Season Of The Witch by Peter Bebergal
How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll
A cultural history that traces how occult, mystical, and esoteric ideas permeated and helped shape rock and roll, arguing that musicians drew on ritual, symbolism, and spiritual seeking to craft sound, image, and rebellion; it follows currents from early blues and jazz through the psychedelic 1960s into hard rock and heavy metal, examines intersections with Crowleyan magic, Eastern spirituality, paganism and Satanic imagery, and shows how those forces influenced aesthetics, performance and the music industry’s responses to cultural change.
