An Excerpt from the False Prophet Azazel by John of the Gentiles An Excerpt from The False Prophet Azazel by John of the Gentiles Charles Manson, whose nickname was ‘The Wizard,’ he being heavily into black magic and witchcraft, was himself a friend of Dennis Wilson, founding member and drummer for The Beach Boys with Wilson at one point even hosting members of the murderous Manson Family in his home. Family-member Susan Atkins has written in Child of Satan, Child of God: “…we spent a lot of time at Dennis’ house on Sunset Boulevard. Large numbers of us lived there for irregular, but sometimes lengthly, periods.” Tex Watson, Charles Manson’s ‘right hand man,’ in his biography, Will You Die for Me? describes the scene at the home of Dennis Wilson: “People came and went, a peculiar mix of young dropouts like me, drug dealers, and people in the entertainment business. It was a strange time in Hollywood. It had become chic to play the hippie game, and the children of the big stars partied with gurus like Dean (Moorehouse) and Charlie (Manson) and listened to them and bought drugs from them and took hippie kids to bed and let them drive their expensive cars and crash in their Bel Air mansions (to this list of movie star’s children must be added the daughter of Rat Pack member Dean Martin. As we learn from Ed Sanders in The Process: “Manson…once gave Dean Martin’s daughter a ring at Dennis Wilson’s beachhouse.”). Everyone felt aware and free…life was one big party. Rock musicians and hopeful singers like Charlie (Manson), actors and hopeful actors, girls who didn’t do anything, producers like Terry Melcher (Doris Day’s son), talent people, managers like Gregg Jakobson (Jakobson was a friend of Charles Manson), and stars’ children would all come over to the house and it would be a drug circus. Charlie (Manson) always managed to show up for the parties.” - Will You Die for Me? As Manson himself explains it: “We (Manson and his group of girls) were invited to private parties in Beverly Hills, Malibu and other exclusive areas. A lot of the movie people shot up heroine, smoked opium, free-based and snorted cocaine.” – p. 132 Manson in His Own Words. And Manson was one of their drug suppliers. It was in fact there at Dennis Wilson’s house where the Manson Family-member and convicted murderer Tex Watson first fatefully met Charles Manson. And it was Dennis Wilson’s house that allegedly actually witnessed the birth of the Manson Family itself. According to the San Francisco Chronicle’s Senior Pop Music Correspondent Joel Selvin, Dennis Wilson once told him his most deepest darkest secret, that in fact: “Me (Dennis Wilson) and Charlie (Manson)…we founded the Family” (See Joel Selvin on Dennis Wilson, the Beach Boys' Puck, San Francisco Chronicle, October 15, 2010). OTO-member Gary Lachman in Turn Off Your Mind pp. 320-321 explains that the goings-on at Dennis’ house had been organized as a modern day Hell Fire Club (and quite likely it was a functioning OTO lodge) formed by Dennis Wilson, Terry Melcher and Gregg Jakobson: “With his friends, producer Terry Melcher and talent scout Gregg Jakobson, (Dennis) Wilson had formed an LA-style Hell Fire Club, called the Golden Penatrators…With the Manson girls, Wilson hit the jackpot. Manson organized his orgies like a Dionysian tableau vivant, choreographing the activities with meticulous precision. The Wizard (this was Manson’s nickname) would hand out drugs—acid (LSD), mushrooms, mescaline, whatever was on hand…It is unclear how many names on the LA music scene participated in Manson’s priapic (read: black magick sex-magic) rites—for a while both Wilson’s Brentwood mansion and the ghostly Spahn Ranch had a reputation as heavy raves. After the (Manson Family) killings, roadie Phil Kaufman (who got his start in the business working for The Rolling Stones), friend of the Flying Burritos Brothers and Rolling Stones (both of which bands performed at the Altamont Free Concert; Flying Burritos Brothers band-member Gram Parsons was a close friend of Rolling Stones’ band members), ex-cell mate of Manson (Phil Kaufman and Charles Manson had been cell-mates at the Federal Correctional Institution on Terminal Island) and later producer of his infamous Lie album (formally Lie: The Love and Terror Cult including Manson’s song ‘Cease to Exist’ which had been previously recorded by The Beach Boys under the name ‘Never Learn Not to Love’ released on The Beach Boys’ album 20/20), reckoned that he had slept with every one of the murderesses.” Included amongst this crowd was musician Neil Young (Neil Young was a friend of Dean Stockwell who had himself been a member of Jack Parsons’ OTO Lodge; Neil Young was also a friend of Dennis Hopper [these three would later team up to create the 1982 A.D. apocalyptic cult-classic comedy Human Highway. Dennis Hopper was also a friend of Jack Parson’s neighbor Kenneth Anger. I assume Stockwell, Hopper and Anger all frequented Dennis Wilson’s house as well]; Neil Young performed at the Altamont Free Concert with his band Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young): “Neil Young…recalled sharing a couch with (Manson Family ‘murderesses’) Linda Kasabian and Patricia Krenwinkel, singing a song, at Dennis’s (Dennis Wilson’s) house…as Young remarked, ‘A lot of pretty well-known musicians around LA knew him [Charlie] (Manson), though they’d probably deny it now’” (See Turn Off Your Mind p.323). The Wiccan witch Doreen Valiente described these goings-on in greater detail: “…(Charles Manson) presided over rites of orgiastic sex. The eye-witness descriptions given of these show that he did indeed have some knowledge of magical sex rituals. He was described as standing in the centre of a circle of men and girls. When he signaled the rite to commence, the girls would surround him, kissing his feet and treating him as an incarnate god (the typical role played by the high-priest in a witch’s coven). Meanwhile, the men sat back in meditation, while the drugs they were taking took effect. When Manson judged the time was right, all joined in communal (orgiastic) sexual acts, passing around the circle from one partner to another until they were too exhausted to continue. These practices were supposed to raise magical power...” – pp. 280-281 An ABC of Witchcraft Past and Present, 1973 A.D. Manson was essentially high-priest of his very own witch’s coven: “According to Linda Kasabian’s (courtroom) testimony, the men of Manson’s clan called themselves witches, and ‘Charlie called all the girls witches’” (Ibid p. 281). It is also said Manson was a member of the Solar Lodge OTO in which Neil Young’s friend Dean Stockwell was a member—it would seem these rituals were part and parcel. Charles Manson was also known to have hung out at the Whisky a Go-Go night-club with The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson and Gregg Jakobson (See Turn Off Your Mind p. 324; The Whisky a Go-Go was where the Anton LaVey-associated Vito Paulekas, who danced on a raised platform near the main stage at the Altamont Free Concert, was also known to hang out. Jim Morrison of The Doors was a good friend of Whisky a Go-Go owner/Mafioso Elmer Valentine, and Neil Young’s band Buffalo Springfield played a seven week stint as house band at the Whisky a Go-Go from May 2 to June 18, 1966 A.D.). Terry Melcher in fact had been the previous renter of the house where the Manson Family’s Tate-murders had taken place. Melcher and Jakobson were also friends of Kenneth Anger’s live-in boyfriend and Manson Family member/convicted murderer Bobby Beausoleil who was known to have jammed with Dennis Wilson and who was also known to have frequented The Whisky a Go-Go. So you can begin to see how the Altamont Free Concert was organized, as we shall later discover, as a staged magic- ritual event by an OTO magic-practicing group operating out of Beach Boys-member Dennis Wilson’s house in order to commemorate the 60th anniversary of an Aleister Crowley magic- ritual—more on this subject later. The film Rosemarie’s Baby, based on a novel by sci-fi writer Ira Levin, starring Mia Farrow, was a 1968 A.D. Hollywood occult-subject offering by Jewish director Roman Polanski (Polanski also had written and directed a film entitled When Angels Fall [1959 A.D.]). The year following the movie’s release, Polanski’s pregnant wife, a real life witch named Sharon Tate, was murdered by the Church of Scientology/OTO-associated mass-murderer Charles Manson and the infamous Manson Family (certain members of the Manson Family were in fact as we shall learn attendees of Anton LaVey’s Church of Satan). Curiously enough, Anton LaVey (who incidently enough also lived in San Francisco, CA establishing his Church of Satan there in 1966 A.D. which included a number of members of U.S. Army Intelligence) also played a character known as His Satanic Majesty (a common Freemasonic moniker for the devil) in the Aleister Crowley-infatuated underground-filmmaker and OTO member Kenneth Anger’s horrific 11 minute film entitled Invocation of My Demon Brother (1969 A.D.) featuring music specially composed by Rolling Stones band-member Mick Jagger (the Rolling Stones even issued an album entitled Their Satanic Majesties Request in 1967 A.D.). Kenneth Anger, a member of Anton LaVey’s original ‘Magic Circle,’ had also begun production of another film called Lucifer Rising in 1966 A.D.

