Stalwart effort! Will be fascinating to know what you found amusing!
Not sure if you're taking the piss or not, but anyway...

Jimmy Page and David Bowie were friends,
I'm pretty sure that the opposite is more factual. Where did you get that idea? If it was by association with Thelema, then no. When they eventually met, they butted heads in a pretty direct fashion. Bowie was only dabbling with magic, but Jimmy was a dedicated Thelemite / Crowleyite and a routine based magician. Probably still is.

There's an anecdote in my Bowie bio (1988 Peter and Leni Gilman) where the two met in some apartment and stared each other out for a prolonged period. Page said stuff this, I'm leaving. Bowie said yeah why don't you take the window. Not so friendly.

Do you think they'd accept an offer on just the 'infamous Satanist'?

I already have a home and I can't speak Scottish.
 
There is a lot of discussion as to what Uncle Al (I'm going to call him that for a long time). There are arguments that he was one of the following:
*Playing with ancient Egyptian faith
*A true worshipper of Satan
*An incredibly blasphemous Christian
*An Assassin's Creed Templar.

Top ten Crowley myths. I was particularly interested in the first one as I recall reading somewhere many many years ago that AC wrote the rituals for Gardner. I was quite dismissive of Witchcraft after as I thought if the whole of the Gardnerian/Alexandrian Witchcraft revival is based on the writings of a hired author then the whole thing is a farce.
The article above hasn’t really altered my thoughts.
 
Another fire at chez Crowley
New fire rips through historic Boleskine House

Firefighters have tackled another blaze at the ruined former home of notorious occultist Aleister Crowley.
Boleskine House along, overlooking Loch Ness, was badly damaged by a blaze in 2015 and the ruin was sold earlier this year.
Crowley was said to have performed occultist rituals at the property when he lived there between 1899 and 1913
