marmorek Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 One thing I was wondering is who owns Boleskine House now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Harris Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 he probably still owns it but forgot about it all. He doesn't want to be reminded probably. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reswati Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 he probably still owns it but forgot about it all. He doesn't want to be reminded probably. Nah, he doesn't own it anymore, he sold it a long time ago, after that it first became a hotel and now it's in private hands again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mos6507 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Remember that interviewer who asked him whether he found that angel with a broken wing he was looking for? Jimmy page said yes. So whatever Jimmy was searching for, spiritually, during that period, he found and he's moved on since then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AllisonAdler Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 ^That actually wasn't about his spirituality. You might want to have a look at the rest of that interview for the context. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireOpal Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Hi Allison! Nice to see you 'round these parts again. I have precious little to add to the subject, only that Mr. Page gave a rather large Solstice party fairly recently (past couple years), so it would seem he still has some affinity.

Moonmaid Posted December 15, 2008 Share Posted December 15, 2008 Also, 'twould seem a waste of time to have one's mystical talismanic sigil created for a show in 2007 if one were not interested in such things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see you, too. Big doings over here, so I haven't had much time to drop in. I totally dig your new sig pic! Did you take it yourself? And Solstice party--cool!

AllisonAdler Posted December 17, 2008 Share Posted December 17, 2008 What's your interpretation? I think originally he was talking about a lady and a soul mate. I suspect that what he meant by saying that he'd found what he was looking for was that he found other compensations (I think he gets quit a lot out of his children, for example).

ms_zeppelin94 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 "children" - I thought that it was just Scarlet (but I'm probably wrong...) How awesome would it be if Boleskine was open for tours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interview in question was during the page/plant era so I think his new wife was in the picture by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oswaldo Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 One doesn't just lose interest in such things. I agree 100%. It's no secret how deep was Jimmy into the occult and into Crowley teachings. One would say that all the aspects of whatever he was be believing in (symbols, places, characters etc.) is what formed or identified him during the Led Zeppelin era, and as secretive as Jimmy is, who knows what other practices he did/does nowadays. Obviously none of this changes my respect for him as a guitar player, but like Allison says, you just don't get away from that stuff as easily. These are my 2 cents.

Hmm, but he was a drug user back then. He probably had hallucinations and all kinds of false sensations, and when he quit drugs he must have seen his earlier beliefs in a different light. Although I'm not sure if the Crowley folks believe in anything odd. For all I know they may be just Christians in denial or atheists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No no no, Thelema is about a lot of more things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zanadu Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 No no no, Thelema is about a lot of more things. Maybe. The regular satanists seem to be mainly atheists with an attitude, but Thelema is something different (and allegedly Crowley was a drug user). In one interview, from the 90's I guess, Jimmy had a "Recovering Catholic" print in his shirt, if that's of any significance here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know, they were interviewed in Australia by Andrew Denton during "No Quarter" tour 1994. But I don't take it as a real significance in that case. PS: the interview was fun! Especially the different versions of Stairway. The laughter of Jimmy and Robert was priceless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
