8. Daryl Hall
Many of us remember Daryl Hall as the blond-haired member of the musical duo Hall & Oates. But did you know that Hall immersed himself in the world of the occult for quite some time? “Around 1974, I graduated into the occult, and spent a solid six or seven years immersed in the Kabbala and the Chaldean, Celtic, and Druidic traditions [and] ancient techniques for focusing the inner flame,” he revealed in a 1987 interview with Penthouse.
Hall also claimed to have long-standing heritage in the supernatural, contending that his great-great-grandfather was a warlock and that he was related to occultist Aleister Crowley. Hall was especially interested in Crowley because they both rebelled against their conventional, religious upbringings by trying to infuriate everyone around them with shocking actions.
While Hall seemed quite interested in mysticism in the old days, current accounts show that he’s back together again. “A lot of people go through that kind of thing,” Hall said. “And I went through it, and I retained a lot of it, and I discarded a lot of it. My life was unbalanced at the time, when I was doing that.”
