May 31st: Vincent Price

This coming Wednesday, at the recommendation of Sorcerix Helios, we will discuss our first-ever audio text: Vincent Price’s 1969 recording, “Witchcraft – Magic: An Adventure in Demonology.” Listen to it before you come to us, and formulate a few questions for the group to discuss!

Helios offered the following comments:

“Vincent Price’s Witchcraft – Magic: An Adventure In Demonology is a highly narrative audio grimoire released on vinyl in 1969. With just enough detail to help a fledgling witch get started, the long form lecture is interspersed with sound effects, dramatic readings from Shakespeare, and a plentiful helping of Price’s characteristic editorializing and dramatic charm. I swear by the gems that can be plucked from this performance; the details in this audio have served to bridge gaps in my research on the Sumerian Zisurru Magic Circle rite.”
