manbearpig Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 just wondering if anyone could tell me what the winged guy doing the leap of faith, and the old guy carrying a bundle of stick means? cant find it anywhere and when i asked someone they just looked at me like i was stupid Quote
theycallmethehunter Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 The old guy with the faggot is called The Hermit. He's on a tarot card (and someone please help me if Im wrong!!)... Ummm He represents giving and taking from the land, a healthy cycle, which most dont do..and something else.. And isnt there a story how Jimmy just found that picture at an antique or something shop? Quote
lzfan715 Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Actually if I recall correctly, I could be wrong, so someone correct me. But I think that the picture is just a picture that Robert found at an antique sale. I don't think he is the Hermit, the Hermit is on the inside at the top of the mountain. I do believe that the guy with the faggot represents giving and taking heathly from the land. Quote
theycallmethehunter Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 ...It was Robert? I thought it was Jimmy who found it.. Erg.. I need to go do some research Quote
glicine Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 ...It was Robert? I thought it was Jimmy who found it.. Erg.. I need to go do some research Robert found it, IIRC. Quote
theycallmethehunter Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Robert found it, IIRC. Uhhh... whats IIRC mean??.. Im never good with abbreviations Quote
glicine Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Uhhh... whats IIRC mean??.. Im never good with abbreviations Oops, sorry, I should be more clear about this. IIRC stands for If I Recall/Remember Correctly. Quote
theycallmethehunter Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 Oops, sorry, I should be more clear about this. IIRC stands for If I Recall/Remember Correctly. Oh thanks .. Lol dont be sorry, Im slow when it comes to things like that.. Quote
slave to zep Posted March 15, 2009 Posted March 15, 2009 manbearpig, i think there is a few answers about these ( and others ) buried within these threads. a member who doesnt visit here anymore by the name of evster 2012 has answered all these questions in detail. he has done lots of research, and i believe his explainations are correct. just do a bit of reading through the forum and i am sure you will find some answers.

manbearpig Posted March 16, 2009 Author Posted March 16, 2009 thankyou i will look further through the past posts to find out more Quote
feather in the wind Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 the winged 'guy' is 'the flight of icarus'. when he flew too close to the sun, he burned. Quote
Heartbreaker_Girl Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 the winged 'guy' is 'the flight of icarus'. when he flew too close to the sun, he burned. Isn't there an old story about that?? I thought it was "Evening: Fall of Day", a kitschsodden oil painting of the sun god Apollo by a 19th century American artist named William Rimmer. Which became the logo for Swan Song. Please correct me if I am wrong. Quote

Heartbreaker_Girl Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 The painting is indeed by William Rimmer, who but never stated the name of the figure. I have memorized every word in the Hammer Of The Gods book, and in the middle of the book, with all the pictures, on a page, it said that it was the Sun god Apollo. So I don't really know, I'm just going by the books. I don't like to read, unless its about Zeppelin. Quote

I guess it was like a lot of things about Zeppelin, being a bit mysterious doesn't hurt. Quote

Heartbreaker_Girl Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Hammer of the Gods isn't a book I'd take as gospel Huh? What do you mean take as gospel??? sorry, im kinda down in the dumps today, and my brain don't work gooder. Quote
ninelives Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Huh? What do you mean take as gospel??? sorry, im kinda down in the dumps today, and my brain don't work gooder. It's an unauthorized book that was not endorsed by Zep and has a lot of exaggerations and falsities. Quote
longdistancewinner Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 It's an unauthorized book that was not endorsed by Zep and has a lot of exaggerations and falsities. ... Or, to be less polite, it's crap. Same applies for Richard Cole's 'book'. It was either HOTG or Richard Cole's that Jimmy said he threw away only a few pages after reading it - and they're both pretty similar. Quote

I forget what book Jimmy was referring to. Perhaps it was both! Which is where they belong. Quote
theycallmethehunter Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 It is The Hermit, check the record sleeve Quote
Heartbreaker_Girl Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 Both are crap indeed. I forget what book Jimmy was referring to. Perhaps it was both! Which is where they belong. Is "The Rough Guide to Led Zeppelin" by Nigel Williamson an accurate book? Quote
SteveAJones Posted March 22, 2009 Posted March 22, 2009 And isnt there a story how Jimmy just found that picture at an antique or something shop? Jimmy said he and Robert found it together at a shop in Reading, which would have been not too far afield from Jimmy's boathouse in Pangbourne. What he didn't say is the man does bear a striking resemblance to a preeminent English occult figure. Quote
