- We're breaking down the lyrics and history of Ozzy Osbourne's classic "Mr. Crowley". How much of the song is based in fact and how much is fiction? Let's talk about the lyrics of the song, specifically the namesake of the song, magician and founder of Thelema, Aleister Crowley.
Who wrote the lyrics, Ozzy or Bob Daisley? Do any of them accurately represent Crowley's life?
Thanks for watching and for the likes, subs, and comments! I started a business in “real life”, and I wasn’t happy with some of my other videos.. so I will be back but it may be a minute. Cheers! I hope you liked the video.
You seem like the kind of guy that would be awesome to grab a beer with and just chat the night away. I hope you keep making videos!
Thank you! I have a video on Blue Oyster Cult in the chamber, coming soon!
evidence, quotes, writings....anything to support any of this would be much appreciated.
I will try and post the script (if I can find it) on the blog and most of my sources are there. It's mostly informed speculation based on my many years of being an Ozzy fan and having read an insane amount of Crowley (most of the Equinox, his best known fiction and magical works), so while I recorded it "off the cuff" I feel like I know my subjects. I honestly just thought this would be a fun video for friends, and it kind of took off, but I regret the lack of scholarly rigor and thank you for the constructive criticism. My other two video have credits and my next one already has a blog post with all of my sources, cheers!
Post more dude! You did so good!
Working on it! Thanks!
Make more content bro! Loved this video, maybe make one about “don’t fear the reaper” by b.o.c!:) it’s a cool story but looking forward to learning more about other songs aswell
Thank you, I have a new video ready to launch this week! And that’s a great idea
Let me know what it is ! I’m interested ☝🏽
Give us more!
LONG time coming.. I spent two years becoming a giant BOC fan doing research for the Don’t Fear the Reaper video. The written version is already on the blog!
Thank you.
Thank you. I love the song, both Ozzy’s and Cradle of filth’s cover. What do you think of the cover?
When I was young I was an Ozzy fan... But as you get older ,you begin to realize that God is not a joke and we all must pick a side. Either we glorify God , our Creator OR... We glorify satan and his follower's(demons and such).....it really comes down to that....🌩️✝️✅🌩️
I choose SATAN!! 🎸🎸🎸
I choose the 6th stage of low awareness, ie, a shallow clouded consciousness. Make mine 666 in 3 categories: emotions, thoughts, actions. 777 is closest to the sideways 8 infinity symbol/God/Godhead, but who cares. Rock on !
@@socialisolation370 schized reply man.. Ozzy has claimed to be Christian
@@Dylan-it5vi Just so you know: According to George Ohsawa, "schizophrenia" is easy to cure.
A Complete Philosophic Yin Yang Macrobiotic Understanding Combined With It's Practical Dietary Discipline Is Timeless Universal Law. All Other Teachings Are Incomplete. ~ Herman Aihara, Michio Kushi & George Ohsawa.
Mr Crowley came close but unfortunately he took the wrong fork in the road. He completely lacked the wisdom of George Ohsawa.
@@socialisolation370 wtf are u talking about
This idea that Crowley died in squalor is inaccurate. He died in a comfortable boarding house in Hastings. It was basically a retirement home, and he was 72 years old,
The scholarship about that part of his life is a mixed bag to say the least- but squalor is the wrong word. “Boarding house” sounds a lot worse to us Americans I guess.. cheers and thanks for the clarification
Haha this was great!
The definition of creating a new religion that is anti-Christ would certainly qualify the Lyrics "waiting on Satan's call" I like the Purity Spiral lyric and the refrain of Polemically sent which elevates the common man as the real intellectual. With nocturnal rapport indicated deception and affectation which is associated with the adversary by definition. I love the song and we are big fans of Ozzy who always made his own way and is one of the greatest of all time as the ultimate original and a man that recreated his own life many times making his own way through it all despite the establishments left or right.
the line about approaching a time that is classic / drastic i've wondered if this would refer to crowley's new aeon he talked about, the maiden and the beast from the lust card.
Best song ever
Crowley was an knowledgeable junkie with some charm and like Manson, except Crowley had knowledge from being a Freemason and used it to trick enough people into following him, which is easy when the whole religion is based on things based on pleasing yourself.
Also you got some interpretations wrong,
“Conceived in the eye of a secret” refers to the fact his cult was born after Crowleys time and knowledge based on freemasonry and the line “they scattered the afterbirth” implies; at least to me that since freemasonry is a VERY secretive group that withholds many many secrets, that since his religion was based on something hidden from the public eye they “scattered” the afterbirth aka the knowledge he held that was used to create it.
Also the last verse “I hear that maidens call, approaching a time that is drastic standing with their backs against the wall” implies to me that since the writer believes Mr Crowley is a conman and hiding where he got the knowledge he claims he has; it’s implying that it was time to expose him for the fraud he was and its time to get rid of his games he plays with people. As then on the bridge to back this up it’s more calling him out asking where did he get these messages and what did it all really mean.
Whoever wrote this song in my eyes probably saw the influence he had in Hollywood on big acts like the beetles and others and did the metal thing by essentially calling the darkest occultist around a big pussy and a fraud.
I appreciate your insights and thanks for watching! Interpretations can’t be “wrong”, though, no? They’re interpretations.. I never claimed to have all the answers!
Cheers
@@CrypticCocktails ohhhhh!! Great reply!! Man he didn’t even reply back! Lol
U are spot on man
Napoleon rode a white horse
Crowley stole a lot of other Magicians rituals, and it claimed it of his own. The Trickster. The bridge is the crossing from the material world to the Spirit world. Channeling and scrying the spirit world. The "back against the wall" could refer to the war between the Nazis Germany and England. England had its back against the wall. "We will never surrender" Churchill. It is said that Crowley and a bunch of witches got together to fight off the Nazis Magically. The Nazis were unable to take over The British Isles. The White Horse. Crowley messed with Dark/Evil Magic referring to "Satan's Wall". His life got ruined because the "Devil is never a maker."(Heaven and Hell song Black Sabbath). Just Sharing Thanks
I wanna be your friend man
Or maybe he was fooling with peoples with magic might have been a reference to his bookcalled Magic.?
He was just high most of the time like all religions shrooms are a hell of a drug opens up their minds starting to see 7 head serpents 😂
I’ll keep it short. I think all roads lead to The Hermetic teachings of Thoth in one way or another. The emerald tablets. “I wanna know what you meant, was it polemically sent?” I think he’s asking of AC’s message. Was intended for evil or good? I think it was for good because Alister Crowley refers to the hermetic principles often.
Bob Daisley wrote mr crowley trust me.
Ha ha! "We invented the meme!"
I have always gotten my best ideas “on the John” so it could have been invented in a bathroom!
I wish u had more subs I'd watch you more just come out with some new content you can do alot with your channel I think
Thanks, I appreciate that feedback! This is something I want to pursue more and I finally have the time, more is coming!
Um yes yes I see
Barbara Bush's Dad was Alister Crowley
I have heard that, but wasn’t able to confirm it
@@CrypticCocktails
Research
Pauline Robinson in Paris with Alister Crowley
Crowley worshipped balphmet, he signed as balphemt multiple times. Balphmet is gods brother (worse than satan/the devil)
He felt he was the reincarnation of Eliphas Levi, because he was born on his death day- therefore he might have had a thing for Baphomet. I see no evidence that he worshipped Baphomet in the 1000 plus pages of his writing that I have read. Can you direct me to the research you're drawing from?
Cheers
Jesus is all power bro 💪
And will crush any darkness ❤️
Amen. Thanks for watching!
