Magickal places in europe

once im done with school (3 weeks of schools, then 6 weeks of exam leave) i have 12 weeks before i go to university me and some friends are doing the cliched european travel thing...weve decided on a general route, but were all chosing one place to visit for a while..my catholic friend has chosen rome, my hippy freind amsterdam (we was gonna go there anyways) and the rest of us are undecided...i wanna go somewhere magicky or of magickal significance. I was thinking of alastair Crowley's house in italy (where he did loadsa weird shit)

any suggestions?...we all live in scotland...and were going fairly direct to the continent, so nothing on the GB isles... i might go up to orkney on me own and camp out in the middle of a stone circle for a few day...orkney's great, go there if yeh can...loadsa stone circles, burial tombs and the like, and they usually have few people there.

Rennes le chateau.

Have you been to Rosslyn Chapel near Edinburgh?

Prague,for the gothic architecture.

There are "boat-shaped" (elliptical) standing stone formations in Sweden, not far from where Tycho Brahe's observatory island lies (where Kepler made his big observations that turned out to prove we're in elliptical orbits around the sun).
It's a lovely country in summer, but if you're from Scotland, it's probably fairly similar.

The Black Forest is nice. And Munich. The biggest city in Bavaria.

i do like the scandanavian countries (probably cos im 6"2 with long blonde hair) went to denmark not that long ago, i could go to legoland and see if the god of bricks will return a favour i did him a few years back involving falling bricks and concussion.

wait a sec, i remember Rosslyn Chapel, it was really interesting... those poor templers, if they knew they'd spawn the masons, i reckon they'd liquidise before the some pope did it for em.

Go to The last stand of the Cathars. I think its called Mont Segur in France.

Also Chatres Cathedral in France, sorry not sure about which provence it's in. Apparently built on a goddess site and has a wonderful mosaic floor with a miz-maze which was used in earlier times as a way to go on pilrimage to the Christian holy land for those who couldn't get there.

i'm actually planning on going to rennes le chateau in june myself. has anyone here been there? is it worth the trek? does it spawn secret society / buried treasure misadventure or is it just a crumbly old building with nothing going on? i've have some amazing books about it with massive topographic maps drawing 45 mile long pentagrams and so on, but i'm worried that in reality it'll just be a grassy knob somewhere in france. anyone have some first hand excitement to report about it?

it's also in Holy Blood, Holy Grail, i think... the book i was referring to above is called GENISIS by david wood, this beautiful crackpot tome with all these incredible maps. you'll find mention of it in wilson's conspiracy encyclopedia under lots of things, including "blue noon apples."
