Anything by Stevie Nicks.

Came here to write this

This also was my first thought lol

Witchy woman from the Eagles is a good one

First song that came to my mind. Actually, the ONLY song that came to my mind LoL 🤣😆

I like Black Magic Woman

Spiral dance - Woman of the earth Lisa Theil - Beltane Faun - All of their songs are good Crane wives - The garden Ghost mice - Witches and warlocks S. J. Tucker - Witches rune Blood ceremony - Astral sabbat The secret sisters - Water witch Lucidian - Wiccan song Kellianna - Witches reel Heather Alexander - Healing chant The moon and the nightspirit - Pagan Dahm the bard - The cauldron born Gaia consort - Beltane fires Donovan - Season of the witch Leslie fish - Avalon is risen Emerald rose - Freya, Shakti Lothlorien - The cruel mother Erutan - Round and round Eluveitie - Hope Charming disaster - Blacksnake Many of these artists have multiple good songs, I just didn't feel like writing that much lol. If your looking for more acid rock or more modern songs you can try blood ceremony, jess and the ancient ones, Crane wives, witchcraft, psychedelic witchcraft (the last two are band names not genres)

Damh the Bard

Thank you for sharing I loved the songs

Eyes on Fire by Blue Foundation

Check out Paris Paloma!

Strongly second this!

Rhiannon and season of the witch are the first that come to mind

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Kiki Rockwell! She's a pagan and includes a lot of drumming in her songs. Id recommend Same Old Energy Burn Your Village Arrow to the Knee Also: Litha by Nadiiife Blyth by Faery

Everything Kiki does is excellent.

Savage Daughter

Inkubus sukkubus is a Pagan band. The Hades video game soundtrack I use a lot as background noise for witchy stuff. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3AGYhOS1Ymw5UL24qsAJSL?si=o_ewvg60QQeiwTDywwS8GA This is a link to my Pagan playlist. It's a mix of vocals and instrumental.

W.I.T.C.H. by Devon Cole

👏 Woman👏 In👏 Total👏 Control👏 Of👏 Herself👏

Right on 😁💯🩷

This needs to be much higher

I might be showing my age here, but all of the witches I know listen to Dead Can Dance.

Been introduced to them by my father when I was a kid, Summoning of the Muse is one of the most hauntingly beautiful things I've heard in my life

Thank you for this suggestion x

Rhiannon, the chain by fleetwood Mac. Be my baby is very powerful song I use for love magic, third eye by Florence. running with the wolves by aurora.

Thank you all for your reccomendations. I'm busy with listening to all the songs now. 🤗

Cocteau Twins first two albums, all Anna Von Hausswolf

Cocteau Twins forever

It depends on what you find witchy. It could be generic celtic music, or The Craft score soundtrack, or Loreena Mckennith (mystical) or Blackmore's Night (folk). It's quite personal I guess

For witchy rock n roll, I like The Kills & The Dead Weather.

Allison Mosshart was my stage presence inspiration for many years

Everything she does is so distinctively hers. She's just amazing.

If you have Spotify look for Playlists with the word witch in them, there are a lot of good compilations out there.

Anything by Peter Gundry

Yes, his work is so atmospheric and sensual

witch’s wrath by the bridge city sinners

The craft soundtrack.

Tori Amos has a lot of witchy songs.

Wuthering heights by Kate Bush

I love Brujas by Princess Nokia

Heilung for heathen/norse inspired . Shereen , omnia s.j tucker has a song called witches rune .

Omnia and heilung seconded Edit for spelling overcorrection

Heilung makes some pretty awesome pagan-esk tribal music and really gets me in the meditation zone! Warning though, there's some throat singing in it if that can be a bit off putting at first!

Thank you!!! ❣️I'm gonna go check them out just based on your recommendation!!! 😉💕 Is there any particular Song that I should listen to???

Norupo!!!

I'll check it out

Norupo is great but [this](https://youtu.be/QRg_8NNPTD8?si=PC1VEM57vMZESxV4) was the song I was introduced to

Helluva awesome Song...I'll definitely listen to it when I'm doing my Spells!!! Thank you!!! ☮️🩷✨

You're welcome!!!

