Huebner, Louise

Huebner, Louise

(religion, spiritualism, and occult)

An astrologer and psychic in Los Angeles who, in 1968, persuaded Los Angeles County Supervisor Eugene Debs to name her "Official Witch of Los Angeles" in connection with a Folk Day to be held in the Hollywood Bowl. Unfortunately the proclamation did not specify that the title was just for the one day of the event, so Huebner made the most of her grand title and used it for the rest of her life. While she authored two books and produced a recording, the "witchcraft" she presented was of the Hollywood movie variety, featuring love charms and potions together with purported spells for good and bad.
