The one thing that you didn't mention was Led Zep were pedos, at least the three occultic members were. They were having sex with girls as young as 12. I read a book written by two Led Zep roadies years ago, they openly discussed all the debauchery they saw working for Led Zeppelin. One woman even wrote about her experience of being abducted from a concert by Jimmy Page's security guards when she was 14 years old. They dragged her from the crowd and drove her to a hotel, locked her alone in a room and about an hour later Jimmy Page turned up and had his way with her. The only member of the band the roadies didn't mention much was JPJ, he rather wisely would never ever stay in the same hotel with the rest of his band mates. I'm a pro musician, the entertainment industry is every bit as bad as you can imagine. It's run by a weird ultra-progressive occultist mafia. I love music but I hate the industry.

Restacked! An excellent bit of writing! People are fools who stare too long into the abyss because you don’t know what is staring back. When you blink is when it takes hold of you. I grew up listening to Zeppelin. Heard the rumours of course and dismissed it as hype. Black sabbath? Same thing! Sells records right? No as I’ve returned to Christ, feel the spirit within and see the light and feel warmth, it reminds me of when I fumbled in the dark, alone and unloved. I feel a real dread for any thing Satanic in origin because I now realize it is as real as Christ. When I had my NDE, I retained an image upon regaining consciousness. I know Christ is real. So I know the opposite is as well. Great article and direly needed in this time of unholyweirds continued rituals of the demonic thrown at us daily! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I’m from the Led Zeppelin era and I thank God their music didn’t interest me or any hard rock group for that matter. God protects those who are his. Looking back I recognize that God gives and takes away desires. Probably most rock music is influenced in some way by the occult.

Good article!

Graduated high school in '83 and heard plenty of their stuff. Like you, though, I was never into that genre nearly as much as my classmates.

I think you are spot on about God's protection. My parents were religious, my mom very much so. I grew up at home with classical music in fact, for which I am still very grateful.

To say "most rock music is influenced in some way by the occult" says more about you than about rock music. There's all sorts of people who love and create rock music. Probably most people are good, or at least try to be. And I'd say the same thing about music. If you're lucky, music can take you places you'd never reach otherwise. If it makes you happy (or lifts you out of your blues), it's a good thing. If you pray, remember to thank your God for the music that makes you feel good. Ask Her to help you find more. For some people (including myself), I can't make myself believe in God. But a good song, like Throwing Muses' "Limbobo" or the Verve's "Bitter Sweet Symphony" will take me someplace that feels very close to what religious people must mean by the word "holy."

Very excellent article on Crowley. He was a strange one and he was possessed by Satan. He was the Beast and he was not of this realm. I use to have quite a few books by him, but I disposed of them many years ago. I have studied the Dark realm and it is nothing but evil. I stick with the good side now. I disposed of the book's because I thought they brought evil to me by shear possession of them.

Evil projects itself via physical possession. When you have evil objects they sometimes are cursed. Be careful what you bring into your home. I have dealt with this many times in my life.

My family was deeply rooted in the dark side. my grandparents were in the Masonic lodge and the eastern star. So I am well versed in this. I became a Mason many years ago and I have renounced this! Last year I was looking through some old boxes that my grandparents left me. In this old strong box I found 2 letters stating that my Grandparents had also rejected the masonic temple. I was so happy to find these documents stating this. I use to pray for their souls because I loved them so much. Finding these helped me understand the control that was being issued to them by God and the refusal to do evil.

Remember we are spiritual beings trapped in a physical body, the reason being is flesh is a great teacher if you know what to look for in life. I hope that all that read your excellent site contemplate

the need to look into your soul for guidance and love. We are here for a purpose, the lesson is different for all beings. I hope your path is following the right way

Real Guidance and Love are only found in Yahusha, YHUH's Only Son. My background is similar to yours and when I dropped every bit of the occult, I turned to Yahusha. It was like going from night to day. He is real, He exists/lives and He's calling you to Himself. He will not disappoint! No rituals, no magikal trappings, no spirit guides acting as go+betweens, nothing protective needed to be worn or lit or burned for this meeting. Just Him and you. Talking. Tell Him whatever is on yourind/heart. He's more Real than anyone you've ever met before. This is not about joining any kind of church or denomination. This is about starting a real, ongoing Relationship with The One Who designed you. Try it. He will not disappoint.

