I think of him as akin to a Legba figure: a crossroads guide, a disruptive trickster figure
I know that Sterling Magee has an unstable relationship with his own "Mr. Satan" identity. He was very strong, even cocksure, about who he was for many years when we played together. But after his breakdown in 1998, I spoke with him at a moment when he said, "Call me Sterling" and actually said "The whole Satan thing was a mistake." A broken man--at that point. [the death of his father made him overwhelmed with guilt as Satan] But now he's back to Mr. Satan. So who knows? An individual blues musician may have several different psychospiritual orientations towards the devil in the course of a career. Bluesmen are human, too.Mr. Satan - one man blues band

Freedom for my PeopleOct 12, 1991 - Satan is perched on a stool in front of a phone company office, rumbling ... the devil who was born Sterling Magee some 54 years ago is joined by his ... in particular 666, used in the Book of Revelations to denote a beast from ...
This devil takes a break beside the grocery cart in which he transports his instruments. It contains intricate sculptures exploring the spiritual nature of numbers, in particular 666, used in the Book of Revelations to denote a beast from below with horns. The wood to make the mystical creations came from a dumpster, the shining metal from a wino in return for a pint of Four Roses.Just watched Satan and Adam - blues music doc on netflix

‘Five Fingers Magee’ also released cuts on Ray Charles’ label but grew frustrated with the industry and soon faded into obscurity. His wife died of cancer in the 70s. At odds with the world, he assumes the alter ego Satan. Curiously, his love of the #blues came not from some deep self-pity but as a defiant expression of joy. Think ‘blue’ and pleasurable things come to mind for him, like the ocean or sky.So in the Netflix doc - one of their managers complains that Mr. Satan's mind was not stable even though his music was great - his philosophy was disagreeable. Mr. Satan then says how a circle is a square and vice versa and the secret is 666. We know this truth - we know Mr. Satan is talking genius.
Sterling Magee on his own - aka Mr. Satan
the area of the square as 81, and the area of the circle (octagon?) on the inside as 64.Little Red Rooster
Whether the figure is an octagon or a circle is up for some debate. Richard Gillings argues it is an octagon, because the other circles that show up in the manuscript (like for #50) are obviously drawn as circles, but it’s possible the author affected a different stroke because the figure is inscribed within a square. I’m going with circle, because an area of 64 for the octagon isn’t just approximate, it’s wrong.
and that the 18 missing squares can be arranged (with one overlapping) like so
It’s quite possible to imagine the area of the circle as the approximate area of the 8 by 8 square remaining.So you get 9 for the square as 81 area and 8 for the circle (as 64, assuming the circle is a square).
So that solves Mr. Satan's claim that a square is a circle and vice versa.
Sterling Magee on his own again
Now in terms of music we know that in Egypt the harmonic ratio or fraction 2/3 was sacred and not allowed to be reduced! Now we know how that was connected to the secret of squaring the circle and vice versa! So in other words 2 cubed as 8 and 3 squared as 9 - or as we know by doubling the octave that 6:8:9:12 is the closest ratio from 2/3 as a common denominator.
Mr. Satan -
And so 8:9 is the ratio of the circle to the square using 2/3 as infinite complementary opposites.
Example of finding the area of a round field with a diameter of 9 khet. What is its area?Adam Gussow releases his favorite audio of Mr. Satan and him
Take away 1/9 of its diameter, namely 1. The remainder is 8.
Multiply 8 times, making 64. Therefore the area is 64 setjat.
translates in the original Egyptian as:
So when Mr. Satan was playing on the street - for respect of his community - and a local says it's like he is challenging God - yes and then when Mr. Satan introduces himself in his nursing home - to an AFrican-American nurse - as "Mr. Satan" - you can see her almost cringe. haha.
So the idea being that blues music was considered the Devil's music compared to God or Gospel music - and Mr. Satan complained about Ray Charles hogging the limelight away from his other musicians around him. And so Mr. Satan is reclaiming the secret Mojo Power of Blues as not dependent on the Western definition of God.
It's not based on pi mathematics as a symmetric ratio process but rather an infinite square/circle process via harmonic ratios as alchemy.
the Egyptians get with the circle area formula of
