Dear Friends of the Actual Natural World,
Well thank the skies. It is raining in #London Town. I have my trusty flask of black tea and a touch of blackcurrant to sweeten the tannin.
Or I could have porridge and enter the virtual world... Oops. Chose the virtual #Nature route. For now.
Well it is #Sunday. It will be sunny in a couple of hours. I can wait.
However by #Sunny time (10 AM onward) there might be phone zombies and other weirdos strolling about. And I am #Wyrd enough without added footfall.
I have a cunning plan.
Use my #Siddhi to summon the birds and other #Critters to clear the streets as much as possible. For that I need my virtual #Coven.
Prayers, blessing, good thoughts and #Magick to the usual place. Usual triple or more returns.

Some of us in #TheCosmicCollective ( @captaincourageous ) are in a coven that mixes Christianity and Witchcraft.
This article I just came across from @naturesauracrystals is a great article about how witchcraft and protest can go hand in hand, and should, with what's happening in the world currently. Use your practice to protest, and create change for others, as well as yourself. #witch #christianwitch #coven #witchcraft #WitchcraftTips #witchcraftpractice #protest #resistfascism

Fun Fact: Coven-and especially their front woman Jinx Dawson- is credited as being the first band to do the “horns”
#RetroView #Coven #JinxDawson #metal -
Time for things to get witchy with “Wicken Woman” (https://tinyurl.com/3yutyadt) by Chicago’s early occult metal band Coven. It’s from their controversial first album “Witchcraft Destroys Minds & Reaps Souls” (https://tinyurl.com/5hdhbamb), which was pulled from distribution due to the album’s occult themes in the light of The Manson Family media storm.

Once, Witchcraft were a prominent figure in the analog rock/metal scene, mentioned alongside acts like Orchid, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, and The Sword. They treated us to some right bangers like 2005’s Firewood and 2012’s Legend, and I was eagerly anticipating whatever might come after 2016’s Nucleus. What eventually followed was the acoustic and intensely somber Black Metal, which struck me as less of a Witchcraft album and more as a hyper-personal form of artistic expression by multi-instrumentalist frontman Magnus Pelander, something meant for him and him alone. It’s an honest and compelling artistic work, but it can be difficult to recall amidst the context of Witchcraft’s proggy occult doom/rock discography. Now, with two fresh band members, Witchcraft have reincorporated the lo-fi buzz n’ fuzz of their analog roots in 2025’s Idag.
When I first snagged Idag, I was struck by Witchcraft’s label change from Nuclear Blast to Heavy Psych Sounds, but it becomes immediately apparent as to why upon first listen. Idag is notably fuzzier than Witchcraft’s previous work, leaning heavily into the stoner-doom sound. In some cases, this manifests as Pentagram-adjacent chugging doom in the beefy riffs of “Burning Cross” or the slowly building grooves of “Idag.” The Coven-meets-Sergeant Thunderhoof nature of proto-Witchcraft is still present in the faster grooves of “Drömmar Av Is” and “Drömmen Om Död Och Förruttnelse,” though they haven’t escaped a healthy coat of fuzz. Some moody Black Metal acoustics return as well, given a refreshing shot of vigor without sacrificing atmosphere like in “Christmas.” Idag is all around well-produced and well-performed; it’s easy to buy into Idag, whether you’re a newcomer or returning fan.
Then again, it’s never been hard to buy into Witchcraft, because Witchcraft have long since established a pattern of writing rock solid music, and that’s exactly what Idag is: rock solid. The best songs in Idag will often find a strong core groove and then let it carry the bulk of the weight. “Drömmar Av Is” is a punctual tune that lands on a critically funky groove right out of the gates and hammers it home with minimal distraction. This song contrasts well with the more varied tunes like the eight-minute opener, “Idag,” which follows a similar philosophy of sticking to strong core ideas, all of which are given appropriate time to germinate with a delightful tempo increase in the latter half to keep the song from stagnating. Idag’s riffs might not always be the most audacious or inventive riffs ever made, but they’re effective and catchy. Then again, Idag is undeniably elevated by Pelander’s killer pipes. He’s the sort of singer you could recognize in anything, and his rich voice adds a lot of character to the music. Unintentional or not, I enjoy the detail of his voice sounding oh-so-slightly off-key with some of the guitars in “Om Du Vill.” It’s a nice touch of authenticity and reintroduces some of the vulnerability from Black Metal.
That authenticity also strikes at the chord of what makes Idag work for me; to my ears, from a songwriting standpoint, Idag is the sort of thing one might hear blasting from a garage, whereupon you’d find a couple of lads bangin’ on their instruments in ways that Just Sound Neat. That unrefined quality, that coarseness, is something I cherish, and Idag scratches that itch. The lead guitars across Idag howl with warbling feedback, and I love the unrestrained summer fun of the drum and guitar fills in “Irreligious Flamboyant Flame.” It is a bit of a double-edged sword, though. I appreciate the grime, but I also recognize that Idag lacks the consistency and focus to truly hook me like Legend did. It’s not like Witchcraft are suddenly a “jam band” on Idag, but it’s giving the moniker some funny looks. There are just enough frustrating oddball choices to be noticeable. As a comparatively longer song and practical closer, “Spirit” lacks the escalation that made “Idag” work, and the chorus in “Irreligious Flamboyant Flame” is a bit limp. Furthermore, both “Gläntan (Längtan)” and the actual closer “Om Du Vill (Slight Return)” feel out of place and borderline pointless.
I was lukewarm on my first spin of Idag, but it has grown on me. It might not be the most essential Witchcraft record, but it is nevertheless worth the time of any Witchcraft fan or purveyor of fuzzy stoner jams. But no matter how I felt about Idag, it wouldn’t have been a more potent feeling than my relief that Witchcraft is still making music. I will always look forward to their next release.

