In the new vid. posted by daniel he zooms in on a picture that says "absinthe robette". if you go to an old forum (http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=879) it is discussing weird tags, particularly the tag "Chartreuse" for the equinox video. in the post by ghostvoices, which is the second one down, he talks about searching for aleister crowley and Chartreuse together and found a site talking about "Absinthe Books VII - Aleister Crowley and the Green Goddess" i hope it isn't just coincidence that chartreuse lead to the absinthe books and absinthe was zoomed in on, there MUST be a connection, i just haven't found it quite yet. the url for that site is http://www.oxygenee.com/absinthe/books7.html i also found some information here http://www.gothcentral.com/gothcentral/ ... sinthe.asp

Absynthe has actually been looked upon by many cultures and subcultures as a way towards enlightenment. Being a mild hallucinogen, I can imagine using it would envoke a feeling of 'being in touch with the universe'. And not leave much memory of actions taken under the influence the morning after.

I've also read numerous books that use the premise of mixing Absinthe and blood as a ritualistic drink to be consumed....

Or maybe it was just a nifty poster on the wall.

I looked up the poster itself.. the only thing of note that I found was the year 1896 - when it was created.

Read the 6th paragraph... seems like a fairly important time in his life...
