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. Weird music. Weird musicians. Weird musings on unquestionably weird subject matter.[…]

Monday Magick: The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band – I Won’t Hurt You (Video)
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[…]
Monday Magick: Dent May – Take Me to Heaven (Video)
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[…]
Monday Magic: Arto Lindsay – Illuminated (Video)
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[…]
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: The Moving Sidewalks – Crimson Witch (Video)
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[…]
Monday Magick: Brian Eno – Energy Fools the Magician (Video)
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[…]
Monday Magick: the bird and the bee – Witch (Video)
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[…]
Monday Magick: Gil Evans – Priestess (Video)
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[…]
