The Mars Volta..

I used that same masonic compass at top of blog :-)



I stumbled upon these just browsing ebay. The band is called "The Mars Volta". I think that means Mars in reverse/retrograde? These posters are pretty awesome, in a graphic design sense.

"you think the band has any idea what they mean?"

Yup, pretty obvious.

I guess I mean what is the band's intentions by using symbols like that. Is it just a graphic designer trying to be hardcore, or what. They used the Magic Pantacle of john dee, so that's so serious shit.

Why wouldn't you investigate such an interesting question for yourself?

So far I'm enjoying the search myself, their lyrics seem occult treasure troves at first glance.

I'm guessing this search will only be interesting if the occult isn't regarded as "pure evil" ;p as I don't know what your reality tunnel looks like.

I personally don't know what the symbols mean but speaking as a huge Volta fan they are really into mysticism and big believers of the occult. The album The Bedlam in Goliath was inspired by the spirits they experienced while using a Ouija board from Jerusalem.

The Mars Volta are describing the battle aganst Satan, the void continumm, whatever, before the the world is purifeid as bible, mayans etc have said. Cedric dont know that but he knows enough to fuckin go for it and be a big part of this creation. Maynard James keenan and the band Tool are doing the same thing. You must see that things are gettin epic out there in the world right now? Checkout Russia and China's growing strenght. Epic.

the mars volta is big into the occult. they have a lot of esoterica folded into their lyrics and themes, much like king crimson, led zepplin, rush, and others. their '09 album was titled octahedron, the theoretical sixth platonic solid, which is said to exist only in four dimensional geometry. these guys are definitely plugged into some gnostic sybolism. and they rock pretty hard, if you ask me.

You may have heard of Hasna Ait Boulahcen, the woman who died in a  raid carried about by French police  in the days after the attacks in Paris. Or you might have seen her on the website of the Daily Mail, which said it  obtained exclusive photos of her , or the  New York Post , which dubbed her the  “skanky suicide bomber”  in a front-page story  That was the characterization those tabloids ran with: that Boulahcen was, as the Daily Mail wrote,  “a party animal with a string of boyfriends who had shown no interest in religion.”  Here is what was said to be a photo of Boulahcen lounging in a bathtub blown up onto the front page of the Nov. 20 edition of the  Post: The problem is that the woman that the  Post  confidently declared to be the “Paris suicide bomber” doesn’t appear to be her at all. That woman, pictured above, came forward today to say she is not Hasna Ait Boulahcen and has no connection to the group of people who carried out the Paris attacks. Instead, she sa

According to  New York Post  “police sources,” Morgan Freeman’s step-granddaughter was stabbed to death this weekend in by her boyfriend, who was allegedly experiencing some sort of drug-induced psychosis. The victim, E’dena Hines, was a 33-year-old Broadway actress who occasionally attended events and premieres with her famous step-grandfather. She was pronounced dead this weekend after a man stabbed her multiple times on a street in Washington Heights early Sunday morning. “Get out, devils! I cast you out, devils! In the name of Jesus Christ, I cast you out!” the killer yelled as he plunged a hunting knife into 33-year-old E’Dena Hines’ chest, according to George Hudacko, who witnessed the 3 a.m. attack from his apartment window in Washington Heights. Hines, an actress who had appeared on Broadway and on red carpets at Freeman’s side, was stabbed 16 times, officials said. “The girl was making a lot of noise, screaming,” Hudacko said, adding. “I called 911 — I was begging the
