“ Given the roles he’d played I could almost believe he had transcended mere humanity and evolved into something else.”
A little while ago, I did some reading into the occult symbolism behind Bowie’s work, more of a point of interest, rather than anything I personally believe in. It’s well known how Bowie referenced Aleister Crowley in his work, but when you see just how intricately worn the strands are, it is somewhat breathtaking. He left little references in music videos that transcended decades, and if you know what to look for, there are some rather considerable clues (let’s just say the album name Station To Station doesn’t primarily reference trains). Whether he believed these things or not, I don’t know, but at the very least, it leaves this air of mysticism that makes it very easy to believe that he was aiming to become more than a human frame can hold.
