Esoteric themes in pop music

I still wonder how many decades it will be before Nemo dropping the award stops being a joke that gets over-used by the presenters.

Yeah he broke the code and the trophy lol

I'm a bit surprised no one has mentioned Fleetwood Mac yet, though that may be a Free Space on the bingo card. A couple of their songs make references to magick.

The connection between witches and Fleetwood Mac were in snippets of adult conversation I caught as a child that sparked interest in both. There was also Jinx Dawson and One Tin Soldier which was fun to square for us kids that saw the Original Caste cartoon version and Billy Jack in the lead up to the satanic panic.

Pop music and the culture around it creates an atmosphere to draw out interests and match rhythms. Creates a space to grow and challenge dogma. Generational contexts when deeply profound.

A lot of pop music might not be overtime in esoteric theming but art is up to a lot of interpretation so I mean I could relate Madonna

Someone more deep in Madonna lore may be able to say when she got into Kabbalah, but the video for Bedtime Story is extraordinary. Still in rotation of Sex Magick playlists.

Which leads this post into mentioning Björk.
