I have been following a thread on a facebook group (Folk Horror Revival) where the poster asked for songs about witches, witchcraft or witch trials.

Three I came up with were

Circus 2000 - I am the witch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13AYlSksJdY&

Mark Fry - The Witch
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQi6_ZSU4SI&

Mandy Morton and Spriguns - Witchfinder
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZW7-b7TiNw&


What else?

I can give you hundreds of songs abart witches.
But no idea wot the best few are.
.....................
You might not believe me, but, can you guess a subject that was prominent in 70s psych,prog,proto & folk besides War and Death?
You'd be surprized.

Madness? Doom? Struggling hard to come up with something that was common on the upside. Even most of the love songs are on the down side.

Madness is a good guess but...no.

It is gypsies.

Hundreds that are psychedelic/progressive?
Those would be the ones I am after. :-)

Always been a bit interested in music that has at least a toe in the occult, like the albums of Wilburn Burchette.
