Crowley Image question

[emdiva]

Could somebody who's been here longer tell me when/where we first learned that is a pic of Aleister Crowley? I'm not doubting it, just trying to trace the source.

Was it somebody on the message boards, or in the YouTube comments? Could you send me a link?

Thanks,
Emily

Ok so quickly looking back I think that the Crowley pic was first seen in the "Daniel Returns, and More Interesting Factoids (Yay!)" video. Previously the picture in its place had only been seen once before in "The Danielbeast" video, it was different at that point.

Look at that thread in the video's section to see the previous picture.

Unsure as to if anyone will be able to tell to *exactly* when it was spotted.

I think it was first noticed when the video "What Did Daniel and Dad Talk About?" and pointed out in the comments.

Thanks for replying. The fact that the identity of the pic was disclosed in the YouTube comments makes me think more and more that it was planted by someone on the inside to start us down a trail. I think that the other image is also of Crowley and the filmmakers figured out it was too hard to identify, so they changed the image and went ahead and identified it in the YouTube comments. The people behind it probably printed a pic right off the internet and then told us it was a pic of Crowley, leaving it up to us to search and think we found it by ourselves.

So perhaps one of the initial posters, digi63 or Big10 might be tied to the project.

Is there any way to see a list of comments people have left on YouTube so I can dig some more?

Thanks,

just perusing this thread. i recall researching this on the old forum.

big10 was the first to question what the picture was in the youtube comments (to what did dad and daniel talk about). quelist, also in YT comments, soon identified the pic as crowley. Hyemew googled it and quickly posted a weblink to the same Crowley picture in the YT comments.

A few weeks back, i emailed quelist (whose nick is older than the whole lg15 thing) to see how he identified the picture, and he told me he collects crowley 1st edition books.
