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[…]

Monday Magick: Echo & the Bunnymen – The Killing Moon (Video)
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[…]
Monday Magick: Armand Van Helden – Hear My Name feat. Spalding Rockwell (Video)
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[…]
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? Well, this week we’re featuring “Dunwich”, a decidedly sludgy bit of Lovecraftian Rock by British Stoner/Doom Metal quartet Electric Wizard from their 2007 LP ‘Witchcult Today’! Longtime readers[…]
Monday Magick: The Pretenders – Brass in Pocket (I’m Special) (Video)
This week’s Monday Magick is gonna be one of my patented re-interpretations of a seemingly innocuous and unmagickal song utilizing magickal thinking. The song in question is Alt-Pop chestnut “Brass in Pocket (I’m Special)” by British Rock outfit The Pretenders featuring Ohio-born songwriter, vocalist, and guitarist Chrissie Hynde. Released in[…]
Monday Magick: Pesky Gee! – Season of the Witch (Video)
This week we round out what could potentially be our last October’s worth of “Season of the Witch” covers here on Monday Magick with a rare take featuring a female vocal! Said vocal comes courtesy of Kay Garrett, and it graces a Bluesy, eight-plus-minute version of the cut by[…]
Monday Magick: Teegarden & Van Winkle – Season of the Witch (Video)
When I instituted the annual month-long celebration of “Season of Witch” here on Monday Magick a few years back it was intended to unearth radical re-imaginings of the Donovan tune. Covers that turn the classic on its head, or bring something new and different to the composition. And while some of the covers[…]
Monday Magick: The Masked Marauders – Season of the Witch (Video)
Another Monday in October means another Monday Magick and another cover of Donovan’s psuedo-occult Psych-Folk chestnut “Season of the Witch” by another largely forgotten band. This week the honor falls to an outstanding take recorded by ’60s “supergroup” The Masked Marauders for their self-titled Warner Brothers Records debut. I put[…]
Monday Magick: Thackeray Rocke – Season of the Witch (Video)
If you’ve been reading Monday Magick for a while you know that every October, in honor of Halloween, I dedicate a month’s worth of posts to various cover versions of British Psych-Folk grandmaster Donovan’s classic composition “Season of the Witch”. The song has been covered quite a few times, in[…]
Monday Magick: Lee “Scratch” Perry & The Full Experience – Disco Devil (Video)
I was almost positive that I’d posted “Disco Devil”, Dub originator Lee “Scratch” Perry’s 1979 rework of the Max Romeo Reggae classic “I Chase the Devil”, as part of Monday Magick a long time ago. But as of this morning it’s not anywhere to be found on this website. I[…]
Monday Magick: Grover Washington, Jr. – Mister Magic
This week sucks and I really could give a fuck about anything right now. So no in-depth exegesis of deep occult secrets will be had in this week’s Monday Magick. No, instead you’re getting the laid back vamping of saxophonist Grover Washington, Jr. on the Bob James-produced Jazz-Fusion classic “Mister[…]
Monday Magick: The Green Man – Liber AL (Video)
The word of The Law is Thelema. Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of The Law. So say the lyrics of this week’s Monday Magick submission “Liber AL” by Italian Thelemic Neofolk act The Green Man from their 2009 debut LP ‘From Irem to Summerisle’. The lyrics, of[…]
