Деревенька Strathpeffer - не просто = милая, хотя она действительно милая и спокойная, но -- здесь даже в воздухе - замечательном, горном и чистом воздухе витает какой-то странный дух оккультизма, мистики и тайны!
Дьявольская и мистическая личность - оккультист, сатанист, чёрный маг, волшебник-мефистофель и поэт [Aleister Crowley] Алистер Кроули, "коварнейший человек в мире", как его называли и "Зверь 666", как он называл сам себя, основатель учения Телемы и автор оккультных произведений, в том числе «Книги закона». создатель колоды «Таро Тота».... - встретил свою жену Роуз здесь - в Стратпеффере в 1903 году. Она уже была помолвлена, когда они встретились, но сбежала и вышла замуж за Кроули в соседнем городе Дингволл, после их краткого знакомства.
