(#10) John Lennon
- Dec. at 40 (1940-1980)
The Beatles's relationship with the occult has been so controversial and hotly debated that there are whole books on it. Multiple people have tried to piece together "proof" that John Lennon sold his soul to the devil in exchange for fame and fortune. In fact, author Joseph Niezgoda claims he can trace back to the exact moment when Lennon sold his soul, on the night of December 27, 1960.
Some flippant claims Lennon made about selling his soul have had conspiracy theorists speculating for years. A main piece of evidence? The fact that famed occultist Aleister Crowley can be seen on the cover of the Sergeant Pepper album.

(#9) Björk
- 53
Singer, musician, producer, and occasional actress Björk's occult upbringing would be enough to terrify any conservative. When discussing astrology and her beliefs on magic in a 1995 interview she said:
My mum did it. I think she took me to all the occult creatures of Iceland, from the age of zero until I was 18, when I became a rebel anti-hippie. I got my fortune told and everything. I think I probably believe most of it, actually. I’ve got Pluto in a very important place, and that’s what I’m about. I have to re-create the universe every morning when I wake up. And kill it in the evening, which is a bit outrageous, but there you go.
Björk being raised by a witch makes a lot of sense when you consider her tendency toward nature-based and very pagan lyrics.

(#1) Lana Del Rey
- 33
In February 2017, mere weeks after Donald Trump became POTUS, singer Lana del Rey posted a cryptic (now-deleted) tweet that listed four dates and said, "Ingredients can b found online." Her fans followed the tweets and discovered she was part of an international witch effort to hex Trump.
In July 2017, del Rey confirmed to music publication NME that she did in fact participate in the ritual:
Yeah, I did it. Why not? Look, I do a lot of sh*t... I'm in line with Yoko an John and the belief that there's a power to the vibration of a thought. Your thoughts are very powerful things and they become words, and words become actions, and actions lead to physical changes... I really do believe that words are one of the last forms of magic and I'm a bit of a mystic at heart.

(#11) Alan Moore
- 65
Famously known for writing the comic books V For Vendetta and Watchmen, Alan Moore has been a known practicing magician since 1993. Through his own writing he began to question new realms of human consciousness and experience, and thought they were worth exploring himself. Moore believes art and magic are inextricably interlinked and are extensions of one another.
While some consider any dabbling in these areas to be black magic, it looks as though Moore is in pursuit of magical understanding more than laying curses on those who displease him. His patron deity is the snake-god Glycon.

(#3) William S. Burroughs
- Dec. at 83 (1914-1997)
As one of the most famous authors of all time, William S. Burroughs had a lot of significance in 20th century counterculture. While he's known for his book Naked Lunch, Burroughs is less known for his love of curses. As in he placed curses on places and people he didn't like or he felt wronged by. Burroughs claimed he had closed a restaurant in London where he had gotten bad service with magic.
Burroughs and fellow novelist Truman Capote had been insulting each other and their work for years when Burroughs finally reached his breaking point. He cursed the other author in an open letter:
“You will never have anything else. You will never write another sentence above the level of In Cold Blood. As a writer you are finished.”
Weirdly enough, Burroughs' curse came true. The only thing Capote managed to have published before his death a year later got him kicked out of celebrity circles.
