I’m so incredibly thrilled to present the latest episode of the Magic Vibes Only Podcast, Häxan Reimagined. It premiered last night for Samhain on my YouTube channel—if you want to watch these episodes as soon as they’re uploaded, feel free to subscribe to my channel! I will always follow up the next day by posting the latest video here on the blog. (Much like what Hulu does with American Horror Story lol). I wasn’t sure in my last blog post if I could make it by Halloween, but I did, and it was amazing to watch it late at night in a totally dark living room with a cup of hot tea.
Watch the Episode 🖤
Häxan, also known as Häxan: Witchcraft Through the Ages, is disturbing, shocking, gorgeous, and profoundly ahead of its time. It’s a scathing social commentary with a devilish wink. To celebrate Samhain, I bring you this 1922 masterpiece by Benjamin Christensen, reawakened and reimagined with a modern classical music tapestry that ranges from atmospheric, to whimsical to disturbing—just like the film itself.
The music has been carefully curated and (witch)crafted together by Jaye into a royalty-free soundtrack fit for anyone who loves dark cinema, witches, historical essays, and beautiful, dark music. Bonus points that this film was so controversial, it was banned in many countries when released. It has a powerful message that the patriarchy-at-large obviously did not want the movie-going public to be exposed to.
Enjoy this cinematic masterpiece in a whole new way with music and magic. Perfect for studying, writing, art productivity sprints, spellcasting, tarot, and watching late at night as an immersive experience into creepy atmospherics and music.
