I don't blame the doc for focusing on the more tangible stuff, they pulled together a lot of great footage I hadn't seen before. I also get that the occult stuff is where people start to roll their eyes and how it was a good idea to cut it from a doc on a mainstream platform.

Why still pretend like Jimmy wasn't into the occult when he was super into the occult? Seems like the kind of thinking that protected Jimmy for so long: people projected their own paradigms on Jimmy, creating a mental blind spot to all the hints he was dropping.

I think that selling himself as being a master of this type of religious-mysticism was critical to how he drew people in and protected himself. Modern Satanism, in the vein of Aleister Crowley and Anton Levay, has always been about drawing the rich and powerful people into blackmail schemes.