    THE BOOGIE MAN Boogie pianist Ben Waters has a new record out, entitled ‘Boogie 4 Stu’, paying tribute to Ian Stewart, a founding member of The Rolling Stones, who went on to become their road manager. As a long term fan of Stewart and his playing, Ben talked to his friend Charlie Watts about paying tribute with an album. Watts immediately wanted to be a part of it, which led to fellow Stones Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards hurling themsleves into the fray. Ex-Stones man Bill Wyman threw his name into the hat, along with fellow gifted ivory tinkler Jools Holland. With a star studded guest list, a portrait of Ian Stewart being commissioned by Sir Peter Blake for the cover and proceeds from the album going toward raising funds for the British Heart Foundation, James Gaden thought it was time Ben got to tell people all about it. Ben, you’re an experienced pianist in your own right and have worked with a host of big names - for readers unfamiliar with your work, can you provide a brief overview of your work to date? I started playing piano when I was about 14ish. My first exposure to this kind of music was Ian Stewart playing at my aunt and uncle’s 25th wedding anniversary. Shortly after this, Fats Domino’s 60th Birthday was on TV with Ray Charles and Jerry ‘Boogie For Stu’, as I mentioned just then, this was because of his love for Lionel Lee Lewis. I really fell in love with the music and wanted to start playing.

