Witchcraft has never been dead ... just dormant. Its space-age awakening is demonstrated in the daily press. Besides the University of South Carolina teaching a Witchcraft course, it is also taught at the Centennial College, Toronto, Canada.
The Free University of Toronto is also giving a course on Magic and the Black Arts. By the time this is published Centennial will be giving an "Advanced Course In The Occult." Famous folk singer Donovan has written and recorded the song "Season Of The Witch". Bewitched has been a long running successful TV show.
The fantastic success of the Broadway musical Hair has been so in spite of its nude scene. It lists a staff Astrologer in its credits and has another Astrologer in its cast, actress Sally Eaton. The off- Broadway play Celebrations had a "Company Witch" in the person of actress Cindy Bulak.
Nine students of the University of Chicago dressed as witches, painted their faces chalk-white, with black- encircled eyes, danced and chanted a Black Magic Ritual while putting a hex on the University's disciplinary proceedings.

At the celebrated March on The Pentagon hippies performed an exorcism and witchcraft ritual, singing, dancing, chanting, in an attempt to lift The Pentagon, to exorcise its "evil spirit".
A militant women's organization is called W.I.T.C.H. In the October, 1968 Vogue Richard Goldstein wrote a fashion-oriented article called "Season Of The Witch" and said: "Fire and energy can liberate as well as destroy.
It is impossible to talk about even something as insular as beauty without noting that the same turmoil and insurrection that provides the terror of our time also inspires its greatest achievements.
The style of the sixties is creative anarchy. In all endeavours, it is characterized by a rebellion against form, a deflation of dogma, and an assertion of self against the Establishment."
The July 1969 Beyond Magazine had an article "Is Witchcraft Good Or Bad" by Wentworth Williams about Mich Micheyl, a French entertainer who was brought into court and threatened with imprisonment on the charge of "practicing medicine without a license" because she had cured a woman of persistent headaches.
She has "healing hands", is a "magnetic healer", and would be considered a "white witch." Another case was that of Mrs. Joyce Alan of Lancashire, England, who read cards without charging, read a policewoman, told her her husband was playing around with another woman.
