stayed in that property for more than a few weeks before fleeing it was hundreds of years old and used to be a stable for a Duke but bad stuff had gone down there in the highland clearances and someone burned to death the old woman everyone saw .

I got sick of doors opening , milk going flying across a kitchen and loud footsteps on the stairs stuff ,i lost my rag with it and stopped being scared and it vanished , that was decades ago now and since then nothing but when i moved into my current property 3 years ago for about a month i had a feeling i was being watched the house is not that old 1950-60s but is what we call a pensioners place so plenty have died over the years but i know through plenty of experience to listed to that little voice it has always saved me with the drug squad yip they were watching on multiple occasions

Just been to take the box to a antiques guy and he said this about it.


1)Hand carved/handmade
2)dark wood, possibly from the holy land(like a gift item) and the wood is probs Laburnum
3) it’s self isn’t worth a great deal as he said again it looks like a gift that comes from the holy land.
4) maybe a cigar, cigarette, card box.

a reply to: rikgrimsby also the the age is prob 1940s/1950s but age as it is 30/40 years with the wax on

a reply to: rikgrimsby

Of course it was hand carved I could've told you that.
Does it have any signs of ever having a lock on it?
I don't buy the initials carved into such a fine work by
AC. He placed great value on everything he possessed.
So that in no way says he didn't own this piece and someone
else put the initials there because he did own it. If you haven't
opened it please don't. The world has enough problems.

Here is the 3 video I’ve done. It explains what the antiques guy said.

Hope you’re all ok. I’ve recently received a “dybbuk box” from Boleskin house where Aleister Crowley and jimmy page use to own and live. I’ve researched it and the box seems to be real and not a fake. Here is a video of it

youtu.be...

no offense but if its recovered from the fire, it looks nothing like something that has the smoke or fire damage that, or any other place had.......I dunno what to say other than either you got hosed, or youre being cheeky, and your antiques guy ehhhh.....anyone can carve something to look particular, most places you visit in the middle east carve things to make them look old......we have the same sort of thing here in the southwest of th US, made like old Native American style, but still made last year....

Also a Dybbuk box is much larger.....and the star is carved wrong, no serious practitioner would have carved that wrong.......

No offense i think not but hey, its a great story, nice touch with the wax, and I dont really buy you could see through that gap with a torch and read the penny inside.......but hey all fun

a reply to: rikgrimsby
Crack it open.
What's the worst that could happen.

My guess is it will be a map.
Gotta keep the story moving.

If you are legit and got your own hellraiser box I apologise for encouraging your suicide.

This is insulting how fake this is

a reply to: rikgrimsby

I find the hexegram odd , in that the circle is drawn perfectly but the parallel lines that normally form a hexegram
are slightly off , normally they are symmetrical

maybe that is a clue

a reply to: sapien82 in what way odd? Any help is muchly appreciated

a reply to: rikgrimsby
I would be more interested if the box had a Unicursal Hexagram on the lid:-
en.wikipedia.org...
However Crowley was known for calling up Choronzon, i have known a few demons as an investigator, you don't want one in your house:-

I thought poem below might stop you opening the box:-

Cornelius Agrippa; A Ballad,
of a Young Man that would Read Unlawful Books, and how he was Punished'

by Robert Southey (pp. 452-453)

CORNELIUS AGRIPPA went out one day;
His study he lock'd ere he went away,
And he gave the key of the door to his wife,
And charged her to keep it lock'd on her life.

"And if any one ask my Study to see,
I charge you to trust them not with the key;
Whoever may beg, and entreat, and implore,
On your life let nobody enter that door."

There lived a young man in the house, who in vain
Access to that Study had sought to obtain;
And he begg'd and pray'd the books to see,
Till the foolish woman gave him the key.

On the Study-table a book there lay,
Which Agrippa himself had been reading that day;
The letters were written with blood therein,
And the leaves were made of dead men's skin;-

And these horrible leaves of magic between
Were the ugliest pictures that ever were seen,
The likeness of things so foul to behold,
That what they were is not fit to be told.

The young man he began to read
He knew not what; but he would proceed,
When there was heard a sound at the door
Which, as he read on, grew more and more.

And more and more the knocking grew;
The young man knew not what to do;
But, trembling, in fear he sat within,
Till the door was broke, and the Devil came in.

Two hideous horns on his head he had got,
Like iron heated nine times red-hot;
The breath of his nostrils was brimstone blue,
And his tail like a fiery serpent grew.

"What wouldst thou with me?" the Wicked One cried,
But not a word the young man replied;
Every hair on his head was standing upright,
And his limbs like a palsy shook with affright.

"What wouldst thou with me?" cried the Author of ill;
But the wretched young man was silent still;
Not a word had his lips the power to say,
And his marrow seem'd to be melting away.

"What wouldst thou with me?" the third time he cries,
And a flash of lightning came from his eyes,
And he lifted his griffin claw in the air,
And the young man had not strength for a prayer.

His eyes red fire and fury dart
As out he tore the young man's heart;
He grinn'd a horrible grin at his prey;
And in a clap of thunder vanish'd away.

THE MORAL

Henceforth let all young men take heed
How in a Conjurer's books they read.

Westbury, 1798

So yesterday I went on to your video and there were a lot of comments challenging your assertions, why did you delete them all? It seems a bit dishonest to do so, if youre being honest yourself, you should at least be able to refute them or explain them away.

a reply to: ManBehindTheMask you posted them on part one not part 3.

originally posted by: rikgrimsby
a reply to: ManBehindTheMaskive not removed them, you posted them on part one not part 3. Also I’ve. It made it all myself like you’re thinking. I’ve got all the messages from the seller from eBay which go back around 4/5weeks too. I’m not fussed you think it’s fake as that’s your choice.

a reply to: rikgrimsby

well it looks like its not drawn like a normal hexegram or the Unicursal hexegram which crowley would often draw as he was into thelema right ?

Unicursal hexegram

in any case the fact that its a hexegram and on a box , well they say its the seal of solomon and solomon was known apparently for binding spirits with the signet ring with a hexegram on it

maybe its off symetrically for a reason

a reply to: sapien82 it’s not crowleys..... I’ve never said it was. A homage maybe yes but crowleys no. As I’ve said I have all messages from the seller. Even Boleskine house says. It’s possible as the drawing room was one of the two rooms with the doors boards up.

I didnt post anything, im following the link back

Its the exact same link

But the posters are right, it feels like youre trying to get views then sell this, is this your objecvitve.

Again you deleted all the posts refuting your claims, you can say what you want, but everything comes from the original link to the vid in this post , the first one and you keep deleting them

a reply to: ManBehindTheMask no I didn’t delete. Your posts are on part one as I’ve took screen shots

a reply to: rikgrimsby

Aye I ken you said it wasn't his I watched your videos, i'm just saying that crowley used the unicursal hexegram
the star of david or solomons seal , both are drawn with symmetry however this hexegram is not
maybe its a clue

just a thought