Literally any song ever by Enya. 😂

Damh the bard any song by him

I've got a set of some Old Keys: "Gwydion Pendderwen" and his "Songs for The Old Religion" And for the more modern neopagan, almost Anything by "Eluvietie" they have hymns to Epona, Ogmios, Lugos, among others; in reconstructed Gaulish. And I'm surprised no one has mentioned "Loreena McKennit" Or "Blackmoors Night" yet?

Burn Your Village by Kiki Rockwell!

Savage daughter

Ligea-witching hour

dune moss is pretty witchy to me.

Dance with fire by Karliene

I listen to Appalachian folk music and in Spanish Luna Santa

Halloweenie V: The Moss King by Ashnikko

Honestly Melanie Martinez’s Full Portals Album. My fav is Faerie Soirée

witches by alice phoebe lou

Any song by Banshee 🖤

Omg a fellow Banshee listener, hi! ❤

HIEEEEEE XD

Rhianna by Stevie n8cks

I like to use any song that evokes the energy I'm trying to work with, doesn't need to fit the witchy aesthetic necessarilly. But a few I feel drawn to and give a subtly 'witchy' vibe include: Diamond- Chinchilla Manipulate- Mxze, Clarei Need- Kazukii When the Sun Loves the Moon- Reinaeiry prayer1- april27 Lightning Crashes- Live Bite- Troye Sivan Bloody Mary- Lady Gaga Me and the Devil- Soap&Skin Pheonix- Vylana, Laura Escude Soarele si Luna- Pasha Parfeni Posession of a Weapon- Ashnikko

In This Moment is a great band! Female lead heavy metal band. Their most recent albums have a "witchy" vibe to them ("Ritual" and "Mother"). But I highly recommend their entire discography. They're one of my favorites.

Maria Brink's voice is divine. Mother and Joan of Arc are my personal favourites

YES! I love those songs. My absolute favorite is still Prayers.

Honestly, most Beyoncé, Tina Turner, and Aretha Franklin songs are "witchy." Tthey have a particular cadence which allows you to entrance and speak into fruition.

Spellbound by Siouxsie and the Banshees

A lot of Florence + the machine have witchy feels. They even have a song which witch. Mermaids is also very witchy, tbh, their albums dance fever, and ceremonials all have witchy feels. Daffodil from dance fever really sets my witch nerves tingling. Stevie Nicks is a classic too. Literally anything by Stevie!

Witches be Bitches by starbenders really does good by me.

Thanks!!! ❣️ I'm going to go check them out!!! 🙂 💯Are there any other Songs that they sing???

Not specifically off the top of my head. But they are witchy in general. Very hex girls

Thank you. Helluva awesome Band!!! Love it even more that they're all girls!!! 😊🩷

Check out Brave New World by Kalandra or City of the Dead by Eurielle. In the Kitchen by Mree is also a good one, but a much different vibe than the other two.

https://youtu.be/bl53QRq2kTM?si=ekiXp8eAg25xkjlz I my prep music m

Saint Mesa Edit: all of his music has that primal magickal energy in my opinion… but some of my personal faves are Wolf, Empire, Fire, Sunlit Grave, & Martyr (with vocals by Roniit, check out her song I Choose Me, pretty witchy as well)

Cult of Dionysus by The Orion Experience Hurricane by Cannons Wights by Osi & the Jupiter ANYTHING by Peter Gundry, pick your vibe Amanti, I like the songs Pythia & Invicta the most & the band Alcest, a French band, beyond gorgeous music.

My favorite is Ha Howa Ha Howa by SEXWITCH. It sounds like a rabid incantation or a primal, sacrificial dance.

Anything by The Crane Wives! The Moon Will Sing, Curses and Ribs are particularly good ones.

Built a witchy playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1ygfpboyKmUig0MdPEX3kM?si=KK1z53scQu27kvnlKOVVeg

Any dungeonsynth song is witchy

S.J. Tucker, Heather Dale, Three Weird Sisters, Julia Ekhart, Faun, Omnia, Leslie Fish. All great pagan folk artists.

