Who's Weird?

Josh Radnor (Actor who plays Ted Mosby on CBS sitcom HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER) -- Ayahuasca, shamanism. See http://bit.ly/Kbvaeg, http://bit.ly/AereKS. Would he read TDG? Well, he's a confirmed fan of Reality Sandwich (see http://bit.ly/iffyRH).

Novelist Michael Chabon has written a lot about golems and comic books.

Jimmy Page (Led Zepplin) and Grant Morrison are very interested in Magic with the former very into Crowley and the latter more Austin Spare with sigil magick.

I am also told the Roman Polanski is by someone who used to hang out with him in the 70s. Given some of his films that is not too surprising, however I cannot find more evidence of that.

I think George Clooney also maintains a strong interest.

The musician Carl McCoy is a dedicated occultist, which he has discussed in various interviews over the years, and which can be seen in the lyrics to many of his songs.

The SF/Fantasy author Storm Constantine is another occultist, having written a couple of books on the subject as nonfiction.

Robbie Williams, (former?) singer.

Katy Perry, singer.

Olivia Newton John, former singer.

Riddley Scott, film director.

Steven Spielberg, film director.

J.J. Abrams, film director.

Michio Kaku, theoretical physicist and Science popularizer.

Mikhail Gorvachev, former USSR's head of state.

David Bowie, former musician and occasional film actor.

Mick Jagger, musician.

Sammy Hagar, former band member of Van Halen.

Muhammad Ali, former heavy-weight boxing champion of the world.

William Shatner, movie & TV actor.

Leonard Nimoy, movie & TV actor.

Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, governor of the Buddhist republic of Kalmykia in Russia and president of the World Chess Federation.

Christie Brinkley, former super model.

Sigourney Weaver, actress.

Paul Hellyer, the former minister of national defense in Canada.

Fife Symington, former Arizona governor.

[All these were gathered by Googling "famous people who believe in UFOs"]

David Lynch as well has come out with some rather good esoteric lectures.

There is also the late Barry Letts who was script editor for Doctor Who in the early 1970s. He is behind some of the more overtly occult Doctor Who stories such as "The Daemons" and the positively Typhonian "Planet of the Spiders"

Doug Moench, comic writer, who is mentioned by Jeffrey Kripal in both his books Authors of the Impossible, and Mutants & Mystics.

Also Joe Rogan, comedian who has often mentioned his experiences with DMT.

Greg,

Peter Sturrock, British scientist

One of my meatspace friends, degreed scientist from the former Soviet Union now living here, UFOs, Forteana, etc etc

Madonna

Kate Bornstein, Gender Outlaw

John Cleese (Actor/writer/comedian) - big supporter of the Esalen Center and Survival Research.

here are s'more

Eckhart Tolle

Oprah Winfrey, uplifter

Gabor Mate, non mainstream doctor who believes, radical that he is, that people (even drug addicts) should be treated with compassion and not as criminals. also nifty ideas on mind/body health

Colin Wilson, I don't think his cred needs to be written here? :3

Rand Flem-Ath, researcher & librarian promoting crustal displacement theory

Kary Mullis is a science guy whose Nobel laurels allow him to discuss a lot of weird crap ;)

Other outré scientists would be Frank Tipler, Paul Davies, Roger Penrose, and of course let's not forget our friend Ruppert Sheldrake :)

And I'm sure Deepak checks on TDG at least once a week ;)

Neil Gaiman? ;)

David Chalmers, consciousness philosopher

Jack Sarfatti, radical physicist, one of the hippies who 'saved physics'

Rudy Rucker, inventor of 'Cyberpunk', author, mathmetician, blogger, artist, "Hylozoist"

Nick Herbert, physicist, another of the hippies who saved physics, universe lover

Cliff Pickover, author of many many many books on many many many things, mathematician, computer dude

Clifford Stoll, astronomer, author, nuclear enthusiasm, klein-bottle blower

Douglas Hofstadter, polymath, thinker, author, complexity investigator, consciousness studies

Stanislaw Lem, author of Big Ideas

Stanislav Grof (Psychiatrist)- one of the founders of transpersonal psychology and consciousness researcher

Shirley McClaine (actress) is into the paranormal, and all kinds of cool, other-worldly things.

Gillian Anderson, actress. Apparently it is the other way around in real life, perhaps a bit ironically, while her collegue and former co-star Duchovny would be the one supporting the Randi Foundation.

Former members of Gong, Steve Hillage and Daevid allen perhaps? They made new agey-stuff already back in the early 70's. Maybe Nik Turner of Hawkwind-fame? In the late 70's he made an album with an egyptian theme. What was original was that the flute parts was actually recorded in the King's Chamber of big pyramid at Giza. Mike Oldfield is another musician who often seems to make albums tending to be a bit new agey too. His album Songs of the distant earth is based on a novel by Arthur C clarke. Maybe Neil Gaiman, but I'm merely guessing here. But his stuff often seem otherworldly.

In other words, the cool and interesting and creative people are into the weird stuff and boring tools are in the SkepAth stuff.
