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: 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[…]
‘The Love Witch’ Official Trailer (Video)
Witchcraft is just a way of concentrating energy. You can only work with what’s already there. I just use sex magic to make love magic. No, that’s not a quote from one of my Monday Magick posts, it’s a line from writer/director Anna Biller’s new film ‘The Love Witch’. Set[…]
‘The Witch’ Official Trailer 2
The long-awaited fright flick ‘The Witch’ is finally going to arrive in theatres nationwide on February 19th! This new trailer for writer/director David Egger’s “New England Folktale” plays heavy on the suspense, dread, and madness. It also features more of that badass black fucking goat, revealing his name as “Black[…]
Monday Magick: Erykah Badu – Twinkle (Video)
This week’s Monday Magick entry is one of my favorite songs from an artist I have a bit of a love/hate relationship with. The tune in question is the futuristic Funk jam “Twinkle” by Neo-Soul high-pristess Erykah Badu from her 2008 LP ‘New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War’. As[…]
Monday Magick: The Mighty Shadow – King From Hell (Video)
This week’s Monday Magick entry is a rare contribution from the West Indies, a location not necessarily known for embracing the supernatural in its popular music. The tune in question is an energetic 1975 side with the incendiary title “King From Hell” which comes courtesy of Trinidadian calypsonian The Mighty[…]
Monday Magick: Strawberry Alarm Clock – Curse of the Witches (Video)
I fully intended to make today’s featured song the first post after our month-long celebration of Donovan’s “Season of the Witch” last week, but sadly I just wasn’t feeling up to it. Thankfully another week presents me with another Monday and I’m feeling in the mood to share some Monday[…]
Monday Magick: Suck – Season of the Witch (Video)
With the fourth and final Friday of October upon us we finally present the last entry in our month-long tribute to the Donovan composition “Season of the Witch”. This week’s entry, which comes courtesy of South African Metal pioneers Suck and their 1970 debut ‘Time to Suck’, may in fact[…]
Monday Magick: Sam Gopal – Season of the Witch (Video)
The penultimate entry in Monday Magick’s October-long tribute to Donovan’s “Season of the Witch” is here! This week we bring you a version of the classic tune cut by British Psychedelic outfit Sam Gopal for their 1969 LP ‘Escalator’. If you’ve never heard of Sam Gopal you can be forgiven,[…]
