And the Forest will echo with Laughter

[JunoSea@xxxxxxx]

The first part of verse eight of â??Stairway to Heavenâ?? speaks of 
regeneration, and the 
second part speaks of a â??Forestâ?? made to â??Echoâ?? by â??Laughter,â?? as a 
result of 
the regeneration. This â??Laughterâ?? carries with it the connotation of 
happiness. Karl 
von Eckartshausen wrote, in The Cloud Upon the Sanctuary that a person has to 
be united to 
God to have real happiness: â??It is an immutable law, no creature can be truly 
happy when 
separated from the source of all happiness. This source, this in whom, is the 
magnificence 
of God Himself.â??46 Those in the Forest who are laughing, are those who are 
worshipers of 
the Devil/Pan, and are happy at the conversion of the newcomers. They are not 
laughing at them. 
They are laughing in happiness and joy. Again, Pan is Satan, who Crowley and 
Led Zeppelin 
believe is god; the god of the forests, mountains, and as the Hindenburg 
signifies, the god 
of the flames. Again, Crowley wrote of the totality of his perception of Satan 
as god: 
â??The King is the undying One; he is the life and the master of life; he is 
the great living 
image of the Sun, the Sun, and the begetter of the Sun. He is the Divine Child, 
the God-begotten 
One, and the Begetter of God. He is the potent bull, the jeweled snake, the 
fierce lion. He is 
the monarch of the lofty mountains, and the lord of the woods and forests, the 
indweller of 
the globes of flame. As a royal eagle he soars through the heavens, and as a 
great dragon he 
churns up the waters of the deep.â??47 You can look to an early quote from 
Crowley in chapter 
one or at the heading of chapter four to see him call Satan the Sun. Just to 
remind you, as god 
of the forests he is not only Pan, but â??Herne the Hunter.â?? Lewis Spence, in 
Magic Arts 
in Celtic Britain, wrote: â??...â??Herne the Hunter,â?? that horned phantom 
which was supposed 
to haunt the royal forest of Windsor, the name Herne appearing as a corruption 
of Cerne, 
or Cernunnos.â??48 Remember also that Robert Plant called himself  â??the 
Hunter,â?? at 6:28 
into â??How Many More Times,â?? off Led Zeppelinâ??s first album, Led Zeppelin. 
Another thing 
Lewis Spence wrote in that book was that the Druids also worshiped in the 
groves: â??Classical 
writers, too, assure us that the Druids worshiped in groves, Lucan, Pliny and 
Tacitus making 
reference to the tree-encircled haunts of the brotherhood. Irish tradition also 
holds more than 
one allusion to the grove as a Druidic precinct.â??49 Eliphas Levi, in The 
History of Magic, 
also wrote of the Druids in the forest: â??The Druids built no temples but 
worked the rites of 
their religion on dolmens and in forests.â??50 In the very beginning of the 
1994 Page/Plant 
No Quarter Video, you can see who I believe is supposed to be the Devil in the 
form of Horus 
the Hawk flying over the groves on his way to meet Page and Plant in the 
forest. The song being 
played at that very moment is â??No Quarter,â?? which I showed in chapter one 
to mean â??no 
mercy.â?? If Pan is the god of the forests, and Herne the Hunter is as well, 
and the Druids 
performed their rites of worship in the forests, and Led Zeppelin commanded 
their fans to sell 
their souls to Satan, it is fact that Led Zeppelin is in agreement with 
Aleister Crowleyâ??s 
presentation of the Devil as god.
Aleister Crowley wrote of the Devil as Pan making several metamorphoses in the 
forest of 
eternity, following someone inspired to play the Pan-pipe, in The Equinox, 
Volume III, No.1:
â??Behold! The Abyss of the Great Deep. Therein is a mighty dolphin, lashing 
his sides with 
the force of the waves.
There is also an harper of gold, playing infinite tunes.
Then the dolphin delighted therein, and put off his body, and became a bird.
The harper also laid aside his harp, and played infinite tunes upon the 
Pan-pipe.
Then the bird desired exceedingly this bliss, and laying down its wings became 
a faun of the forest.
The harper also laid down his Pan-pipe, and with the human voice sang his 
infinite tunes.
Then the faun was enraptured, and followed far; at last the harper was silent, 
and the faun 
became Pan in the midst of the primal forest of Eternity.â??51
Crowley wrote of that forest being the â??forest of Eternity.â?? In The 
Equinox, in an epistle 
called Liber Aâ??Ash, Crowley quoted the Devil as saying he would rise again in 
the same 
forest: â??...I shall rise again, and my children about me, so that we shall 
uplift our 
forest in Eternity.â??52 Considering the phrase â??I shall rise again,â?? I ask 
you the 
reader, why would Kenneth Angerâ??s film be called Lucifer Rising instead of 
Pan rising? 
With Jimmy Page standing in front of a photo of Crowley in the film? It is 
because Crowley, 
Anger, and Page all know that Pan is Lucifer. In â??Achilles Last Stand,â?? off 
the Presence 
album, Robert Plant sang of â??Albionâ?? who will â??rise again,â?? at 5:35 
into the song. 
At the end of the The Song Remains the Same film, you can see that Albion is 
associated 
with â??flamesâ?? in the credits:

Therefore, if Pan is in the forest of eternity, and he is going to rise again, 
and Albion 
is going to rise again, who is also associated with flames, it is safe to 
assume that Plant 
was singing of the Devil in â??Achilles Last Standâ?? when making reference to 
Albion, 
especially since prior to mentioning Albion he makes direct reference to the 
Devil at 1:35.
In bringing verse eight of â??Stairway to Heavenâ?? to a conclusion, Crowley 
wrote that as a 
result of the worship of the Devil as Pan, a song so beautiful came from him 
that nobody could 
resist it. Crowley wrote this in The Equinox, in 1911:
â??Many are they who have loved the nymphs of the woods, and of the wells, and 
of the fountains, 
and of the hillsâ?¦.So also there were many images of Pan, and men adored them, 
and as a 
beautiful god he made their olives bear double and their vines increase; but 
some were slain by 
the god, for it was I that had woven the garlands about him. Now cometh a song.
So sweet is this song that no one could resist it. For in it is all the  
passionate ache of the 
moonlight, and the great hunger of the sea, and the terror of desolate places, 
- all things that 
lure men to the unattainable.53 
There will be many that will laugh at what you are about to read, but I believe 
Jimmy Page 
knows better. Page read The Equinox long before I did. He read the words above, 
as well as 
the Crowley quote earlier in this chapter about the angel playing the Pan-pipe 
and the music 
being so wonderful that one only lives in ones ears. In the medium sense, the 
Devil was talking 
right to Jimmy Page through Crowleyâ??s writings. Accordingly, I believe 
wholeheartedly that 
Aleister Crowley heard â??Stairway to Heaven,â?? or parts of it, seventy years 
be- fore Page 
did. This is not unthinkable to rock stars that could say along with Black 
Sabbath, We Sold Our 
Souls for Rock â??nâ?? Roll, as one of their album titles reads. Jimmy Page, 
Keith Richards, 
Ozzy Osbourne, etc., all know who the source of the music is. Even the group 
â??ABBA,â?? 
which means father or daddy, released an album called "Thank You for The 
Music." They also 
have a man dressed up as a magician holding a torch in his hand on the back of 
one of their 
albums. Also, Led Zeppelin recorded In Through the Out Door, their 1979 album, 
at Abbaâ??s 
recording studio in Stockholm, Sweden. Look at Abbaâ??s album cover "The 
Visitors." I believe 
these people are all in it together. 
Led Zeppelin, in the Eighth Verse of â??Stairway to Heaven,â?? presented the 
concepts of 
spiritual regeneration that will result in the heart of the fans after Satan 
leads them to 
â??Absolute Truth.â?? Also, to ensure that the people know it is Pan, the 
Devil, who is 
responsible for this rebirth, they present the concept of the Eternal Forest 
where Pan will 
reign as the Piper, the maker of music, so the fan will, again, understand as 
he was supposed 
to, by watching â??Dazed and Confusedâ?? in the Led Zeppelin film, that they 
are to sell their 
souls to the Devil; not Thor, Odin, Apollo, Pan, Albion, Herne the Hunter, or 
anyone else, 
because they are all names for the Devil. As Al Pacino said in the movie, 
â??The Devilâ??s 
Advocate,â?? when playing the Devil, he said to Keanu Reeves, â??I have so many 
names.â??

"And if you listen very hard........the Tune will come to you at last."