Yes.😢 I had an experience recently in at The Lodge Alley Inn, Charleston, SC. I was there with a friend, she and I both are Christians. She showed me a painting on her phone, and said “how creepy is this?” I immediately saw evil in it and turned away. Within minutes, strange things started happening. We didn’t realize we both were experiencing things, but seeing different things. Later that evening in the room, it became elevated, to the point “I yelled, “We need to pray, and we did!” We both felt a peace, and didn’t pack up. As we shared our experiences, we both said, “it felt like we were in a movie, but not a good one”. I can’t say here what made me yell “we need to pray” in fear of sounding completely crazy…but it was real. We have to protect our minds, those forces are out there, just waiting. 😢

It’s always so apparent that the darkness always consumes itself. Demons fight amongst themselves for dominance, and in the end destroy each other. This isn’t hard to grasp as there is no love, no peace, in darkness, only the constant climbing over one another to get to the top. Just the opposite of what Jesus did, he laid down his life that we all might live.

The Stones, The Doors, and Led Zep did many Willie Dixon covers. Wonder what that was all about

Stairway to Heaven should have been woven into your story. It's thee granddaddy of ALL rock songs. Saw Page w/The Firm in OKC 1986. When he did the violin bow solo w/the green laser effects the sheer wailing of the CROWD would have blown your minds if present. UK artist were Tavistock programed. The bigger the hit or longevity, the more likely. Black Sabbath! Deep Purple. Iron Madien. Ozzy's wife & father-in-law.

The four symbols on the Led Zeppelin IV album have been controversial to many. Adds Robert Plant: "Each of us decided [at the behest of Page?] to go away and choose a metaphysical type of symbol which somehow represented each of us individually; be it a state of mind, an opinion, or something we felt strongly about, or whatever. Then we were to come back together and present our symbols."

Jimmy Page designed his very own symbol (Zoso). Though it resembles the alchemical symbol for Saturn, its meaning remains a mystery. The most recent fandom theory is that it symbolizes a near-death or Tantric sex experience to unify the worlds of the living and the dead, and thus to reveal the secrets of the universe.

John Paul Jones' symbol (circle over three interlocking ovals) Comes from Rudolf's Koch's "the book of signs" which says the sign was used to exorcise evil spirits and represent the holy trinity by Christians in the ancient times up to the middle age. Interesting that JPJ chose a Christian symbol, and refused to participate in the ritual that Page allegedly wanted to perform, to summon ancient entities.

John Bonham's symbol (three interlocking circles) was used by the early Christians to represent the holy trinity and comes from the same book referenced above.

Robert Plant's symbol (circle around a feather) features the feather of Ma'at, the Egyptian goddess of justice and fairness. Plant says the symbol he created was drawn from sacred symbols of the ancient Mu civilization, a fantastical place that supposedly existed until 14,000 years ago. The last remnants are said to be the primitive statues at Easter Island. Plant has recently registered his feather/circle symbol from Led Zeppelin’s fourth album as a trademark.

Fascinating that Robert Johnson is a member of the ’27 Club’, which includes Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Brian Jones, Jimi Hendrix, and Curt Cobain, to name a few from memory!

Any that make it to the elite level have to perform rituals that basically sell their souls, and take the life of someone close to them.

You had me from word one. Fascinating account about a very interesting subject; rock icons, Crowley, and magick!

This article reminds me of what was a common belief at the time when L. Z. was the top band. Their success came from a deal they made with the devil based solely on how rumors spread among young listeners. It was talked about anytime the subject came up in school or get-togethers. Seeing the seeming satanic possession all around us now, it certainly seems possible even if something no sane person would want to believe or admit.

The occult and magic was big back in the 60's and early 70's. Everyone that smoked pot read Carlos Castenada's Journey to Ixtlan. May explain why 50 years later I am Wiccan, White Magic. Here is a Substack I did about Led Zeppelin six months ago. https://substack.com/home/post/p-177333060

Anyone who reads - and believes - the Bible to be the Word of God understands all of this very well. When a person opens a spiritual door to the enemy of our souls, they are giving that enemy permission to destroy them. And he will.

Your comment about Robert Johnson practicing voodoo "right" could be seen in this light as a very irresponsible statement. Voodoo is extremely dangerous, because this practice opens those same doorways, and if your readers are left to think that there is a "right way" to go about it and decide to try it, they will be destroyed in the same way as Plant and his bandmates. No question. The devil NEVER wastes an opportunity to destroy those who rebel against God's laws, which are communicated to us clearly and succinctly as found in the Bible - in order to keep us safe from the enemy (satan means enemy, fyi).

To be anti-Christ is to be pro-satan. Which is basically self-destruction.