  • America's Fascination with Multiple Murder
    CHAPTER ONE AMERICA’S FASCINATION WITH MULTIPLE MURDER he break of dawn on November 16, 1957, heralded the start of deer hunting T season in rural Waushara County, Wisconsin. The men of Plainfield went off with their hunting rifles and knives but without any clue of what Edward Gein would do that day. Gein was known to the 647 residents of Plainfield as a quiet man who kept to himself in his aging, dilapidated farmhouse. But when the men of the vil- lage returned from hunting that evening, they learned the awful truth about their 51-year-old neighbor and the atrocities that he had ritualized within the walls of his farmhouse. The first in a series of discoveries that would disrupt the usually tranquil town occurred when Frank Worden arrived at his hardware store after hunting all day. Frank’s mother, Bernice Worden, who had been minding the store, was missing and so was Frank’s truck. But there was a pool of blood on the floor and a trail of blood leading toward the place where the truck had been garaged. The investigation of Bernice’s disappearance and possible homicide led police to the farm of Ed Gein. Because the farm had no electricity, the investigators con- ducted a slow and ominous search with flashlights, methodically scanning the barn for clues. The sheriff’s light suddenly exposed a hanging figure, apparently Mrs. Worden. As Captain Schoephoerster later described in court: Mrs. Worden had been completely dressed out like a deer with her head cut off at the shoulders.

