“A lively new book.”—The Guardian
• Draws on firsthand accounts from Elvis’s wife, Priscilla, his friends and family, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors
• Looks at key teachers who influenced him, including Yogananda, H. P. Blavatsky, and Manly P. Hall
• Examines Elvis’s efforts as a natural healer, the significance of his UFO encounters, and his telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveling abilities
Elvis Presley, the most successful solo artist in history and an emblematic cultural figure of the Western world, has been widely perceived as a conservative Southern Christian. However, the truth about the man has been missed.
Writer and researcher Miguel Conner reveals how Elvis was a profound mystic, occultist, and shaman. Beginning with the unusual circumstances of his birth—and his stillborn twin brother—Conner traces the diverse thread of mysticism that runs through Elvis Presley’s life, drawing on firsthand accounts from the people closest to him, including his wife, Priscilla, the Memphis Mafia, and his spiritual advisors. He shows how Elvis studied seminal 19th- and 20th-century occultists, including H. P. Blavatsky, Manly P. Hall, G. I. Gurdjieff, and P. D. Ouspensky, and was a devotee of Indian yogi Paramahansa Yogananda. Conner argues that Elvis was well-versed in the esoteric practices of sex magic, meditation, astrology, and numerology and had a deep familiarity with Kabbalah, Gnosticism, Theosophy, and Eastern traditions. He also reveals how Elvis was a natural healer, telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveler who had significant mystical experiences and UFO encounters.
Looking at the conspiratorial and paranormal aspects of Elvis’s life, the author explores the "Elvis visitations" that have occurred since the King’s death and the general high weirdness of his life. As Conner convincingly argues, Elvis was not just a one-of-a-kind rock-and-roller. He was the greatest magician America ever produced.

Also recommended to me by Whitley Strieber, and would be well followed by Christopher Knowles Secret History of Rock and Roll. Are you a Beatles fan or an Elvis fan? Hail to the king, baby.

Check it out. Very enlightening. I left with a far more favorable opinion about Elvis than before I read this book.
Fantastic Book

Now the narrator is British, but I am not talking about the difference between American and British English pronunciations. I am well versed in those. This is not about that. These are mispronunciations on either side of the pond and done constantly.
Then there the overall annoyance of the sloppy speech, where the narrator continuously drops entire syllables out of words and will nilly bastardizes words. It's outrageously bad. This narrator should have been fired one chapter in. They should never be employed again to narrate a book.
As to the content of the book itself, the author does get a bit carried away with armchair diagnostics and analysis of Elvis, without Elvis around to speak for himself. I am also well versed in Jungian Studies, in addiction and recovery, and in theology, the occult, gnosticism, and psychic arts. All of these are my areas of formal study and lifelong interests. The armchair Jungian analysis of Elvis is frankly annoying and no real Jungian would be so unprofessional.
Turning Elvis into a veritable Demi-God is quite a thing. So take what you will from the book, and leave the silly stuff behind. There's interesting information about Elvis, interesting anecdotes, and an overflow of speculation. Elvis was clearly a gnostic and a deeply spiritual man who took his spirituality very seriously. This is a nice addition to knowing more about the King.
Let's not make him into something he wasn't, however.
My recommendation is to read the book and avoid the audiobook at all costs. Definitely a book for the Elvis aficionado.
Interesting Thesis: audiobook narration is poor
