This is very interesting I'd be interested to know how they know Page is still a member of the Crowleyite OTO though Supposedly not, although I think he still considers himself a "Thelamite" from things I have seen and read , The OTO tangles itself up with legal battles over what is the "real" lineage anyway. Page was involved supposedly with the California based "Agape" Lodge. It's a big cash cow as regards copyright of Crowley works and I think that is all that matters to those currently running the organisation. Page was a huge collector though of "Crowleyana" which will no doubt all come back on the market after his death, although I think he is more of a collector of another occult artist, Austin Osman Spare who Psychic TV have used his artwork on the album "Allegory And Self" .jpg?mode=max) |

Yeah he's well into Austin Osman Spare.
And also Edward Burne Jones . I saw some of his Page owned tapestries at Tate Britain a few years ago.

Does anyone here believe in all that Crowley stuff ? Seems a bit of a charlatan to me.

I went to a Spare exhibition myself a few years back and was very tempted to buy a cheaper one, but my wife would've killed me. He is long overdue proper recognition in the art world who are snooty of his occult connections. killed me. |

Does anyone here believe in all that Crowley stuff ? Seems a bit of a charlatan to me. Crowley's life has to be taken in two halves really. The period up to the first World war when he was an adventurer/ explorer/ mountaineer and all round polymath with the ability to take on board many Eastern and Western mystery traditions and merge them to a degree. Could almost call his workings a form of dramatic psychology with the intent of producing the best "you". After the end of the first war he strayed onto the path of creating a religion of the will, "Thelema" based on the "93 current" (will and love, thelema and agape both equal 93 using the greek system of numerology known as Isopsephy), the seedy sex magic involved had very little to do with previous work and was more about Crowley's libertine tendencies than anything else. when he got bored and thrown out by Mussolini he drifted around Germany and paris always searching for funds before living out his days in Hastings. If you take out the worst bits of the man he is without doubt one of the last great English eccentrics and (yes even) genius figures from that Fin de siècle period at the end of the 19th Century. Charlatan? I don't think so as I don't believe he ever knowingly misled in what he told others, his beliefs were firm and never waivered throughout his life. |

Crowley is in that top 100 Britons poll thing the BBC did around 2001.
Mind you so are Lydon and Beckham.
I have the Equinox (Page's publishing house) reproduction of Goetia Lesser Key of Solomon which Crowley also published . It instructs on conjuring dozens of demons but I haven't had time to do that what with the spring cleaning due to my landlord inspection.😁😀

If you're referring to Jimmy Page's girlfriend, Bowie was there first  |

From many bootlegs, I've noticed that Plan't vocals always seem croaky on his first few songs live. Zep always needed a few numbers to get their groove thang going.

The first cut from Raise The Roof, the follow-up to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss’ 2007 record Raising Sand, an album that Jimmy Page can’t encounter without shaking his fist at because it’s probably the reason why Plant never signed up to a full Led Zep reunion tour.

Raising Sand is a brilliant album, it far transcends just being labelled bluegrass.
Looking forward to the new one though the original Lucinda Williams Can't Let Go can never be bettered.
