The occult fascination that consumed Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin One of the founding members of the iconic rock band Led Zeppelin, Jimmy Page, is known not only for his extraordinary guitar skills but also for his deep and profound interest in the occult. This fascination consumed much of his life and heavily influenced his music and image. Page's interest in the occult can be traced back to his early days as a struggling musician in the 1960s. He was introduced to the works of famous British occultist Aleister Crowley and became captivated by his teachings and philosophies. Crowley's ideas of personal transformation, spiritual exploration, and the pursuit of true will resonated deeply with Page and he soon became an ardent follower of Crowley's teachings. Page's fascination with the occult extended beyond just studying and reading about it - he actively incorporated occult symbols, rituals, and themes into Led Zeppelin's music and image.

The references to the occult are most prominent in Led Zeppelin's fourth album, commonly referred to as Led Zeppelin IV. The album cover features a mysterious old man carrying sticks on his back, a symbol associated with the hermit card in Tarot, which signifies introspection, inner illumination, and spiritual solitude. Page himself was reportedly involved in designing the artwork, further showcasing his dedication to the occult imagery. Moreover, several songs on Led Zeppelin IV contain lyrics and symbolism related to the occult. The most notable example is the song "Stairway to Heaven," which many believe is laced with hidden meanings and references to Crowley's teachings. The song's cryptic lyrics and intricate musical arrangement have led to numerous interpretations and analysis by fans and music critics alike. Page's interest in the occult and his dedication to incorporating it into Led Zeppelin's music and image had a profound impact on the band's popularity and mystique. It fueled rumors and speculation about the band's involvement in dark arts, attracting a loyal fan base that was equally intrigued by Page's fascination with the occult.