A lot of stuff by All About Eve or Souxsie and the Banshees

Came here to say Souxsie!  Three that come to mind: Cities in Dust, Spellbound, and Dear Prudence

https://youtu.be/BjUV-byB8ls?si=GAaVPvQDRKAPOfKX Witchiest song I know. (I mean, it’s not strictly a witchy song, the name translates to “shake your bacon” but I always associate it with Walpurgis so to me it is witchy).

I love that I knew exactly what video this would be. But I had no idea what the name translated to and I’m absolutely laughing in delight.

I just imagine a whole bunch of witches shakin’ their bacon around a cauldron and I love it. Here’s a version with the English translation of lyrics if you like https://youtu.be/DVJBnmVbH5E?si=jjEaQ9_NvIzJFJh-

Heilung https://youtu.be/SVbc_Fwbt50?si=AgA-SwD-z0a-TWJC

Anything by Heilung

Goettia by Peter Gundry (really anything by him) makes me feel like I can summon the devil 🤣

Any of Purity Rings songs Venus in Furs by The Velvet Underground but i'm partial to the cover by Angie myself Moira by SUN EATER goes so incredibly hard if you like hardcore/metal Vultures by Ethel Cain The entire Mildred album by Grim Salvo Incitatus by BirdEatsBaby The Fine Art of Poisoning by Jill Tracy The Astronomer by Vermillion Lies Dark Town Sally by Amoree Lovell St. Blessed by Blessed Le Strange 1233 by HXXXD Night after Night by Laura Marling

Wow, the songs I consider witchy are really different than the ones in this list! 🤯 Black Magic - Little Mix What You Need (Sped Up Version) - Ashley Sienna Two more to add to the stew pot!

Dark magic - Cher

WE ALL COME FROM THE GODDESS AND BACK TO HER WE SHALL RETURN LIKE A DROP OF RAaAAaAIIIN FLOWING TO THE OCEAN!!🎶🎚️

AURORA has an album called "MUSIC FOR THE FELLOW WITCHES OUT THERE" but honestly a lot of her work is witchy.

I love Deity from Wendy Rule.

Abracadabra by Qveen Herby and Elements by Chinchilla! This is my personal “Your Witch is Showing” playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/395IVv5Oax47mRjkZzmrt1?si=oMOcmI78TrSbfFZR-VWUoQ&pi=u-qQMa9qidRnCH

So many! So these exact ones- I am not a woman I’m a god by Halsey Lighthouse Halsey Rage by Samantha Margret Witch Hunt by Chandler Leighton Martyr by King Mala Medusa by Kaia Jette Kiki Rockwell has so many options that all bring the vibe. Florence and the machine is incredible. Most of Paris Paloma’s discography but labour, the fruit, and as good a reason are my faves. Sleep Token. Loreena Mckennit. Spotify generated this playlist as “witchcore” for me lol. I’m still editing but it’s long so there are a lot of options https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3dukQjuvMiYLfoY0N3oj0S?si=zVOo8kicRqW_GBuxgcB4-Q&pi=u-Sx_uD0-FRM6b

I think she got cancelled a few years ago but, Eartheater has serious witchy vibes to her songs. I feel so inspired when I listen to her music. Not just for witchcraft but for my art projects too.

There’s something very witchy for me about the Mediæval Bæbes’ first three albums. I mean, it’s a lot of traditional medieval songs with religious or romantic themes, but they just have such powerful maiden energy!

Anything Enya or Celtic Woman 🍀

Put a spell on you Nina Simone

Almost anything by Warpaint

I'd recommend Twin Temple, they're songs are more 'satanic' than witchy but they give me a lot of energy during spellwork.

"A Misty Twilight Lotus that Rises from the River" is my go-to for witchy vibes. Faun - Unda is amazing, and anything from Loreena McKennitt is also a vibe <3

Alakazam! by Justice. It's like witchy dance music, I love it.

Kerli Oh Land Kate Bush

anything by twin temple, especially if you are interested in some witchy doo-wop / rock

I know my Girlfriend is a Witch

Come now dear children

I’m Wicked - Twin Temple

Spellwork by Austra Dance - Sóley Lady - Chromatics Battle Hymn - Faith and the Muse Disco//Very - Warpaint Lifeless - Stolen Babies

Witches Burn, Broomsticks from Pretty Reckless. Burn the witch by Dark Divine

Listen to 7 Headed Swan

Phildel is a good one.

