MarcM Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 I dont think any of them are satanists. Page did buy Alister Crowley's home. He was the leader of The Church of Satan, so I suppose thats where much of that satanist stuff started. Here is a little more info on Robert Johnson: http://www.stormloader.com/users/crossroads/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And here is a bit of some interesting info.. Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page owned Crowley's Loch Ness estate, Boleskine House, from 1971 to 1992. It is also said that on some pressings of the Led Zeppelin III album, one or more Aleister Crowley quotes are scribed into the runoff matrix of the vinyl (the space between the last groove and the label.)

Quicksand - Bowie I'm closer to the Golden Dawn Immersed in Crowley's uniform Of imagery I'm living in a silent film Portraying Himmler's sacred realm Of dream reality I'm frightened by the total goal Drawing to the ragged hole And I ain't got the power anymore No I ain't got the power anymore I'm the twisted name on Garbo's eyes Living proof of Churchill's lies I'm destiny I'm torn between the light and dark Where others see their targets Divine symmetry Should I kiss the viper's fang Or herald loud the death of Man I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought And I ain't got the power anymore Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release I'm not a prophet or a stone age man Just a mortal with the potential of a superman I'm living on I'm tethered to the logic of Homo Sapien Can't take my eyes from the great salvation Of bullshit faith If I don't explain what you ought to know You can tell me all about it On the next Bardo I'm sinking in the quicksand of my thought And I ain't got the power anymore Don't believe in yourself Don't deceive with belief Knowledge comes with death's release This may or may not have anything to do with the conversation...Crowley made me think of it.

Elvish Posted January 6, 2005 Report Share Posted January 6, 2005 Robert Johnson sold his soul to the devil in Rosedale, Mississippi... Highway 61 is one of the roads at the crossroads intersection, not sure of the other one. I know 61 because Bessie Smith was killed in a car accident on that highway - supposedly not too far from where Robert Johnson sold his soul. Where's Bluesy when you need him?
