I've just got my hands on Tool's latest album, 10,000 days. Where Lateralus had FAAIP DE OAID, which is Enochian for 'Voice of God', one track title on this album leaped out at me:
Viginti Tres.
All hail Discordia, baby.
(Although 'Rosetta Stoned' has promise also. I have yet to listen to any of it. I expect to Squee muchly, but that's just because I'm a Tool fanboi.)
MORE: I've just looked through the stereoscope pictures. For most people, the pictures will be weird. For me, well...
They had Golden Dawn tarot decks strewn about. G∴D∴ images of the Tree of Life on the walls. Magickal parephenalia. Images which describe, if you know what you're looking at, in intimate detail the workings and practice of High Ritual Magick.
Hmmm... shiny. These guys are magickians, and they know what they're talking about.
For the record, I have visited the town where Maynard lives: Sedona, AZ. It's a beautiful place, halfway between the snow and forests of Flagstaff, and the heat and desert of The Rest Of Arizona -- it's a borderland. It's a bit touristy, but it's New Age Touristy. And its other claim to fame is that it is where arguably the greatest student of Aleister Crowley -- Israel Regardie -- lived the last years of his life. Not that I've made any study of any of this.
