CHAPTER

Exploring Magic and the Occult through Popular Culture

The chapter discusses the speaker's childhood fascination with the occult magazine 'Man, Myth and Magic' and how it influenced their perception of magic and the paranormal. It explores the cultural acceptance of occultism in the 70s, contrasting it with the satanic panic of the 80s, and delves into the relationship between propaganda, magic, and mind control. The conversation also touches on using technology for performing magic, the concept of magic as a form of resistance, and the personas of influential figures in the magical world.