Gothic band Inkubus Sukkubus has a lot of pagan inspired songs

i have a whole playlist! here are some of my favorites: shake off your flesh - the huntress and holder of hands wild eyes - mariee sioux this too shall pass - danny schmidt the waves we give - beautiful chorus

Feminine Energy by COBRAH maybe?? It’s like all bass, I love listening to it while driving😭 Also, Lola Blanc might have a few that would spike your interest!

Anything by Trobar De Morte, Peter Gundry, Shireen, Loreena McKennitt, Heilung, Faun, Omnia or Dead Can Dance

I assume you follow Eurovision as you listen to Doomsday Blue, but if not, Go_A has an excellent sound and their song "SHUM" has a witchy vibe. Raiven's song "Veronika" this year is about the first woman accused of witchcraft in Slovenia, sentenced to drowning. Outside of Eurovision, [IC3PEAK](https://youtu.be/MBG3Gdt5OGs?si=a8jxfAQcoK4RtoNa) is a Russian artist with a similar "sweet, but dark" style.

Cocorosie

Concertina Ballerina has the vibes of a witchy song but I’m not sure if it’s about witchcraft.

Witchcraft by Frank Sinatra, my jaaaaam

Die antwoord is very chaos witchy, their videos are filled with symbolism as well

I'd recommend zheani instead! Die Antwoord has a very shady history of abuse etc. Zheani was actually involved with and mistreated by them. Her song Whore of Babylon is really good if you're into heavier stuff and she has lots of other good songs!

I'll check that out. I didn't know they had a history

Silver springs by Fleetwood Mac has to be my fav Stevie is basically casting a spell on her ex who’s singing with her the whole time lol

There is an amazing playlist on Spotify called “Swamp Witch” that I highly recommend.

Stand by him - Ghost Witch image - Ghost

-there are SO many more but I thought I'd toss in some that I don't see already here. The Killing Moon- Echo and the Bunnymen Beechwood Park- The Zombies Time in a Bottle- Jim Croce Circle of Steel- Gordon Lightfoot Time Will Tell- Wizards (1977) Soundtrack Four Seasons in One Day- Crowded House Cuckoo- Moonsrise Kingdom Soundtrack While My Guitar Gently Weeps- Across the Universe Soundtrack (this version just evokes *such* a mood)

Dance Macabre and Witch Image from Ghost for me

Anything by Dylan Ross or Rozz Dyliams. He's one of the best artists ever imo, and my favorite artist.

*Into The Night* ,the loading screen music from the visual novel *Fate Stay/Night* has a nice spooky, mystical, magical feel. One Youtuber made a video with it on a 14 minute loop. [Into The Night-Fate Stay/Night](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4xsfkhcw-A)

The Pierces, Kalandra, Wardruna,Eardrums, Curious birds

Rheas Obsession (Toronto indie band from early 2000s). Their *entire* ‘Between Earth & Sky’ album. No skips.

I Am A Witch- Twin Temple Or really anything from them.

I love Delta Ray (Rae?). The Beast and Bottom of the River are my favorite. If you watch the music videos, you’ll see they’re very witchy. I think the lead singer is Wiccan? Not sure, but she is a practicing witch.

Heartlight by Kenny Loggins Kind of Woman by Stevie Nick's The Witchhunt by Rush Dark Lady by Cher

The Last Dinner Party have a very witchy vibe to their music

My mother told me One day I would buy Galleys with good oars And sails to distant shores Stand High up on the prow Noble barque I steer Steady course for the havens Hew many foe-man https://open.spotify.com/track/5QoMq0a8f0jK4n5RTmWXxF?si=meod5CMBQoOvLa9EPcQIlA

ListPlease!

As requested, I've created a playlist of the songs in this comment thread. [Here's the link!](http://open.spotify.com/playlist/0ffXOUTqD3rbwKpB4KnBHT) Note: I am a bot

Venus - Lady Gaga It has a beautiful energy.

