WICCA - THE OCCULT - UFOS - CELEBRITY GOSSIP, AND ROCK 'N' ROLL
A TALE OF NEW YORK'S BEDAZZLING WHITE WITCH
PLUS SOME MAGICKAL SPELLS FOR LOVE, MONEY AND SUCCESS
This is the compelling story of the Wiccan lady Walli Elmlark who saved the life of David Bowie through witchcraft, and put a spell on pop stars and other high profile celebrities during the most dynamic period in rock music - the 1970s.
This book also contains a "How To" section on Candle Burning Magick, plus Wiccan spells for love and money that could work wonders for you. It explains how a knowledge of the true principles of Witchcraft could empower your life, all adapted from the occult philosophy of the White Witch of New York. Walli was known for her dazzling beauty, her goth clothing, silver jewelry and a green streak in her hair, long before such attributes became fashionable.
Through the pages of this book the reader will go back in time to relive this celebrated period, mingling with those who were shaping the counterculture and causing a reconstruction of our social and political belief systems, both through the music and entertainment of this period, and the practice of witchcraft and the occult which was growing in popularity among the youth. Much of the activities described took place backstage at the Academy of Music and as part of the inner circle of the N.Y. School of Occult Arts and Sciences hosted by the psychic world's "Grand Poobah" Tim Beckley.
SHOCKING REVELATIONS
** The British rocker David Bowie had come to the U.S. on his first tour taking on the persona of Ziggy Stardust, an androgynous spaceman from Mars. Bowie was coming under repeated psychic attack. An evil spirit had settled in the swimming pool of his LA residence; black magicians were trying to collect his semen so that they could create a demon baby. Was the Anti-christ looming in his future? All this while becoming more dependent on cocaine which was causing "the man who fell to Earth" to become increasingly paranoid.
Indeed, it seemed like a curse had been placed on rock and roll as any number of its young performers were dying, or becoming deeply depressed regardless of whether drugs were involved or not.
** Glam rocker Marc Bolan of the band T-Rex, for example died prematurely in a car accident. Walli had proclaimed "the wizard with a top hat" to be the reincarnation of the 5th century sorcerer Merlin of King Arthur's court.
** There is also empirical evidence that Jimi Hendrix had a "special mission." It was said that he was from Mars (either physically or reincarnated from the Red Planet) and that he had been reborn here to lift the consciousness of the planet through his music and occult philosophy. UFOs followed him wherever he went. In fact, a stranger from space even saved his life one wintery evening.
** The up and coming comedian Freddie Prinze (Sr.) was possessed by the spirit of Lenny Bruce. He shot himself in the head, though there is some thought that he might have been part of a vast conspiracy because of his fascination with the JFK assassination.
** Then there was Vaughn Bode, the underground cartoonist with a top hat who killed himself by autoerotic asphyxiation, while dressing like a wizard and trying to establish contact with several deities, in a spiritual channeling gone deadly wrong.
