Symbols / Symbole
|
|
|

Here on this site I´ve put
together what I found on the net about the 4 Symbols - especially about
the meaning of ZoSo - some is serious some is without a sense and some
is really funny to read - enjoy :-) |

Murmured Trivia List! |

o For information relating to
Jimmy's symbol please refer to the FAQL for a detailed explanation. The
most recent theory that seeks to explain it has it that it that it
symbolizes a near-death or Tantric sex experience to unify the worlds of
the living and the dead, and thus to reveal the secrets of the universe.
A few points are worth clarifying.
- It is not a word that can be prounounced
"Zoso".
- The symbol was designed by Jimmy, and the only person he has revealed
its meaning to was Plant, long ago, and he has since forgotten. Nigel
Eaton, hurdy gurdy player on the Page & Plant world tour was
reported in _Q_ as having asked about it and been greeted with a deathly
silence.
- It is also unlikely to symbolize Cerebus, the
guardian hound at the gates of hell.
- It is not a stylisied "666".
- The closest thing to an explanation from the
man himself came on his November 1994 appearance on _Denton_ with Plant.
At the end of their interview a member of the studio audience yelled
"What's your symbol mean Jimmy?" After some confusion as to
what was being yelled, understanding dawned on Plant's face and he
replied "Frying tonight". Page did not elaborate further.
- It most likely has absoluely nothing to do
with Curious George The Monkey, known as Zoso, a character in English
children's books.
- It doesn't have anything to do with the
pyramid of Zoser in Egypt |

William
Rimmer
was
an
abscure
American
painter,
who
did
a
picture
around
1869
-
1870
entitled
"Evening"
or
the
"Fall
of
Day"
which
is
currently
in
the
Boston
Museum
of
Fine
Arts.
This
picture
was
adopted
by
Led
Zeppelin
as
the
"Swan
Man"
logo
for
album
covers,
etc.
The
picture
above
is
taken
from
page
101
of
book
"William
Rimmer
A
Yankee
Michelangelo",
essays
by
Jeffrey
Weidman,
Neil
Harris
and
Philip
Cash,

The
winged
man
is
the
angel
Lucifer,
or
Satan.
Lucifer
/
Satan
has
negative
connotations
for
many
people,
particularly
those
raised
with
a
Christian
background.
With
research,
Lucifer
can
be
understood
in
a
different
light
-
not
as
an
evil
character
to
be
feared. |