Faith and the Muse - Chorus of the Furies. Actually most of the tracks in Evidence of Heaven album are pretty witchy. CLANN's entire Kin Fable album Florence + the Machine - Seven Devils Anything by Eivor, especially "I Tokuni” Ibeyi - Oya DakhaBrakha - Na Dobranich

Despójame by the Orishas and watch the music video!

Green Lung are a band that specializes in this. Very doom metal/Black Sabbath sounding. Every album is amazing and is all inspired by green man and witchcraft. My favorite is The Forest Church, but id give the album Woodland Rites or This Heathen Land a listen to get a more general vibe of them! 💚

Justyna Steczkowska is so good some of her songs are inspired by esoteric/occult culture i really recommend „Witch-er tarohoro” (song based on Polish slavic paganism *fun fact Justyna wanted to take this song to Eurovision a lot of Poles wanted that too but our christian juries were like „this is satanic”* Justyna is also about to make album to follow up witcher so stay tune) and „Dziewczyna szamana” is really great song too with some shamanic vibes

Here's a playlist of witchy songs by Irish artists https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2Z8vq9MxoGkzpisomQ3n2b?si=HPjYAUVqROa-U1iJ406ACg

Daya Dova- the seven sisters for more pagan Greenwich vibes but Heilung (as many else have mentioned) or Danheim for deep Viking earthy things

I listen to Clann during spiritual baths. Heilung is great for building intent. Ramsey for dirty sultry, great for solo SX magic.

What a fantastic variety of music. "powerful witchy feeling" gave freedom for a lot of atmospheric offerings. As someone that prefers music which catches the essence as opposed to straight up "witchcraft gospel" this has been a rare treat. [Tones on Tail Burning Skies](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xnUUaFajXw) *I love you like you love me not*

Check out Wendy Rule and S.J. Tucker

I'll avoid ones other people have mentioned. Don't think I saw these though. Dessumiis Luge by Eluveitie has lyrics from an actual Gaulish curse tablet. Was a curse upon Roman leadership at the time if I remember right. There's Black Magic by Magic Wands. The Devil's Courtship by Battlefield Band has a very magical feel for me. Parts of it sound magical or like a spell. Also the band Snow Ghosts. I've really enjoyed their most recent album, The Fell. There's also Cernunnos by Faith and the Muse which is from his perspective, and another Faith and the Muse song Annwyn Beneath the Waves. Edit: Oh yeah, a lot of songs from Hexvessel too. Invocation Summoning and I Am the Ritual are a couple of favorites with a particularly magical feel, but I love a lot of their stuff.

Idk if anyone has said this one yet, but "notre dame" by Paris Paloma is such a beautifu song. It would be a song definetly great for mbackground music while engaging in a working.

The dreadful end of Marianna for sorcery by malinky

Witches spell, acdc

Seeing Cher in the list brought to mind soundtracks like The Witches of Eastwick. And a song related to a cautionary tale regarding costs associated with withholding acknowledgment Once Upon A Dream - Lana Del Rey

Season of the witch

A couple artists to check out: Damh the Bard SJ Tucker Gaia Consort

If you’re feeling like a ✨fruity witch✨ The Cult of Dionysus 💅 by the Orion Experience is a masterpiece.

I personally love same old energy and burn your village by Kiki Rockwell!

**Elemental** - *Opus III* Panic Wrought Worlock(Skinny Puppy cover) Heathen (Witch's Hammer) Fall To Fragments Burn The Body Refuse(acoustic) * **Android Lust** The Birds of Rhiannon - Faith and the Muse Metric Synthetica

Boyfriend - Dove Cameron

Daisy Rickman all day every day. She's a Cornish artist and I'm absolutely obsessed with her albums.

Possession - Gitane Demone

Don’t laugh at me but “Jolene” by Dolly

Some of the songs on my witching hour playlist are: Soulless creatures, The Seed, Heathens (all by AURORA), The consequence of imagination is fear (by Junie & TheHutFriends), Tongues & teeth (by The Crane Wives), Me and the Devil (by Soap&Skin) Grizzly Man (by Rockettothesky)