That unrefined quality, that coarseness, is something I cherish, and Idag scratches that itch. The lead guitars across Idag howl with warbling feedback, and I love the unrestrained summer fun of the drum and guitar fills in “Irreligious Flamboyant Flame.” It is a bit of a double-edged sword, though. I appreciate the grime, but I also recognize that Idag lacks the consistency and focus to truly hook me like Legend did. It’s not like Witchcraft are suddenly a “jam band” on Idag, but it’s giving the moniker some funny looks. There are just enough frustrating oddball choices to be noticeable. As a comparatively longer song and practical closer, “Spirit” lacks the escalation that made “Idag” work, and the chorus in “Irreligious Flamboyant Flame” is a bit limp. Furthermore, both “Gläntan (Längtan)” and the actual closer “Om Du Vill (Slight Return)” feel out of place and borderline pointless.
I was lukewarm on my first spin of Idag, but it has grown on me. It might not be the most essential Witchcraft record, but it is nevertheless worth the time of any Witchcraft fan or purveyor of fuzzy stoner jams. But no matter how I felt about Idag, it wouldn’t have been a more potent feeling than my relief that Witchcraft is still making music. I will always look forward to their next release.

By Mystikus Hugebeard
Once, Witchcraft were a prominent figure in the analog rock/metal scene, mentioned alongside acts like Orchid, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats, and The Sword. They treated us to some right bangers like 2005’s Firewood and 2012’s Legend, and I was eagerly anticipating whatever might come after 2016’s Nucleus. What eventually followed was the acoustic and intensely somber Black Metal, which struck me as less of a Witchcraft album and more as a hyper-personal form of artistic expression by multi-instrumentalist frontman Magnus Pelander, something meant for him and him alone. It’s an honest and compelling artistic work, but it can be difficult to recall amidst the context of Witchcraft’s proggy occult doom/rock discography. Now, with two fresh band members, Witchcraft have reincorporated the lo-fi buzz n’ fuzz of their analog roots in 2025’s Idag.
When I first snagged Idag, I was struck by Witchcraft’s label change from Nuclear Blast to Heavy Psych Sounds, but it becomes immediately apparent as to why upon first listen. Idag is notably fuzzier than Witchcraft’s previous work, leaning heavily into the stoner-doom sound. In some cases, this manifests as Pentagram-adjacent chugging doom in the beefy riffs of “Burning Cross” or the slowly building grooves of “Idag.” The Coven-meets-Sergeant Thunderhoof nature of proto-Witchcraft is still present in the faster grooves of “Drömmar Av Is” and “Drömmen Om Död Och Förruttnelse,” though they haven’t escaped a healthy coat of fuzz. Some moody Black Metal acoustics return as well, given a refreshing shot of vigor without sacrificing atmosphere like in “Christmas.” Idag is all around well-produced and well-performed; it’s easy to buy into Idag, whether you’re a newcomer or returning fan.
Then again, it’s never been hard to buy into Witchcraft, because Witchcraft have long since established a pattern of writing rock solid music, and that’s exactly what Idag is: rock solid. The best songs in Idag will often find a strong core groove and then let it carry the bulk of the weight. “Drömmar Av Is” is a punctual tune that lands on a critically funky groove right out of the gates and hammers it home with minimal distraction. This song contrasts well with the more varied tunes like the eight-minute opener, “Idag,” which follows a similar philosophy of sticking to strong core ideas, all of which are given appropriate time to germinate with a delightful tempo increase in the latter half to keep the song from stagnating. Idag’s riffs might not always be the most audacious or inventive riffs ever made, but they’re effective and catchy. Then again, Idag is undeniably elevated by Pelander’s killer pipes. He’s the sort of singer you could recognize in anything, and his rich voice adds a lot of character to the music. Unintentional or not, I enjoy the detail of his voice sounding oh-so-slightly off-key with some of the guitars in “Om Du Vill.” It’s a nice touch of authenticity and reintroduces some of the vulnerability from Black Metal.
