He examines musicians and musical groups such as Elvis Presley, the Beatles, and Led Zeppelin. ReceptionCritical reception for the book has been mostly positive.[3] NPR gave Season of the Witch a mostly favorable review, criticizing it for leaving out some examples of the occult in music but also remarked that this was one of the book's strengths, stating "that's where Bebergal's selectivity becomes as much of a strength as a weakness. Rather than attempting to throw as many examples at his audience as he can, he focuses on those that best illustrate his point: that the occult, like rock 'n' roll itself, can be illuminating as well as spellbinding."[4] The Washington Post was more critical in their review, writing "Occasionally, Bebergal rewards the dutiful reader with a zinger, as when he describes the Age of Aquarius as having “ended not with a whimper but with a stabbing at the Rolling Stones’ 1969 concert at the Altamont Speedway.” But he doesn’t drop nearly enough of those gems to make up for his annoying habits — his abuse of “groove” as a verb, for starters."[5] References1. ^{{Cite web|title = How Rock and Roll Found Satan -- And Why That Was a Good Thing|url = http://io9.com/how-rock-and-roll-found-satan-and-why-that-was-a-goo-1665437862|website = io9|accessdate = 2015-12-11|language = en-US}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Season of the Witch}}2. ^{{Cite web|title = Paper Trail: Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll|url = http://pitchfork.com/features/paper-trail/9533-season-of-the-witch-how-the-occult-saved-rock-and-roll/|website = Pitchfork|accessdate = 2015-12-11|language = en-US}} 3. ^{{Cite web|title = Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll (review)|url = http://www.undertheradarmag.com/reviews/season_of_the_witch_how_the_occult_saved_rock_and_roll/|website = Under the Radar|accessdate = 2015-12-11}} 4. ^{{Cite web|title = 'Season Of The Witch' Shines A (Black)Light On The Occult In Rock|url = https://www.npr.org/2014/10/23/356988948/season-of-the-witch-shines-a-black-light-on-the-occult-in-rock|website = NPR.org|accessdate = 2015-12-11|first = Jason|last = Heller}} 5. ^{{Cite news|title = Book review: ‘Season of the Witch: How the Occult Saved Rock and Roll|url = https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/style/book-review-season-of-the-witch-how-the-occult-saved-rock-and-roll/2014/10/22/92c3ff0a-5884-11e4-bd61-346aee66ba29_story.html|newspaper = The Washington Post|date = 2014-10-22|access-date = 2015-12-11|issn = 0190-8286|language = en-US|first = Chris|last = Klimek}} 5 : 2014 books|2014 non-fiction books|E-books|Occult|Rock and roll |
