New Age spirituality in music Jimmy Page had an interest in astrology and used the Zoso symbol as his personal sigil, often having it embroidered with other astrological symbols onto his stage costumes. The Zoso symbol, a sigil consisting of zodiacal signs, originated from a tome entitled Ars Magica Arteficii dated 1557 by Gerolamo Cardano. The original symbol was used by Cardano in 1557, which he used as the magickal sigil for Saturn, the planet that rules Capricorn, Jimmy Pages Sign. Jimmy Page is disciple of Aleister Crowley and member of Ordo Templi Orientis During tours and performances after the release of the fourth album, Page often had the Zoso symbol embroidered on his clothes, along with zodiac symbols. These were visible most notably on his Dragon Suit, which included the signs for Capricorn, Scorpio and Cancer which are Pages Sun, Ascendant, and Moon signs, respectively. The artwork inside the album cover of Led Zeppelin IV is from a painting by William Holman Hunt, influenced by the traditional Rider/Waite Tarot card design for the card called The Hermit.[138] Page transforms into this character during his fantasy sequence in Led Zeppelins concert film The Song Remains the Same. In the early 1970s Page owned an occult bookshop and publishing house, The Equinox Booksellers and Publishers in Kensington High Street, London, eventually closing it as the increasing success of Led Zeppelin resulted in his having insufficient time to devote to it. The company published a facsimile of English occultists Aleister Crowleys 1904 edition of The Goetia.[141] Page has maintained a strong interest in Crowley for many years. In 1978, he explained: I feel Aleister Crowley is a misunderstood genius of the 20th century. Because his whole thing was liberation of the person, of the entity, and that restrictions would foul you up, lead to frustration which leads to violence, crime, mental breakdown, depending on what sort of makeup you have underneath. The further this age were in now gets into technology and alienation, a lot of the points hes made seem to manifest themselves all down the line.
