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. Writer and critic Peter Bebergal illuminates this web of influences to produce the definitive work on how the occult shaped – and saved – popular music.
