It shouldn’t come as a surprise to regular readers of this website to see me admit that my infrequently updated Monday Magick columns are often a laboratory for my own personal brand of high weirdness in one way or another.

Monday Magick: Yoko Ono – Yes I’m a Witch (Video)
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[…]
Monday Magick: Electric Wizard – Dunwich (Video)
After taking last week off Monday Magick is back and it’s darker, harder, and heavier than ever! How so, you may ask?

Monday Magick: Slapp Happy – Casablanca Moon (Video)
This week’s Monday Magick entry is a little more cool and mysterious than the normal fare that appears in this space. A rare feat for a feature designed to showcase esotericism in popular music, I know. But this week’s song, a smooth bit of proto-Sophistipop titled “Casablanca Moon” by German[…]
Monday Magick: David Bowie – Station to Station (Video)
This week’s Monday Magick entry is “Station to Station” by Glam-Rocker David Bowie. It comes from the androgynous, multiple identity-flipping stars 1976 LP of the same name. The album was recorded during a tumultuous time, when Bowie was both obsessing over the occult and addicted to drugs. “Here are we,[…]
