Wait a sec here...Just where do you have proof that Page has addmitted
being a Satanist? In the Rockline show he did last year he very obviously
makes fun of the whole idea of his supposed link to the occult. Page
is a collector of Crowley artifacts, something that's sorta strange
and weird, but that doesn't mean he believes the same things Crowley
did. For example, I collect all the Zep stuff I can get my hands on,
but that doesn't mean I worship them, or support everything they ever
did. If I found undeniable proof that they were Satanic, I still
wouldn't throw out the stuff I have. OWNING THE WORKS OF A FOLLOWER OF
THE OCCULT DOES NOT MEAN ONE FOLLOWS THE WAYS OF THE OCCULT. Page is a
very eccentric man with some peculiarities, but that does not make him
a Satanist.
