Child of the Moon
Somehow I think this old Stones video relates to Busker Kim, who identified as a Wolf and was known to howl at the Moon.

Wolves, it turns out, don't really howl *at* the moon. Correlation is not causation. Wolves howl *with* the moon. They even howl during the day but since they're often out prowling at night, people get confused thinking a full moon triggers the howling. The full moon has been linked to schizophrenia-- mental hospital emergency rooms get busier, and cult activity tends to increase when the moon is full.
Kim Gordon aka Avis was probably schizophrenic in addition to thinking he was a wolf and therefore howled at the moon. Maybe he was also a Moon Child. That would align with his taking up residence in Inverness, which is just a quick drive from Loch Ness where Aleister Crowley had a house and practiced rituals including child abuse. Crowley wrote a whole esoteric manual on creating a Moon Child. Crowley died in 1947 but had followers including rock stars Jimmy Page and Keith Richards.
Kim aka Vince Avis began his career singing in a punk band called Cult of the Head in Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, England. No one seems to know where he came from originally or who his parents were, but it seems they were English, not Scottish. When I met him in Inverness in 1997 he had a generic Scots accent and sang me a little medley of Scottish folk songs. His ex-band mate calls it a "broad" Scottish accent that Kim acquired in Inverness. By "generic" I mean it lacked that deep growling authenticity found in real Scots that I met on that trip, and other trips to Scotland. Native Scots mix Gaelic expressions into their speech which often makes them incomprehensible. But Kim spoke clear English with a Scots accent, perfect for tourists like me.
Legend has it he arrived in Inverness sometime in the late 1980s, riding on a white horse. Check the white horse in the Child of the Moon video. The white horse can also refer to early Celtic mythology, or the chalk horses in Buckinghamshire, or the moon goddess Isis. It's suggestive of a cult he might have been born into. I am speculating of course.
The mystery surrounding Kim's childhood strikes me as odd,considering how famous he has become since I met him. You would think BBC journalist Myles Bonnar or his team would have tried to locate the parents - who might still be alive-- or other close relatives. They spoke to one of his teachers who remembered him as a "loner". By his late teens he was living alone in a ramshackle house outside town - unusual for unemployed kids his age.
Even as a busker in Inverness, he was said to have money stashed away that he used to buy property. Where did it come from? Was there a wealthy relative in the background in England?
Many details suggest Kim Gordon Avis aka Cameron MacGregor possessed a composite identity due to being born into a cult in 1965. He may even have been the product of a ritual involving Crowleyian sex Magick. Cult programming would explain his DID or "multiple personalities" -- and also his later success as a media darling raising money for charity in Inverness, performing stunts like swimming Loch Ness and climbing the Parliament buildings in Edinburgh to hoist the Scottish flag --
The fact that he looked like an exact clone of the young Mick Jagger, and that his chosen name Kim is MIK spelled backwards -- plus the white horse - the punk frontman gig -- the Crowley connection - the way I bumped into him after touring Culloden with a girl named "Cameron" -- my recovered memories of knowing Mick through Dr Ewen Cameron at McGill, off McGregor Avenue in Montreal-- and my flashback to getting engaged to him as Isis and Horus in a ceremony at age 5 --
All this makes me wonder if Kim Gordon was another Moon Child created by Tavistock to introduce more chaos magic to the world.
