Redbone Magic Brewing is a unique and captivating practice that combines the ancient art of brewing with the mystical world of magic. This enchanting craft has been passed down through generations, allowing individuals to concoct potent elixirs and potions that possess both magical and healing properties. One of the fundamental principles of Redbone Magic Brewing is the belief that the ingredients used in the brewing process hold significant energy and power. These ingredients can include various herbs, roots, flowers, and even crystals, each with their own specific attributes and magical properties. To begin the brewing process, the practitioner must carefully select and gather the necessary ingredients. This step involves not only the physical aspect of gathering materials but also the spiritual connection to the chosen ingredients.
In stepped Jimmy Page to do the soundtrack. This was the start of a love/hate relationship between Anger and Page. The music Page produced was genuinely creepy (some showed up on In Through the Out Door as the intro to In the Evening.) Anger moved into Boleskine and they shared their love of Crowley memorabilia. Anger was eventually asked to leave Page’s house where he had been living as the relationship degenerated and Page pulled out in 1975. Anger did a major flame job in the media publicly, but privately said he had cursed Page and Zep with one monster of a spell, the hugest psychic whammy he could conjure, replete with the worst Crowleyisms he could muster. This is where shit really started to go south.
It supposedly involves forces with powers beyond any human imagination, and is not to be trifled with by anyone not steeped in mountains of experience, certainly not for novice magi or stoned guitarists. One of the first public mentions of Crowley came in a February 1970 Melody Maker interview with Page which noted a large amount of Crowley memorabilia in his house.
This step involves not only the physical aspect of gathering materials but also the spiritual connection to the chosen ingredients. Each herb or ingredient is chosen in accordance with the desired intention of the brew, whether it be for love, protection, healing, or any other magical purpose. Once the ingredients have been collected, the brewing process begins.
This is the reason Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page was cursed by filmmaker Kenneth Anger
We’re digging deep into the Far Out Magazine vault to bring you a very odd story from the opus of legendary Led Zeppelin rock and roll stories, featuring the band’s lead guitarist Jimmy Page.
Led Zeppelin are a band riddled with the kind of rock and roll stories that would make Spinal Tap blush. In fact, in many ways, the band are usually the source of most rock and roll legends and tales. One story grabbed our attention and it takes a darker turn as we revisit the time Jimmy Page was cursed by iconoclastic filmmaker Kenneth Anger.
Page and Anger met when, in 1973, the duo crossed paths at a Sotheby’s auction where they were both bidding on a manuscript from writer Aleister Crowley. Page was a huge fan of Crowley and even went on to own the writer’s previous home known as Boleskine House in the misty hills of Scotland.
At that time Anger was currently working on a short film Lucifer Rising and was desperately in need of some music for the film. Having already worked on the film for nearly seven years the filmmaker was growing weary without a soundtrack. He duly asked his new pal Page, who at the time was one of the biggest recording artists in the world, if he could contribute to the project’s score. Page agreed and, according to some sources, even lent Anger editing equipment to use on the film.
The guitarist would go on to contribute up to 20 minutes of spine-tingling music to the film, the kind of music that makes you pray to Satan for salvation but Anger was left, well, quite angry and apparently disappointed with one of the greatest guitarist of all time.
Anger wanted 40 minutes of music and had a major falling out with Page over the lack of completion on the guitarist’s part. It went one step further when Charlotte Martin, Jimmy’s girlfriend, kicked him out of the basement in Boleskine, a space he’d been occupying with equipment.
Some years later, Anger would recall: “So Jimmy Page did some music instead. He’s a miser, which is a horrible thing. He wouldn’t even pay for lunch. So I said: ‘Isn’t it preposterous that you’re so cheap?’ And that, of course, insulted him. He was on heroin all the time – I hate all those druggies because their eyes get glazed and what they say is meaningless because they don’t follow through.”
“I said: ‘OK, Jimmy, I need exactly 40 minutes.’ But he only gave me 20. I said: ‘What am I supposed to do, play it twice? I need 40 minutes! I need a climax! Like, [the film] is the end and the beginning of the world – you’ve gotta give me that big music!’”
It led to Anger and Page really falling out, and in turn, Anger publicly cursing Page and his girlfriend Charlotte, apparently drawing on his occult leanings.
How successful the curse was on the multi-millionaire, highly regarded, guitar maestro is yet to be seen. Though many do attribute the bad luck which fell on Robert Plant as down to Anger’s curse.
According to Anger: “He’s a multi-millionaire miser. He and Charlotte, that horrible vampire girl… They had so many servants, yet they would never offer me a cup of tea or a sandwich. Which is such a mistake on their part because I put the curse of king Midas on them. If you’re greedy and just amass gold you’ll get an illness. So I did turn her and Jimmy Page into statues of gold because they’ve both lost their minds. He can’t write songs anymore.”
So one of the weirder stories you’ll hear today ends with a director cursing one of the greatest guitarists ever to have walked the earth. Safe to say, he probably can still write a tune or two Kenneth, like this one.
Three thousand of them.
The herbs and other materials are combined and mixed together in a carefully measured manner, often following ancient rituals and incantations. At this stage, the practitioner infuses the brew with their own magical energy and intention, further enhancing the potency and effectiveness of the concoction. After the initial mixing, the brew is left to steep and ferment for a specific duration, often dictated by astrological or lunar cycles. This phase allows the ingredients to seamlessly blend together, intensifying their magical properties and essence. The practitioner may also use this time to perform additional rituals or ceremonies to empower the brew further. Once the brewing process is complete, the final product is a magical potion or elixir that is ready to be used for various purposes. The potency and effects of the brew will depend on the specific ingredients used and the intent of the practitioner. Some brews may be consumed for their healing properties, while others may be used in rituals, spells, or as offerings to deities or spirits. Redbone Magic Brewing is a fascinating practice that combines the artistry of brewing with the mystical world of magic. It allows individuals to tap into the natural energies of the universe and harness their power for specific purposes. Whether for healing, protection, or spiritual growth, the potions and elixirs created through Redbone Magic Brewing offer a unique and powerful way to connect with the mystical forces that surround us..
