<\/a><\/p>\nWe all know Houdini, the most famous magician that ever lived. I find it interesting that such a famous magician has made it onto Hurley\u2019s list with a great magician\u2019s \u2018 sorcery\u2019 being questioned by some as having demonic influence. Manly P. Hall, a mystic and mason, explained that highly gifted magicians performed their magic with help from a demonic spirit who serves the sorcerer for the length of his earthly life, with the understanding that after death the magician shall become the servant of his own demon.
\nThat\u2019s not all. Houdini was also very interested in the occult and spent a lot of time trying to expose fraudulent psychics.<\/p>\n

William Butler Yeats<\/h3>\n
William Butler Yeats, an Irish poet, had a deep interest in the occult, metaphysics and paranormal activities and he often displayed these interests in his poems.He spent a lifetime seeking contact with the spirit world through occult researches and practices that influenced much of what he did and wrote. \n Soren Kierkegaard was a 19th century Danish philosopher who is often described as the \u2018Father of Existentialism\u2019. \n Blavatsky is certainly not a surprising figure to find in Hurley\u2019s list of \u2018imaginary friends\u2019. Born in 1831, Helena Blavatsky was a Russian occultist, medium and writer of the occult book, \u2018The Secret Doctrine\u2019. She spoke of Satan highly, believing him to be the creator, and had strong connections with Masonic organizations.<\/p>\n \n Ezra Pound was a poet and critic who at the start of his career was actually secretary to William Yeats, another literary figure on this list. It\u2019s said one of the main reasons Pound travelled to London in 1908 was to further his acquaintance with occult teachings through William Yeats, who is well-known to have been involved in esoteric circles. Despite Pound showing skepticism toward\u2019s some of Yeat\u2019s occult beliefs he actually valued his teachings and went on to interact with other occult figures.<\/p>\n \n Jimmy Page, the guitarist from the rock band Led Zeppelin, is often connected with satanic practices. \n I was surprised to see Beyonc\u00e9 on this list, although she has frequently been connected with the Illuminati with many rumours circulating that she is in fact inline with a secret society. She is often accused of devil worship, mainly due to the symbols and \u2018occult\u2019 signs used in her music performances, videos and photographs. If you want to find out more, a quick Google search will bring up many conspiracy theories behind Beyonce\u2019s supposed devil worship and cult involvement.<\/p>\n If this list wasn\u2019t strange enough I\u2019ve also managed to find connections between the 7 of Hurley\u2019s \u2018imaginary friends\u2019.

\nYeats joined the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn- a secret society that practiced ritual magic.<\/p>\nSoren Kierkegaard<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
\nDespite Kierkegaard\u2019s writings containing religious themes, he was referred to as \u2018The Tragic Satan\u2019. This is perhaps due to his belief in existentialism that went against the fundamental teachings of Christianity- believing that the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent, determining their own development through acts of the will, instead of a person\u2019s fate being determined by God alone.
\nNote that this philosopher\u2019s name itself has occult meaning. Soren can be used as a Danish euphemism for Satan and Kierkegaard is translated as church or graveyard.<\/p>\nHelena Blavatsky<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nEzra Pound<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\nJimmy Page<\/h3>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n
\nLed Zeppelin\u2019s Stairway to Heaven is infamous for its satanic message when played backward. Many of the band’s songs contain occult and satanic symbolism.
\nJimmy page also admired the evil occultist Aleister Crowley and even bought his former house, which Crowley used to practise satanic rituals.<\/p>\nBeyonce<\/h3>\n
