Now I know how & why I'm here. Lucifer Sam is my favorite song on saucerful of secrets. I know I'm off-topic, but seeing others who revere Syd & his art makes me so happy. People forget that LSD,mushrooms,marijuana increases consciousness, its mixing w/other drugs that can severely alter it. I've got a bike you can ride it if you like its got a basket a bell and things to make it look good. -u-electric-ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10291376278735901229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891114758163865289.post-19862433313115283892013-07-30T15:07:48.349-04:002013-07-30T15:07:48.349-04:00I know there are many real occult references in ro...I know there are many real occult references in rock, like those that can be found in led zeppelin, movies, literature and in culture in general, but your conclusions are so absurd to link Syd Barret to the occult, this is the most apophenic writing I have ever read about Syd Barret and one of the most apophenic I have ever read!, First, every reference to a gnome is occult? so don't forget all the Grimm Brothers tales including snow white should be occult. Second the Piper reference is taken from "the wind in the willows" Theodore Roosevelt showed particular interest in this book, so we can conclude that he was an occultist also. Astronomy domine? so every reference to the roman/greek gods it is occult? so Homer is the father of occultism with his Odyssey. The only weird song it is lucifer sam, the real meaning cannot be outlined, I have read that Jennifer his girl, use to love cats, one of those cats she had was a siamese cat, thats why the lyrics say "siam cat", and Syd use to see this cat as "evil". What have to do the picture of crowley here? because it was shown in a cover of the beatles and they record at abbey road and pink floyd also? so I guess you can conclude that all the bands that record in abbey road are related with crowley and followers of him. <br /><br />The diamond reference is so apophenic also, diamond is the hardest material ever discovered, and like many other precious stones considered scarce and valuable since were discovered, most people use to say "its a jewel" or "diamond" while refering to someone really exceptional, outstanding, scarce, brilliant, thats the way I think is the purpose of the lyrics, have you heard, the phrase "he/she is a diamond in the rough"? It should be occultist according to your logic, so I can guess that everything related with gold-diamond is also occultist, because thats was the purpose of alchemy, and I guess everyone that give a diamond to his fiance is giving it a special "meaning" like alchemists, and they didn't notice yet that they are fomenting occultism. The phrase "yesterdays triumph" what it means to you, the past achievents of alchemist? Syd Barret could be or not liked to the occult, but maybe in his personal life, to the date I haven't found any evidence, all this conclusions are so non sense reminds me the long list or conspiracists.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891114758163865289.post-82873091601326380942013-03-02T21:55:01.769-05:002013-03-02T21:55:01.769-05:00Anon II-

Yes, I think Syd was far more lucid than he's often given credit for being and that there was indeed method to his madness. <br /><br />Maybe both Rogers had the last laugh.:)<br /><br /><br />-RecluseReclusehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13510266038933358020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4891114758163865289.post-20947606845342082572013-02-25T00:14:30.659-05:002013-02-25T00:14:30.659-05:00What a refreshing way to look at Syd Barrett.

Your comparison to Graves' Claudius really is a good one, that left me feeling like maybe Roger had the last laugh after all.
