A few weeks back I went to see Wes Anderson’s stop-motion animated film ‘Isle of Dogs’. I don’t particularly care for dogs, but I enjoyed the film. This isn’t too surprising since Anderson is one of my favorite modern filmmakers and has consistently amazed me throughout his career. Though it has[…]
I know. I know. I never update the fucking blog and it’s been ages since I did a Monday Magick post! I kinda doubt anybody is even reading any more so my excuses are probably going to fall on deaf ears, but my mental health has been erratic at best[…]
After my blockbuster return to the exercise of occult eisegesis of popular music throughout the month of October it was only a matter of time before I felt comfortable dropping a Monday Magick column about a song that I have a personal affinity for aesthetically but whose occult bona fides[…]
Returning to the routine of pumping out a new Monday Magick post every week over the last month has been rewarding. And I’m especially happy I was able to do it during the month of October. It took afew weeks of getting back into the swing of things, but as[…]
I love writing Monday Magick posts and have really missed putting them together these months I’ve been away. Admittedly it can sometimes be a challenge to pull a cogent occult analysis out of some of these often deceptively titled tunes, and I enjoy challenging myself. But I also get a[…]
In the years I’ve been publishing Monday Magick I’ve featured a lot of songs that contain very overt occult symbolism. I’ve featured a lot more that seem pretty innocent at first but upon deeper inspection can be interpreted using magickal thinking to have a deeper occult significance. And I’ve featured[…]
If you’re a longtime reader of this column you know very well how much we love our spooky-themed instrumental compositions here on Monday Magick. You probably also know that these instrumental tracks are often quite extremely lengthy. And while today’s entry, “Energy Fools the Magician” from avant-garde Pop musician, composer, and[…]
It’s been eight long months since Monday Magick graced this space with its wondrous presence. A combination of factors, including lack of time & energy, changes to my work schedule, big upheavals at home, and a fluctuation in passions, contributed to the hiatus. There have been moments along the way[…]
This week’s Monday Magick entry, like many before it, is inspired by events that are currently occurring in my life. Recently, lacking a magickal partner and feeling as if I’m not practicing my magick to its fullest potential, I was struck by the desire to convert part of my home[…]
With today’s post Monday Magick is officially back to semi-regularity! I am still feeling a little unsteady on my feet at this point. So despite last week’s rather hardcore vivisection of a seemingly innocuous entry I have every intention of taking it easy this week. I’m not gonna be going[…]
Yes it’s been months since I posted a new Monday Magick entry. Yes I’m sorry for going away for so long. But my private life has been a mess, and Donald Trump won the presidency, which taken together has sucked a lot of the magick out of my day to[…]
Since my life is an ever deepening pit of existential despair there will be no magick this Monday. Assuming I don’t succumb to suicidal ideation our magickal musical feature should return…eventually. In the meantime, go listen to Ab-Soul’s new album ‘Do What Thou Wilt’. He’s a Rap guy who actually[…]
