A friend of mine was asking on Facebook yesterday about where to find the full version of the Charmed theme song. And it got me to thinking about theme songs to "pagan" TV shows. Most of these theme songs are not by pagan artists, but we still come to associate them with pagany themes because of their association with these TV shows. So I feel like these theme songs would fall under the banner of the pagan music scene because while they are not written
by the pagan community, they are definitely
for the pagan community through their association with these shows.
Take, for instance, this song - a cover of "How Soon Is Now?" by Love Split Love (also called the Psychedelic Furs).
The band isn't pagan, and there isn't anything particularly pagan about this song. When you listen to it, you probably instantly think of witches, a big hand-drawn Book of Shadows, energy balls, rhyming spells, and demon fighting with "the Power of Three," amiright? (It's the full version of the
Charmed theme song, in case you're not familiar with the show.)

Of course, I still prefer
the original version by The Smiths. You just can't beat Morrissey's distinctive voice.
What's your favorite theme song to a neopagan-y TV show? Tell me about it in the comments!
