‘Godfather Of Rave’ Laid To Rest

The Victorian church in Hampstead had probably never seen the like.

Shamans, Pagan high priestesses and ragamuffin travellers packed the pews of St Luke’s in Kidderpore Avenue last Wednesday for the distinctly unorthodox funeral of Fraser Clark, the so-called “Godfather of Rave” music.

Revellers came from as far as the United States to accompany Mr Clark – a pioneer of the 1980s “rave” scene

Swan Feathers Linked To Cornish Witches’ Fertility Rituals

Jacqui Wood, a British archaeologist has been digging at the site at Saveock Water, where remains of what appears to be witchcraft rituals have just been discovered. Swan feathers, human hair, the remains of 57 unhatched eggs and nail clippings are among some of the offerings found in a 17th century stone-lined pit that could have been a “holy well.” There was additional evidence that the well had

Freedom Of Religion: An East Lake Story

Goddamn pagans. It was the third time in less than a month I had had to respond to negotiate peace between them and the fire marshal, and my patience was wearing thin.

The first contact several weeks ago was quite a novelty—and maybe even a pleasure. There I was in East Lake (perilously close to the genetic hinterland known as “Black Bottom” at that), and what do I find but a nest of folks pr

One expert claims that the number of Wiccan exp

State representative Mike Ritze, the author of House Bill 1330, wants to use $10,000 of his own money to showcase the monument.

State representative Wallace Collins says he will vote ‘no’ on the bill for several reasons.

“If we allow him to do this, then what if

End Of The Road For Trailblazing Hippy

A writer, spiritualist and trailblazing hippy from West Hampstead who spent his life promoting peace and love has died.

Fraser Clark, best remembered as founder of London’s Megatripolis nightclub, finally succumbed to his battle with liver cancer at the age of 66.
