Readings, etc.



Please read over this short article on Kenneth Anger's career for next week. The reading packet also has an excellent article on the color structure of Invocation of My Demon Brother entitled "Magick in Theory and Practice" (which also happens to be the title of a book by Aleister Crowley), which should also be very applicable to some of the issues concerned with this week's second viewing, Night of the Demon, and next week's. The Devil Rides Out. As well, the discussion of color structure will be very relevant to our viewing of Rosemary's Baby.

Next week we will be discussing the elements of occult imagery in cinema, as well as the social context of the occult revival of the 1960s.

Beginning the following week, we will start having oral presentations in class.
