Nothing says satanic worship than naked women releasing themselves from their robes. So just nakedness, the whole upside down cross thing and uh… those Jewish candles? They’re satanic right? And of course nakedness.

There you go boys. CSA found one that gives you it all.
Nice perm though….

Don’t forget the fact she’s Irish, thats practically the same thing as Satanic, right?
I’ve read a couple of the old Wheatley books, actually enjoyed them, there is definately not an upper limit to how many satanic orgies should be in a book.
SI: i’m pretty sure we watched “the devil rides out” movie years ago… and i’m pretty sure it was pretty awful, but also Hamtastic… good ole Christopher Lee.. cant beat him..

Oh yea I forgot being Irish automatically puts you in league with the devil.
Yea I do remember watching it and I might even admit to owning it too. Lee of course Ham’s everything but all in all its pretty entertaining. Don’t forget the goat-headed demon who appears… and… the devil depicted by an African tribesman. Nice.

Yeah i remembered the bit with the African tribesman, but i didn’t want to mention it incase i’d somehow just imagined it lol … I supose it could be excused given the snobbery/upperclass (1940’s?) tone of alot of Wheatley’s books… still, it was pretty dodgy seeing it in the movie.
Back to this cover… Its got some of the hallmarks of a bad cover: poor artwork and nudity. If only the font was more awesome. What do you suppose the people on the right are doing? sacrifices?

He looks like she’s had one of those really embarrasing moments where you get your new strapless wrap dress hem trapped under the leg of a table and suddenly your in the middle of a church naked, probably at some aunt’s wedding, and your nan is there not to mention the wedding photographer who just happens to take a timely snap just as you realise what is happening but its too late to stop the hideous slowmotion fall of the dress as it remains steadfastly behind when you take a fateful step forward and everyone is staring and you know you’ll never be able to go to any family event ever again…ever..
..or is that just me.

Maybe the witch is a Jewish witch. There’s precedent in fiction (well, TV anyway).
The people on the right are obviously planning to steal the menorahs: look at their masks! Classic burglar wear.
I didn’t know the yin/yang symbol was especially satanic either, but there are no less than two of them. Maybe they’re actually art deco spotlights?

The classic burglar masks dont really fit in with the wedding dress wardrobe malfunction theory.
Actually lets be fair, there are no 2 things on that cover that could rationally have reasons for being there

Little Mi > Sorry you can’t go to another family event. 😛
CSA > Exactly! What is satanism but a random assortment of semi collectible items. So basically any second hand store is actually a ‘church of evil!’

Ah, in the days before the coming of the sheep!

@L.B.—although I have to say some armpit sheeping wouldn’t be unwelcome for this cover.
April 4th, 2014 at 4:05 pm
Bottom right: did Marty Feldman really think we wouldn’t recognise him with that mask on?

Irish or Jewish? Witch is it?

The good thing about Flashback Friday is that you get to see things you might have missed first time around, like she seems to have lost her—mask.
Also, what’s holding that cape up?
November 11th, 2016 at 1:38 pm
@b.chiclitz- WITCHCRAFT! (bum bum BUMMMM! cue flying bats and fade to blacj)
November 11th, 2016 at 1:40 pm
Blacj of course being her Transylvanian hand maiden.

🎶🎶 Those fingers in the air
That cape taped to your hair
That strips your “conscience” bare
It’s witchcraft
They try to call it cover art
Makes teenage boys just fall apart
What good would common sense for it do
‘Cause it’s witchcraft, Irish Witchcraft
And although, I know, it’s strictly taboo
When GSS comes calling me
And you say “Check out all of me”
There’s just no telling what I will do
It’s such an ancient pitch
(Menorahs are a switch)
And there’s no nuder witch than you 🎵🎵
November 11th, 2016 at 2:16 pm
Somebody get her an Aran sweater! She’s going to catch a chill!

♫ ♫ When I look in my browser window
Many sights to see
And I log into Good Show Sir
So many different people to be
That it’s strange, sure is strange
It’s Flashback Friday, it’s no glitch
You’ve got a cover that is kitsch
You’ve got a cover that makes you twitch
The rabbits running in the ditch
The art editor’s asleep at the switch
Must be the season of the witch
A caped satanic naked bitch

What a load of BS (Before Sheep).

This would have taken several Sheep.
That font, with that title, looks like it ought to be on one of those cutesy paranomal romances — she’s an Irish witch, he’s a Navy SEAL, together they fight crime or summat. Or she owns a twee teashop and brews up little spells.
Not a scary or Satanic font, is what I’m saying.

Man Wearing camouflage jacket and balaclava asks “Is she a Protestant Irish witch or a Catholic Irish witch?”
April 24th, 2019 at 8:53 pm
@Ray P: Not in closeup, the figures on the right do look a bit military. You can’t really make out the veil on the white-capped one, which makes them look like a motorcycle cop, out to cite the Irish Witch for… I don’t know, chanting spells at a rate over the speed limit? Another’s the fire marshal citing her for igniting too many candles in a confined space while very unsafely dressed?
She has to be a Catholic (Jewish Irish) witch. Nobody ever says a Black Presbyterian Worship Service to do evil magicks. And she’s dancing!
