What do Eddie Vedder, Iggy Pop, the Weeknd, Fiona Apple, Lady Gaga, Eminem, and Jimmy Page all have in common? According to numerologist, human design specialist, astrologer, and electropop artist Kaitlyn Kaerhart, they are all Life Path Number 1s, the sign of the creative pioneer. Not a term used in common parlance since back when Jimmy Page put a down payment on Aleister Crowley’s haunted Boleskine House in 1970 and stuck sigils on his white satin suit, Deep Purple’s Richie Blackmore invited friends over for monthly seances, and Dave Mustaine cast spells on bandmates and rivals and bragged about it.

Since then, Megadeth stopped playing “The Conjuring” because the song contained instructions for those hexes (Mustaine has blamed the curses he cast for his own string of bad luck and health crises), Page sold Boleskine House as soon as the ghosts became too unruly, and Blackmore got a Ouija board and stopped inviting nonbelievers to his soirees.
