"Eight Teenagers Are Building a Country — And They've Made Me Their Merlin"

ON THIS DAY IN OCCULT HISTORY March 6 Eight Teenagers Are Building a Country — And They've Made Me Their Merlin In a chaotic political landscape, eight teenagers are doing the impossible: taking the reins on their own future and forming their own country ... and Modern Occultist is here to help.  By C.M. Kushins, Publisher — Modern Occultist Digital Magazine (Affiliate disclosure: Some links on this blog may earn us a small commission at no cost to you. Every bit helps keep the lantern lit.) I have a confession to make. When we were first asked if Modern Occultist might consider becoming a spiritual sponsor for a micronation — a self-declared teenage-run country called Gapla , situated on 54 acres of forested, unclaimed land between Serbia and Croatia — my first instinct was to smile and feel a tad jealous that I hadn’t thought of that at seventeen-years-old. But my assumption that Gapla was a school project, perhaps, or game between friends was quickly proven wro...

"Happy Birthday, Lon Milo DuQuette: The Mark Twain of the Occult" / OCCULT READS PRESENTS: "My Life with the Spirits" & "An Accidental Christ"

ON THIS DAY IN OCCULT HISTORY July 11 Happy Birthday, Lon Milo DuQuette:  The Mark Twain of the Occult (Affiliate disclosure: Some links on this blog may earn us a small commission at no cost to you. Every bit helps keep the lantern lit.) The Coconut Grove at the Ambassador Hotel, circa 1970…. A young acid-cowboy duo called Charley D. and Milo has been booked, against their better judgment, to back Sammy Davis Jr. for one night, in front of a room that includes John Wayne, Nancy Sinatra, Zsa Zsa Gabor, and a stoned young George Carlin who wanders up afterward to tell them they were “groovy.” Everything is going fine until Sammy starts introducing the next number—“Spinning Wheel”—a song the two guitarists have never learned. Lon Milo DuQuette and his partner quietly slip their guitars off, creep offstage, and leave Sammy Davis Jr. alone with only the drummer to get him through it. They never worked with the William Morris Agency again. Neither, as it turned out, did the agen...

"George Harrison's Material World, and OCCULT READS' First 'Daily Occult Review'"

ON THIS DAY IN OCCULT HISTORY June 22 All Glories to Sri Krsna: George Harrison's Living in the Material World (Affiliate disclosure: Some links on this blog may earn us a small commission at no cost to you. Every bit helps keep the lantern lit.)     On this date in 1973, George Harrison's fourth studio album arrived in Britain wrapped in a gatefold sleeve bearing four words few rock records before or since have dared print on their cover: “All Glories to Sri Krsna.” Inside, a reproduction of a Krishna devotional painting depicted the god alongside the warrior Arjuna in a chariot pulled by a seven-headed horse. The front cover showed Harrison's hand holding a Hindu medallion, photographed using Kirlian photography at UCLA's parapsychology department. Surprising many of Harrison’s longtime fans, this was not an album that hid its devotion; it was an album built, structurally and spiritually, as a true act of worship. Living in the Material World had already topp...
