More about Lewis Vandercar:
Lewis Vandercar was a locally known Florida artist, sculptor and reputed Magus (meaning magician - often called "Warlock"), and occult witchcraft figure in the Miami area for many years and in the Tampa - St. Petersburg area from 1973 until his death in 1988 at the age of 75. In 1973 Lewis moved to an area called Quail Hollow in the present day Wesley Chapel, but at the time was considered the town of Zephyrhills.
He lived in a geodesic dome house covered by ivy that he built himself on 14 gated acres of property and surrounded by tropical forest, his animals, sculptures and other works of art. He used this home and property as a studio and showroom. The grounds were used as a sculpture garden and display area. He spent the latter part of his life creating the most incredible pieces of art in Zephyrhills. He also held Friday night open houses where friends, artisans, metaphysicians, witches and the curious would come to visit from near and far.