  • Keith Richards Has Memories to Burn
    UNCLASSIFIED U.S. Department of State Case No. F-2014-20439 Doc No. C05773954 Date: 08/31/2015 RELEASE IN PART B6 From: Ebeling, Betsy < B6 Sent: Friday, October 22, 2010 11:03 AM To: Subject: for your mom Keith Richards Has Memories to Burn By JANET MASLIN It is 3 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time in the New York office of Keith Richards's manager, a place that might look ordinary if every wall and shelf were not crammed with some of the world's most glorious rock 'n' roll memorabilia. Mr. Richards has a 3 o'clock appointment. "Come on in, he'll be here in a minute," an assistant says — and here he comes in a minute, at 3:01. This from a man who once prided himself for operating on Keith Time, as in: the security staff ate the shepherd's pie that Keith wanted in his dressing room? Then everyone in this packed stadium can bloody well wait. The Rolling Stones don't play until another shepherd's pie shows up. Chalk up the promptness to the man's new incarnation: he is now Keith Richards, distinguished author. True, he is far from the only rock star to turn memoirist, and far from the only Rolling Stone to write a book about himself — very much about himself. The raven-haired Ron Wood wrote "Ronnie," in which he described Brian Jones as "me in a blond wig." Bill Wyman, the band's retired bass player and bean counter, wrote "Stone Alone," in which not a 15-shilling demo disc went unmentioned.

  • 1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in the Guardian, June 2007
    1,000 Films to See Before You Die Published in The Guardian, June 2007 http://film.guardian.co.uk/1000films/0,,2108487,00.html Ace in the Hole (Billy Wilder, 1951) Prescient satire on news manipulation, with Kirk Douglas as a washed-up hack making the most of a story that falls into his lap. One of Wilder's nastiest, most cynical efforts, who can say he wasn't actually soft-pedalling? He certainly thought it was the best film he'd ever made. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (Tom Shadyac, 1994) A goofy detective turns town upside-down in search of a missing dolphin - any old plot would have done for oven-ready megastar Jim Carrey. A ski-jump hairdo, a zillion impersonations, making his bum "talk" - Ace Ventura showcases Jim Carrey's near-rapturous gifts for physical comedy long before he became encumbered by notions of serious acting. An Actor's Revenge (Kon Ichikawa, 1963) Prolific Japanese director Ichikawa scored a bulls-eye with this beautifully stylized potboiler that took its cues from traditional Kabuki theatre. It's all ballasted by a terrific double performance from Kazuo Hasegawa both as the female-impersonator who has sworn vengeance for the death of his parents, and the raucous thief who helps him. The Addiction (Abel Ferrara, 1995) Ferrara's comic-horror vision of modern urban vampires is an underrated masterpiece, full- throatedly bizarre and offensive. The vampire takes blood from the innocent mortal and creates another vampire, condemned to an eternity of addiction and despair. Ferrara's mob movie The Funeral, released at the same time, had a similar vision of violence and humiliation.

  • Lost Knowledge of the Imagination
    Praise for Gary Lachman “The Lost Knowledge of the Imagination rejoins the parted Red Sea of modern intellect, demonstrating how rationalism and esotericism are not divided forces but necessary complements and parts of a whole in the human wish for understanding. More still, he elevates the relevancy of spiritual philosophies that we are apt to short-shrift, from Crowley to positive thinking, and issues a warning: If thoughts are causative, it is all the more vital that we, the thinkers, know ourselves.” Mitch Horowitz, PEN Award-winning author of Occult America and One Simple Idea: How Positive Thinking Reshaped Modern Life “A cracking author.” Lynn Picknett, Magonia Review of Books “Lachman is an easy to read author yet has a near encyclopaedic knowledge of esotericism and is hence able to offer many different perspectives on the subject at hand.” Living Traditions magazine “Lachman’s sympathetic, but not uncritical, account of [Rudolf Steiner’s] life is to be recommended to anyone who wishes to be better informed about this gifted and remarkable man.” Kevin Tingay, The Christian Parapsychologist “Lachman challenges many contemporary theories by reinserting a sense of the spiritual back into the discussion” Leonard Schlain, author of The Alphabet Versus the Goddess “Lachman’s depth of reading and research are admirable.” Scientific and Medical Network Review For Kathleen Raine (1908-2003), who showed the way Contents Title Page Dedication Acknowledgments Chapter One: A Different Kind of Knowing Chapter Two: A Look Inside the World Chapter Three: The Knower and the Known Chapter Four: The Way Within Chapter Five: The Learning of the Imagination Chapter Six: The Responsible Imagination Further Reading Also by Gary Lachman Copyright Acknowledgments My thanks go to my editor Christopher Moore for taking on the project and to the staff of the British Library where most of the research was done.

