I'm not sure if anyone knows the answer to this, but I thought this would be a good place to post it.
Does anybody know if Sandy Denny was a witch? Was she a practicing Wiccan?
There are things in her songs which suggest so. Maybe I read too much into it, but does anyone know?

Hello Chris! Haven't 'seen' you for ages!

I don't know if Sandy Denny was a Witch/Wiccan, but I know what you mean. I wouldn't be at all surprised.

Love Lynne

Don't remember much of her stuff. Chris - Can you give some examples of the kind of thing that makes you think she might have been?
I'm Wiccan myself so, like you, I'm interested too!

The subject matter of some of her original songs lean towards an interest (at least) in the religion and culture. It might just be a Celtic thing, or the type of music she was involved with in her Fairport days.

I think she predates the eclectic Dogs-dinner that is "Wicca".

Not to mention the eclectic dog's-dinner that is "Celtic".

I take your point Pied Piper - but depensds what you mean by Wicca. Different on each side of the pond, I think.
