You might find something by digging around Robert
DeGrimston and the Process Church of the Final
Judgement -- linked to Charles Manson (who
definitely used LSD in para-magical rituals) and
Scientology (as well as, peculiarly, America's
largest no-kill animal sanctuary).
DeGrimston's a British ex-pat who first set up
shop at Balfour Place (yay, Balfour!) before
moving over to San Francisco. The Rolling Stones
supposedly attended a few Process meetings.

Is it magic? I dunno. But it'll probably lead
somewhere....
