Curiously:

Quote:Eccentric Irish aristocrat whose book The Flying Saucers Have Landed underpinned the New Age movement.

DESMOND LESLIE, who has died aged 79, was a celebrated Irish eccentric and self-styled "discologist" best known for his book The Flying Saucers Have Landed (1953), which became a key text of the New Age movement.

And:

Quote:For all his enthusiasm for UFOs, Leslie was no zealot and enjoyed all the pleasures of life, imaginative conversation above all. He published several other books, including Hold Back the Night, and The Jesus File. In 1963, he moved back to Castle Leslie, where in a bid to restore its finances he opened a night club, Annabel's on the Bog, and entertained such house guests as Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger. A gifted musician, he also experimented with Musique Concrete, using samples of recorded natural sounds.

If memory serves, the ever so haunted (it is claimed) Castle Leslie was where Elizabethan bestseller "Faery Queen" penned under the "good" pen-name of one Edmund Spencer is said to have been written. There continues to be a strong body of opinion that the real author was Sir Francis Bacon who was a close and intimate friend of the Elizabethan magus, Dr. John Dee.

I imagine that a bit of sleuthing on the Leslie clan and Leslie Castle may turn up some interesting occult connections - besides it ghosts (which are, of course, attractive for the occult ceremonies anyway).
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
