Led Zeppelin is one of the first supergroups of rock...a combination of blues, folk, rock, and eastern music that still resonates in popular music and culture. What is lesser known is guitarist Jimmy Page interest in occultist Aliester Crowley. During Zeppelin's heyday Page would buy items about Crowley culminating in buying his house off of Loch Ness. The first printings of Led Zeppelin III, had the motto 'Do what thou will' which was the beginning part of Crowley's magic invocation, so the career of Crowley in a weird way shadowed the mega stardom of rock's most famous group mirroring the same tragedies of crowley as well.
How Led Zeppelin is connected to UFO culture is a interesting connection.
Crowley's infamous 'Lam' spell has alien and UFO connections.
Crowley created his spell at the house which eventually was bought years later by Jimmy Page. Some say the otherworldly creature that eerily mirrors the 'grey aliens' decades later haunted the place. Fellow occultist and avant garde filmmaker Kenneth Anger worked on a film called 'Lucifer rising' which Page did the music at the Crowley mansion. Ultimately, it was shelved from Page's erratic behavior from drugs, and touring.
There is speak of aliens and UFOs are actually other dimensional creatures and that 'magic' was a ways and means to invite such creatures into our world. Famous beat writer William Burroughs interviewed Page for Crawdaddy, and mentioned his impression of Led Zeppelin was steeped into some magic of some sort. Perhaps stairway to heaven could be a calling a stairway of a different kind? The invitation to Kashmir, an invite to the otherworldly as well?
