New details regarding the secret and bizarre life of music legend Elvis Presley are circulating, leaving the late King of Rock and Roll’s fans in a state of shock. Thanks to the latest book, The Occult Elvis: The Mystical and Magical Life of the King, author Miguel Conner shares a deep dive into Presley’s strange obsession with the occult, mysticism, and magic.
Elvis Presley wasn’t just the King of Rock and Roll, he was a deeply interesting and complex man. Before his death on August 16, 1977, Elvis spent most of his time studying everything he could reportedly get his hands on regarding esotericism.
Esotericism broadly refers to the study of esoteric or hidden knowledge, often involving symbolic interpretations and mystical experiences. Per Wikipedia, Esotericism can encompass a wide range of topics, including magic, astrology, and various spiritual traditions, including the occult.
It is no secret to longtime Elvis Presley fans that the singer was fascinated by the subject. However, it went a lot deeper than many may have realized. Miguel Conner’s book hit bookstores on April 8th and has left readers torn by the latest Elvis reveals.
According to the Daily Mail reports Conner’s book reveals a deeper and darker side of the King. Conner writes that at the time of Elvis’ death, Presley had developed many personal beliefs about himself. Beliefs he shared with only a few of his closest family and friends.
Elvis Presley believed he was a force to be reckoned with when it came to his music career. However, he also believed he was something a little more out of this world. According to his friend Wanda June Hill, Elvis once shared a wild confession about himself. He reportedly told Hill he wasn’t from Earth. Instead, he claimed to be from Jupiter’s ninth moon.

Elvis reportedly began his spiritual journey in 1964 when his hairdresser, Larry Geller, introduced Presley to alternative spiritual teachings, including the idea of healing through meditation. This close relationship reportedly caused many problems within Elvis’ relationships with Priscilla Presley and manager Colonel Tom Parker.
Elvis Presley wasn’t shy about sharing his knowledge and his otherworldly experiences with his inner circle. The Jailhouse Rock hitmaker often stunned his friends with claims alleging he had seen UFOs multiple times.
Presley also believed he had the power to heal people. Friends and family members, including Priscilla and his girlfriend Ginger Alden, reportedly claim that he had cured them of ailments using nothing but his hands and his focus on divine energy.
Until his death, Elvis Presley’s life was a whirlwind of superstition and spirituality. His strong belief in telekinetic, psychic, and astral traveling abilities made him much more than just a music icon. Elvis was deep into the mystical, magical, and maybe even extraterrestrial. Presley truly thought he was more than just a man.
“The man was no saint & he never implied that he was. He brought joy & happiness to many when he lived. His testament is his music that still lives on to this day,” one fan comments.
“They all sell their souls to get to the top,” adds another.
“Be very careful of what you say, this is Elvis we’re talking about,” defends a longtime Presley fan.
Elvis believed he was chosen, not just to be famous, but to spread spiritual truths. He told friends that God put him on Earth with a mission: to open people’s minds to the supernatural. Let’s be honest, when you’re a megastar with an entourage, adoring fans, and people calling you “The King,” it’s not hard to start believing you’re chosen.
