I'm quite surprised at the lukewarm response to Peter Jackson's appointment on here. He may be Mr International Film Whizz now, but he did make "Heavenly Creatures" and "Forgotten Silver", two very NZ films. I watched Forgotten Silver again a couple of weeks ago and thought it an extremely clever and insightful 'mockumentary' that showed Jackson and Costa Botes are well aware of our history, both film and social.
Do you think he is out of touch with grass roots film making?

Do you think Crowley gave Jimmy those deamonic guitar solo's?.
Or not?.i dunno about Jimmy channelling Crowley, but he bought Crowley's old house on the banks of Loch Ness and apparently...
Since Crowley had lived there, it had been the site of a notorious swindle involving many of the local farmers and a fictitious pork sausage works. Everybody on the Loch thought the place was haunted and bad news. Jimmy Page, longing for a countryseat, thought it was perfect."
the great sausage swindle of Loch Ness sounds a bit Pythonesque!

Aha! That's where I've made the connection in the past - with Havelock North and Whare Ra. Some ceramic tilework that looks pretty spacey in that house I recall. The Theosophy thing was quite strong in HN, all New Age before anyone else.
The Golden Dawn also had something to do with the design of some Tarot cards, both the Rider pack and Crowley's pack. It's all related, isn't it? Theosophy, Golden Dawn, Qabalah? Just that Crowley was off on his own little trip as well.
And I do recall that Jimmy Page was into Crowley etc. -
Satanists think there is some power in saying the Lord's Prayer backwards, then reversed speech would also have some effect ...
What utter rot. Hang on, I'll try it in front of a mirror and see if I sprout horns and a tail.
I've always meant to delve into Aleister Crowley and the Golden Dawn though, I did hunt out some stuff years ago, but buggered if I can remember what it amounted to now. I suspect, not much.

Thanks for the update, Hilary. Haven't had my usual going-into-winter flu & I figured the old bod was waiting for mid-semester to crash. I think I'd rather get swine flu sooner rather than later. It will zoom through universities, hospitals, railway stations etc.

That ad doesn't bother me, just don't start on body-part enhancements, weight loss, or Dancing with the Dorks.
