Johnny Thompson, a comedian and illusionist that performed under the name “The Great Tomsoni”, died (9 March) the day before the Wiccan priest Raven Grimassi‘s death (10 March). Grimassi’s death was on the same day Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed and American Gods made it’s season two debut. Check out my previous post for the American Gods/Ethiopian Airlines connections. I’ll have a couple of more numerical synchronicities with American Gods in this post. However the main focus will be around magicians, witches, warlocks, and the occult.
I find it very interest that a Wiccian priest and a legendary magician die on back to back days. Many of the “tricks” that magicians perform are truly amazing and you have to wonder if these are merely illusions or if they have tapped into some kind of supernatural force. Many of the old posters that magicians used to advertise their shows would include images of “devils”. In most of these posters the “devils” would appear to be in the act of whispering “secrets” into the ear of the magicians. Were they practicing magic or witchcraft?
