In this episode, I talk with writer and researcher Miguel Conner about his incredible new book, The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King.
Miguel takes us deep into a side of Elvis Presley that most people have never really seen — beyond the fame and public image — into the world of Elvis the mystic, the healer, the magician.
Drawing from firsthand accounts by Priscilla Presley, Elvis’s family, friends, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors, Miguel shows us just how deeply Elvis was involved in the world of the esoteric. We talk about the spiritual teachers who shaped him, like Yogananda, H.P. Blavatsky, Manly P. Hall, and others, and how Elvis explored meditation, astrology, numerology, and astral travel. Miguel also shares his personal connection with the spirit or oversoul of Elvis, after having a powerful Ayahuasca session.
We also look into the stranger parts of his life — his psychic abilities, UFO encounters, and the mysterious visitations people have reported since his passing.
Miguel paints a compelling picture of Elvis not just as a cultural icon, but as one of the greatest magicians America ever produced.
A powerful and eye-opening conversation... Drop in!
