Jimmy Page is an out and out wierdo. He wont even talk about his personel life because hes embaressed by it---As far as david bowie being crowleys teachings i believe that was around the time of station to station when he was wiped on coke and traveling eastern europe giving the sieg hiel salute. As far as the beatles his picture shows up on the cover of sargent peppers cd thats about it.The stones were into it for a while but after Altamont and the murder i hear they kind of left those beliefs far behind.

Crowley is just yet another perosn in the tradition of the hermetic or secret knowledge. His little play group isn't that much more bizarre than any other hermetic knowledge group like the masons, skull & bones, or your average college frat all of which claim ancient secrets. This sort of "rebellion" from normality has a long history, yet every generation seems to enjoy being shocked anew by the new wave of "secret lore."
Mostly just an excuse to drink, take drugs, and get laid with a little play acting thrown in. Page most likely took it as seriously as they took Tolkien.

What maximum cutting-side pagans do not comprehend is that if it weren't for Aleister Crowley there likely would not be a paganism circulate in the present day. between the early neopagan movements, reported as Wicca, develop into created with the help of one among Crowley's scholars, Gerald Gardner using Crowley's OTO ritual format as a foundation for the recent faith. Crowley once reported "Paganism is healthy because it faces the info of life." were in no longer for Crowley, neopagans would not: call the quarters, draw a ritual circle, draw pentagrams, flow deosil around the circle, say "do what thou will," or "so mote or not it really is," have any sex magick, use the "ok" on the suitable of the note magick to seperate it from what david copperfield does.... and far extra. at the same time as he received't have stayed "pagan" although his life, he develop right into a genius who gave it delivery and made human beings imagine it develop into historic and an unbroken line. without his sacrfices and his insurrection hostile to the church homes of Christ the anti-God, we would not in any respect have developed into our new aeon.

Well, as for Crowley, I don't study his teachings or pay any attention to him. That said, all the people you mentioned, especially Jimmy Page, are far greater and more accomplished people than you or I will probably ever be.

He was a glorified Nietzsche, a godless mystic of the 20th Century. These types of persons have always been influential to creative people throughout history.
