Season of the Witch
How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll
This epic cultural and historical odyssey unearths the full influence
of occult traditions on rock and roll -- from the Beatles to Black
Sabbath -- and shows how the marriage between mysticism and music
changed our world.
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 a key ingredient
behind the emergence and development of rock and roll.
With
vivid storytelling and laser-sharp analysis, writer and critic Peter
Bebergal illuminates this web of influences to produce the definitive
work on how the occult shaped -- and saved -- popular music.
As
Bebergal explains, occult and mystical ideals gave rock and roll its
heart and purpose, making rock into more than just backbeat music, but
into a cultural revolution of political, spiritual, sexual, and social
liberation.
