Kim Kardashian West
Kim Kardashian West sat down with Long Island Medium Theresa Caputo to presumably talk with her dad, Robert Kardashian Sr.! She had a great time and even said meeting the TLC star was a dream come true.
Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey asked fans to join her in casting a spell on Donald Trump in February 2017. While she was a high profile participant in the ritual, she was just hopping on a highly-publicized and international effort to bind Trump. In July of the same year, Lana spoke to NME about following through on the magical deed, saying:
“Yeah, I did it. Why not? Look, I do a lot of shit. I’m in line with Yoko [Ono] and John [Lennon] 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. And I’ve seen how I feel about changing those people’s lives and I’ve been on the other side of that as well—on the other side of well-wishes and on the other side of malintent. And I’ve realized how strong you have to be to be; bigger than all of it, even bigger than your own vibrations.”
Katy Perry
Back in 2014, Katy Perry visited Salem’s oldest witchcraft store, where rumor has it she performed a love magic ritual.
Azealia Banks
In 2016, Azealia Banks admitted to having her sacrificial chicken killings done in her own home. The rapper has also been open about participating in “Brujería”.
Amber Tamblyn
Amber Tamblyn ousted herself as a working witch in 2018 after the tragic suicide of Anthony Bourdain. Encouraging her followers to conjure up a protection spell for Bourdain’s girlfriend Asia Argento, she tweeted:
“Witches: please prepare the strongest protection spell you have for our sister Asia Argento today. Please lift her up with all the love and light your conjuring is capable of casting.”
Led Zeppelin
Led Zeppelin‘s history is laced with rumors of contracts with the devil and occult worship. Guitarist Jimmy Page made no secret of his obsession with occult leader Aleister Crowley — he even bought his Boleskine House on the shores of Loch Ness! Fans and rock historians alike blame their dealings in the dark arts for the many tragedies they succumbed to.
Carlton Gebbia
Carlton Gebbia from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills identifies as a Celtic pagan witch. She once elaborated on her beliefs, saying
“I take traditions from Wicca and from traditional witchcraft. What I practice is based in harmony. It’s all about Mother Nature. With the pentagram, which is our symbol, or certainly it’s my symbol, it deals with the elements. So it’s my spirit, fire, water, earth, air. It’s [all about] having respect for where we are, where we live and what we live on. I use crystals, candles, some herbs and I recognize holy days. I use the moon a lot. The new moon is probably one of the most powerful times for me. I don’t practice dark magic and there’s such a misconception and negative stigma attached to witchcraft. Not everybody that practices Wicca or paganism is a witch, but I do practice magic. Which sounds so bloody outlandish, I know. But it’s all based on positive energy. It’s all about love, it’s about harmony, and just acknowledgment that there is something beyond this universe that deals with miracles and that miracles are at work.”
Kanye West
Kanye West‘s music video for Coldest Winter debuted in 2010. Directed by Nabil Elderkin, the haunting short film doesn’t feature Yeezy, although West stamped his approval on the project. Due to the dark themes, many fans used this as proof of Kanye’s rumored involvement in the internet’s favorite conspiracy theory — The Illuminati. Though West has since denounced ties to the infamous secret society, the chilling elements of Coldest Winter remain.
Fairuza Balk
Many people know Fairuza Balk for her intense portrayal as a teen witch in The Craft. What many don’t know, however, is that she’s actually a real-life Wiccan!
Chelsea Handler
Chelsea Handler has endorsed medium James Van Praagh and his book, Unfinished Business: What The Dead Can Teach Us About Life.
Jayne Mansfield
Hollywood classic Jayne Mansfield was said to have become a practicing Satanist after meeting church-founder Anton LaVey in 1966.
David Bowie
According to Bowie: A Biography, musician David Bowie was “obsessed with using occult magic to attain success and protect himself from demonic forces.”
Vicki Gunvalson
Real Housewives of Orange County star Vicki Gunvalson relied on the magic of a medium to talk with her deceased mother.
Khloé Kardashian
Khloé Kardashian had medium Tyler Henry over to her home to do a reading for herself and her sisters. Miz Kardashian even relayed to Henry that she thinks she has psychic abilities!
Cameron Diaz
Cameron Diaz has been previously spotted leaving Mrs. Grace’s Psychic Tea Leaf Readings in West Hollywood, CA.
Megan Fox
Megan Fox claims to have some psychic abilities and even told Chelsea Handler once that her aborted fetus communicates to the blonde beauty via her dog Chunk. (Chunk has since passed away, RIP.)
Bjork
Bjork may not be directly involved with the occult, but she had a mother who was interested in metaphysics. In a 1995 interview, she shared:
“I think she took me to all the occult creatures of Iceland… I think I probably believe most of it, actually.”
Heidi Montag
Heidi Montag explored the world of the occult by briefly hiring psychic Aiden Chase to help guide her career. Chase lasted only a week!
Tori Spelling
Tori Spelling claims she had a psychic encounter with Farrah Fawcett during a sit down with a medium. WHOA!
And that’s a witchy wrap!
