Back To The Sixties

Living was good, and the money was easy. The era of excitement and money to spend.
The birth of pop music, drugs, sex and rock and roll. People had freedoms never experienced previously since the war.
It was the age of Hippie communes, music festivals, travel and hitchhiking, and wild fashion.
Pop stars vied with each other to buy stately or unusual homes. Everyone loved reading, art, fashion, and music.
Children loved Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, and Christopher Robin.

There were however dark undertones, people delved into eastern religions, and black magic.
The Stones were influenced by Anita Ekberg, an actress and model who shared her drugs backstage and sang about the black arts. ‘I see a Red door and want to paint it Black’. That was a door in Crotchford Manor, which was bought by Brian Jones. The village of Crotchford in Sussex, England housed a ring of Satanists. Crotchford Manor was originally the home of AA Milne who joined the group.

Crotchford Manor

Today, many have discarded our beloved Winnie the Pooh because of AA Milne’s interests.

Anita Pallenberg was the muse of the Stones and slept with all of them.

Brian Jones was convinced he was under a Voodoo spell after his visit to Africa, and died a mysterious death in his swimming pool in Crotchford Manor.

Jimmy Page bought a house in Scotland that had been the home of the most evil man in Britain, a spiritualist, Alistair Crowley, who wrote about fundamental darkness and magic. The house was by a loch and had been a church, and was haunted.
It mysteriously burned to the ground. Jimmy said strange things happened in that house and it was gutted by fire twice.

The Beatles and the Kinks bought huge houses in Surrey, UK and again the Beatles mentioned drugs in their music.
