1500.0. "Looking for info on Crowleyan symbolism" by FORTY2::CADWALLADER () Thu Jul 11 1991 10:26

	I have noticed within a couple of the groups that I listen to
	common references to such things as:

	Fields of rape & gratuitous Reaping (!)
	Dog Day Age (Sirius as per 11:11 Notes I guess)
	"The Blood of the Moon"
	a Death In June 
	the Earth's Inferno etc... etc...

	I have been interested in the paranormal/occult for a few years but
	it is clear from a quick (very quick) browse through Notes that most
	of the "dejavu" participants (strange - I feel as if I've typed that
	before somewhwere) are rather more well-read than myself.

	Therefore, I wondered if anybody knows what these groups are going on
	about, since they apparently have Crowleyan leanings or inspirations.
	The symbolism is completely unfamiliar to me at present.

	I look forward to browsing further through many of the interesting 
	topics in dejavu, and hope to air my view now and again should 
	something which is a pet area pop up. I shall be here for 12-15 months
	doing my I.T. year out. Good to know there are so many "non-closed-
	minded" people about.

	Cheers.

	P.S. - the sort of groups I mean are:

		Death In June (sic)
		Current 93
		Sol Invictus
		Nurse With Wound

	(and to a lesser degree)

		Fields of the Nephilim.

	Regarding the Nephilim, anyone who has read Richard Matheson's
	excellent novel "What Dreams May Come" regarding a man's life-after-
	death experiences might be interested to listen to the album
	"Elizium" by Fields of the Nephilim, I am certain the inspiration for
	this album came from the above novel. As another incidental note the
	Nephilim's last album was "Earth Inferno" (... I was saying ...).
