Books, Manuscripts
From the hoodoo-inspired sounds of Elvis Presley to the Eastern odysseys of George Harrison, from the dark dalliances of Led Zeppelin to the Masonic imagery of today's hip-hop scene, the occult has long breathed life into rock and hip hop - and indeed, esoteric and supernatural traditions are the secret ingredient behind the emergence and development of rock and roll. With intellectual substance, vivid storytelling, and laser-sharp analysis, Peter Bebergal illuminates this web of influences to produce 'Season of the Witch', the definitive work on how the occult shaped and saved popular music.
