Zoroastrianism...

Freddie Mercury..........

Freddie was born a Persian, and the religion which he was born into and then enrolled into at the age of 7, was Zoroastrianism. This is a very old faith, stemming right back through history some 3 or 4 thousand years. Although their homeland was once Persia, it has since been re-named Iran. This religion is believed to originate from the days of 'King Trace'. King Trace or rather its religion basically worked on the principal of Positive, versus Negative. The idea being that you serve one or the other. 

In its simplest form, Zoroastrianism works on the same principal. But the days when Zoroastrianism was the main faith of Persia, have long since gone. For way back in the days of Jesus, the Persians had become corrupt and eventually they and the faith they followed, were overthrown by another faith. So what was once a great nation, fell, because its leaders became greedy and power crazed. But it should be pointed out, that most if not all followers of this faith, just like most followers of any faith, were and still are, of a high moral standing, and comply to a very strict method of worship and living.

The `Magi who are of the Zoroastrian Faith, have several mentions and/or references made to them, not only within Queen music, but also within most Holy Books such as the Bible. But as a rule, they are normally entitled - Star Gazers, or the Jester (re: I'm Going Slightly Mad video), the Magician, or the Arch Magician (re: It's A Kind Of Magic video). And although the `Magi are of the Zoroastrian faith, they are elite in their merit, and as such, this group does not encompass so-called normal people. The people of the `Magi, are born with special power, which when enhanced, enables them to complete many spiritual duties - such as healing the sick both in mind and body, and also they can perform so-called tricks of magic (`Magi is where the word Magic derives from). 

The `Magi are also able to gain access into the Tower Of Babel, which is linked to the Mountain of Zion (re: The Ogre Battle and the Bible), which was built with the intention of reaching GOD. The Tower of Babel (or babble, who no one else could understand), is best likened to the Spiritual Temple which is also in the Bible (re: Peter - Living Stone and the Holy Nation). The Tower, as with the Spiritual Temple, gives special powers to the user that can be used to reach or talk directly to GOD. And it also acts as a direct link into the Afterlife, and some of this information may well explain Freddie's actions, where the Lily and Phoenix story is concerned. re: the Mind Games as mentioned in the albums The March Of The Black Queen, The Game, Queen II, Mr. Bad Guy, Barcelona etc.

Where the Tower of Babel (or Babble) was concerned way back in the days of the Bible - because the people and/or those of the Faith concerned had become corrupt, GOD sought to take away their special powers. This also included Telepathy (also known as Mind Games), and so GOD sought to make the people dumb. And also to add confusion to the fire, GOD sought to give everyone a different language, so that they would not be able to understand each other - hence the title, Babble. 

But however, those of the `Magi who had not abused the power that GOD had given them, were saved from the onset of the confusion of Mankind. These facts alone, are why many of the myths and legends surrounding the Zoroastrian Faith, are just myths and legends, because quite simply, seemingly there is no-one left who is able to perform Spiritual Duties. And this is also why, the gifts of the `Magi and their abilities are thought to be just Fairy Tales, not only in general books that are available, but also within musical terms - such as in the music of Queen. 

But however, with the knowledge of Ahura (the White Queen) and Ahriman (the Black Queen), and of Zoroaster and the `Magi, it becomes much easier to understand such Queen songs as My Fairy King, The Show Must Go On, and Innuendo - which the book of INNUENDOES has been named after. This knowledge also sheds new light on the meaning behind all religious teachings such as Revelations (Bible) and the description given within the book of INNUENDOES, contains less Babble, you could say.

The reason why the book of INNUENDOES covers the Zoroastrian religion and its effects on Freddie is, because to be able to understand most of Freddie's music, first you need to understand his religion. 

He was once asked what his music meant - to which he replied "Fairy Tales". But if you did understand just what he believed in, then you would be able to understand the songs and their meanings, and then they won't just be just Fairy Tales anymore...................
