Oh, this reminds me (in a tangent sort of way) that i was browsing through a webpage full of mp3 blogs (music, film, podcasts-a mishmash) and ran acoss, i think it may have been an mp3 or even a pdf, of a paper written about "The Sex Life of the PLatypus"
Will hunt it down for you if you like (it's a very long page under MP3) or you can scroll thru:
Ok, the link i found from a post on all those versions of Stairway to Heaven and clicked on the MP3 blogs to find the other stuff. "Superstition-Middle Ages, Then and Now" narrated by Burroughs, is downloadable (at least Part 1 is) Part 2 is on YouTube, i've never found a way to download the videos or even photos there. Weird, most of their stuff is *not* original content, people post videos from everywhere but you can only watch them online, you can't even retrieve them from your cache. The first half of Part 1 is original surreal old footage, the rest is hilarious, done by some preacher, i guess, warning about sex, hippies, magic, etc, etc.
I thought it looked familiar. I'd seen it at the Orson Welles Theater, i think, in the 70's in Cambridge. Though it didn't have that modern goofy after-talk/sermon/whatever as far as i know.
Modern witchcraft, etc, just wasn't well known yet to the general public and they still got most of their ideas about magic, the occult in general, and especially witchcraft from old out of date books (not counting the real books on ritual and ceremonial magic which were always available) They did show a few shots of neopagans in the live commentary part of the film tho :)
It's hard to find my cursor on this light gray background (mild grumble)
Hey, thanks for posting that quote: I was scrabbling around for a title for a rather old Nyarlathotep track that Jeremy and I had done a few years ago, but which we're currently reworking to fit on the new album--and now I have it!
Incidentally, we're going to be giving the album away Completely Free on our website as soon as it's done...but we're going to actually be putting together some "special editions" with exclusive art and stuff like that for all our friends who've enjoyed our stuff for so long. You're most definitely getting one of 'em.

It's worth a few giggles, not a bad movie to watch drinking a bottle of cheap wine while putting on makeup on a October night
