"I made a bargain to get where I am now with the chief commander of this world and the world we can't see". How more clear can he be? Those first songs were "magically written".

Shocking excerpts from Bob Dylan's 60 Minutes Interview-Did he sell his soul?

Dylan's family (not his real name) was, according research, also rich. And I've heard that it is a Swede or a team of them, perhaps with special software, that writes most of the hit songs. I don't know much about how people "practice" Kabbalah or Enochian magic. I've read about it, but by that time my vision was beginning to go and, along with other things, my focus is elsewhere. I thought of the Tower in the Tarot deck - there would be some who do, and some who don't want to see it fall. You've also noted the theme of "escape", which could be seen as an aspect of the Tower's destruction.

Maybe someone else around here is familiar with the Kaballah and/or Enochian Magic.

: Watchtowers, in enochian magic, are cardinal points. North,
: South, East, West... Then he also writes about the 'White

: Perhaps he practiced a type of 'invocation' using the vast
: stores of knowledge to write his songs? Perhaps he was
: intuitive enough to feel this field and draw from it?

: Another very Gnostic sounding lyric to, 'Romance In Durango,'
: is this: Hot chili peppers in the blistering sun
: Dust on my face and my cape
: Me and 'Magdalena' on the run
: I think this time we shall 'escape'

: Hmmmmmmm
