...come to think of it, it probably is remotely prog.



That's the spirit, just pick a witch!
One of my very favourites is Hopkins (The Witchfinder General) by the English doom metal band Cathedral.

I would like to add Shakti Yoni the good witch alias Gilli Smyth.
Her introduction song on Gong's "Flying Teapot" album is "Witch's Song /
I am your Pussy". Shakti (<span lang="sa-Deva">शक्ति in Sanskrit) </span>is
a Hindu Goddess. In Hinduism there are many Goddesses, but they are all
seen as different manifestations of Shakti. She also is the wife of
each member of the Trimurti (a trinity of Gods): Brahma (ब्रह्मा) the creator as Sarasvati (<span ="Deva" style="font-style:normal" lang="sa-Deva">सरस्वती)</span>, Vishnu (<span style="font-style:normal" lang="sa-Deva">विष्णु</span>) the preserver as Lakshmi (लक्ष्मी), and Shiva (<span lang="sa">शिव) the destroyer as Parvati (</span>पार्वती).
Yoni (योनि), by the way, is the representation of the female sexual
organ in Sanskrit; the male counterpart is Lingam (लिङ्गम).

The song is sung by Gilli Smyth alias Shakti Yoni and Daevid Allen alias Zero the Hero. Here are the lyrics:

Shakti Yoni:

"I am your pussy
You are my tramp
...

I'm a cat with a flat cap
Be careful or I might scratch you
Or turn into a witch
And fly away on my broomstick

I only want to know you
I only want to lick you...
Every bit of fish and chips that I can find to feed you
Give it to you...."


Zero the Hero:

|Cos I love you love you love you
...
I only want to know you
I only want to lick you
I only want to feed you
Every bit of fish and chips that I can find to feed you
Give it to you"

And here is the song:



The
word "pussy" in this song is obviously ambiguous; there are references
to both "cat" and "yoni" meanings in the song ("I only want to lick you". Yeah, lick a
cat). And what exactly does it mean that Zero the Hero offers "fish and
chips" to Shakti Yoni?

Häxan by Dungen is my fave and it's not on the list unfortunately.

Mark Fry's "The Witch" was the first one that came to my mind when I saw this topic. Forgot to respond at the time. Also Donovan's Season of the Witch and Gong's "Witch's Song / I am your Pussy". And Mandingo's "Witchdoctor" (since Mandingo III is one of my favourite albums).



Since I love so-called folk horror, there must be a lot of folk horror type music that would fit.

In response to some of the comments, several of the heavier tracks being mentioned were included in my poll on the same subject, which was called Hex Metallum and which was completely ignored.

That Witch in the first series of the Pogles terrified me as a child; ive recently bought the DVD of those early series (rescued from Oliver Postgate's archive) from www.dragons-friendly-society.co.uk
 Apart from the many mentioned already, the one which comes to mind is actually Psych/ Proto prog:

About ten years ago, some kind soul on a forum sent me a whole bunch of cd-r with Pogle's Wood and loads of other Postgate stuff. I also have a CD with lots of Vernon Eliot music for the various Postgate productions - Ivor the Engine was my favourite.

Magenta - Revolutions album had a piece that was referred to as 'The White Witch'. 

Donovan's The Season of The Witch was used as the theme for Season 2 of Britannia on Sky (in the UK). A truly bonkers TV show if ever there was one but great fun!

Across the evening sky,
all the birds are leaving,
But how can they know,
it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire,
I will still be dreaming,
I have no thought of time.
