Legendary voodoo man & techno swamp blues artist, Doktor Snake, goes to Glastonbury, visiting Glastonbury Tor and Glastonbury Abbey. (Music track – all guitars, synths, drum boxes, sampling, keyboards by Doktor Snake).

Doktor Snake says:

“Ancient presences still surround us… Glastonbury is a powerful place that awakens the visionary…the William Blake… in you…there’s little doubt that the Sidhe themselves really do sleep below the Tor, as does Merlin, King Arthur and his knights…”

Writing in the late 1960s, the great UK historian Geoffrey Ashe said:

“Britain will begin to be when Glastonbury is. The giant Albion will begin to awake when his sons and daughters gather inside the enchanted boundary, and summon him with the right words, the right actions, a different life.”

And the poet and artist William Blake (1757-1827) said:

“If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro’ narrow chinks of his cavern.”

It isn’t just musicians that have allegedly made pacts with the Devil. Robin Maugham (1916-1981) was convinced his uncle William Somerset Maugham (1874-1965) – the popular author – had made a Faustian bargain in exchange for fame.

In Maugham (1980) by Ted Morgan, Robin relates a curious incident that took place during his uncle’s last years. William Somerset Maugham looked towards the door of his room and started trembling violently.

“Who’s that coming into the room?” he asked, his face contorted with fear. He then began to shriek, “Go away! I’m not ready. I’m not dead yet I tell you!”

Robin look around the room, but it was empty.

Shortly before his death, William Somerset Maugham asked Robin Maugham, “You don’t believe one can lose one’s soul so completely in this life that there is nothing left, do you?”

Robin dutifully assured him this was not possible.

Whether his uncle really sold his soul is open to debate. What is certain is William Somerset Maugham achieved a great deal of fame, entertaining many illustrious names at his Villa Mauresque on the French Riviera, including Noel Coward, Winston Churchill and the Duke of Windsor – not to mention lunching with the Queen.

Later the prince discovered that his companion had been the devil in human form…

This legend echoes the old Deep South voodoo practice of selling your soul to the devil for fame and guitar expertise. You go to a deserted crossroads and play your guitar, waiting for the devil to come. Eventually you will hear a guitar harmonizing with yours in the distance. You exchange guitars with the devil…and play through the night…

VOODOO DOCTORS
Voodoo doctors get the job done
Do their work in the graveyard
Talk to the dead and the spirits
Get things done, get things done,
Love, sex, gambling, money….

Voodoo spells to bring your lover back,
To return your ex and make things good.
Voodoo spells to bring you sex,
A hot, crazy lover that spins you around and around.

Voodoo spells to bring you money and cash,
Attract wealth and fame too…
Cast the magnet, light the fuse,
Turn your life around…

Voodoo spells to win the lottery,
And pull a big wedge in the casino.

Voodoo doctors get the job done.

Voodoo Spells to remove a curse or hex,
To turn your life around and bring happiness.
Voodoo spells to take somebody down,
Hex ‘em, curse, ‘em, turn up the devil heat.

Voodoo doctors do their spells in the graveyard,
Call down the mighty spirits and cast powerful spells.
Voodoo doctors know how to put things right,
Voodoo doctors have a secret power,
Born of the gator, born of the swamp.
