Critics Review
“David Bowie’s journey from devastating post-WWII poverty, running alongside mental illness and addiction, took him through the Gnostic hell of fallen man to create something truly magical and original in both his music and his persona. He ultimately transformed into an elevated man, living his version of heaven in this riveting tale of the untold Gnostic journey of a game-changing rock star.” * Regina Meredith, host of OpenMinds on Gaia TV and cofounder of Conscious Media Network *
“David Bowie may have been the Man Who Fell to Earth, but he was one alien determined to get off it again. Miguel Conner’s infectious account of the Gnostic proclivities of the Thin White Duke makes for addictive reading.” * Gary Lachman, author of Touched by the Presence: From Blondie’s Bowery and Rock and Roll to Ma *
“Peering into the manifold layers of the psyche of David Bowie seems like a Herculean task, and who better to go spelunking into the caves of a Starman than Miguel Conner? The hidden diamond dog mines of one of the world’s greatest artists are laid bare for all to behold in this delightful volume that will leave your eyes and mouth agape with wonder.” * Maja D’Aoust, Witch of the Dawn, author of Astrology of the Shadow Self, Familiars in Witchcra *
“A mind-bending, reality-shaking adventure through outer space and inner space to find the deepest truths about Bowie. And if you’re ready to travel beyond the beyond, you couldn’t hope for a more knowledgeable, imaginative, or friendly guide than Conner. Escape velocity achieved!” * Peter Ormerod, author of David Bowie and the Search for Life, Death and God *
“Bowie, the man who chatted about The Tibetan Book of the Dead poolside in the 1970s during an interview for Creem magazine, would have enjoyed The Occult David Bowie’s insightful survey of his mysticism and mythology more than any other biography written about him. It captures the magical play of light and shadow that entranced several generations of his adoring fans while exploring his transformative cultural impact with a keen eye and wit.” * Ronnie Pontiac, author of The Rosicrucian Counterculture and American Metaphysical Religion *
