@wanderinglynn Thanks for hosting 🧡
pickWell. I enjoyed it, but it feels like a book of this size can really only skim the surface. It also feels weird to only reference metal passingly when talking about these themes, but I guess that could be a whole book of its own.
I‘ve had to start and stop a few books today because I just wasn‘t in the mood for them. I‘m always fascinated with occult themes in music and am happy to sit inside on a very snowy day with this one.
The phenomenon is modern, but rock‘s soul was burnished in the fires of ancient mystery cults, when myth and initiation were fused in a potent mix of dance, intoxication, and other forms of ecstatic revelry. But despite the spectacle of this kind of worship, it‘s still a simple human need being played out in theatrical ways: it‘s the desire for community, for myth and ritual, and for direct communication with the divine.
