The Dedalus Book of the 1960s by Gary Lachman
In The Dedalus Book of the 1960s: Turn Off Your Mind, Gary Lachman uncovers the Love Generation's roots in occultism and explores the dark side of the Age of Aquarius. His provocative revision of the 1960s counterculture links Flower Power to mystical fascism, and follows the magical current that enveloped luminaries like the Beatles, Timothy Leary and the Rolling Stones, and darker stars like Charles Manson, Anton LaVey, and the Process Church of the Final Judgment. Acclaimed by satanists and fundamentalist Christians alike, this edition includes a revised text incorporating new material on the 'suicide cult' surrounding Carlos Castaneda; the hippy serial killer Charles Sobhraj; the strange case of Ira Einhorn, 'the Unicorn'; the CIA and ESP; the new millennialism and more. From H.P. Lovecraft to the Hell's Angels, find out how the Morning of the Magicians became the Night of the Living Dead.Gary Lachman is a well-known author who specializes in esoteric and occult subjects. His publications have earned international praise, including Swedenborg, Jung the Mystic, and Rudolf Steiner. Lachman was a founding member of Blondie & is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is based in London.