It is our intention that religious programs will promote positive values and moral practices to foster healthy relationships, especially within the families of those under our jurisdiction and within the communities to which they are returning. As a Department, we commit to providing religious as well as cultural opportunities for offenders within available resources, while maintaining facility security, safety, health and orderly operations. The Department will not endorse any religious faith or cultural group, but we will ensure that religious programming is consistent with the provisions of federal and state statutes, and will work hard with the Religious, Cultural and Faith Communities to ensure that the needs of the incarcerated community are fairly met. This desk manual has been prepared for use by chaplains, administrators and other staff of the Washington State Department of Corrections. It is not meant to be an exhaustive study of all religions. It does provide a brief background of most religions having participants housed in Washington prisons. This manual is intended to provide general guidelines, and define practice and procedure for Washington State Department of Corrections institutions. It is intended to be used in conjunction with Department policy. While it does not confer theological expertise, it will, provide correctional workers with the information necessary to respond too many of the religious concerns commonly encountered.

  • The Orkustra
    THE ORKUSTRA This day-by-day diary of The Orkustra's live, studio, broadcasting and private activities is the result of two decades of research and interview work by Bruno Ceriotti, but without the significant contributions by other kindred spirits this diary would not have been possible. So, I would like to thank all the people who, in one form or another, contributed to this timeline: Jaime Leopold (RIP), Bobby Beausoleil, David LaFlamme, Henry Rasof, Nathan Zakheim, Stephen Hannah, Jesse Barish, Steve LaRosa, Rod Harper (RIP), Colin Hill, Ross Hannan, Corry Arnold, William Hjortsberg, Aldo Pedron, Klemen Breznikar, Reg E.

September 1966 Undoubtedly the most experimental and ecletically diverse band of the so-called 'San Francisco Sound', The Orkustra were put together by the infamous Bobby Beausoleil. A larger than life character with a mixed reputation ("He was like Bugs Bunny," says Orkustra's bandmate Nathan Zakheim. "Very in your face, enthuastic."), Robert Kenneth Beausoleil, aka 'Cupid', aka 'Bummer Bob', aka 'Bobby Snofox', was born on Thursday, November 6, 1947, in Santa Barbara, California. After dropping out of high school and let his hair grow out, Bobby moved to Los Angeles in search of fame and fortune in 1965. There, over the summer, he played a six-string rhythm guitar with The Grass Roots, a folk- rock band later known as LOVE, for only three weeks, and also made a cameo appearance (as 'Cupid') in the famous underground documentary movie Mondo Hollywood.

  • The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor Lavey
    Called “The Black Pope” by many of his followers, Anton LaVey began the road to High Priesthood of the Church of Satan when he was only 16 years old and an organ player in a carnival: “On Saturday night I would see men lusting after half‐naked girls dancing at the carnival, and on Sunday morning when I was playing the organ for tent‐show evangelists at the other end of the carnival lot, I would see these same men sitting in the pews with their wives and children, asking God to forgive them and purge them of carnal desires. And the next Saturday night they’d be back at the carnival or some other place of indulgence. “I knew then that the Christian Church thrives on hypocrisy, and that man’s carnal nature will out!” From that time early in his life his path was clear. Finally, on the last night of April, 1966– Walpurgisnacht, the most important festival of the believers in witchcraft–LaVey shaved his head in the tradition of ancient executioners and announced the formation of The Church Of Satan. He had seen the need for a church that would recapture man’s body and his carnal desires as objects of celebration. “Since worship of fleshly things produces pleasure,” he said, “there would then be a temple of glorious indulgence. .” The Satanic Bible Anton Szandor LaVey For Diane Dedications To: Bernadino Logara, who knew the value of money Karl Haushofer, a teacher without a classroom Rasputin, who knew the magic of a child Sir Basil Zaharoff, a gentleman Cagliostro, a rogue Barnabas Saul, the link with Mount Lalesh Ragnar Redbeard, whose might is right William Mortensen, who looked .
