The Serpent and the Dove: Magik in the Age of Aquarius

When comet Kohoutek arrived in 1974, it left a trail of curiosities in its wake. In five episodes, What Comet Kohoutek Left Behind tells stories of the music, new age mythology and counterculture named after the comet. Featuring interviews with former cult members, musicians, collectors, hippies and occultists, the series explores tales of afrofuturism, doomsday prophecies, an anti-fascist robot band, and psychedelic warlocks.
