It's reflective of the mid-sixties-and into early 80s with it being marketed as being in vogue and explicit Satanism was popularized as the ultimate anti-establishment expression and looked at be some at benign, nature-loving, freeing and funny in how knee-jerked the Religious Right was by it. The humorous culmination of Dana Carvey's "Church Lady" on SNL. The Salem witch trials are always used as the signal case of Hateful Religious persons oppressing misfits in society and opening the mind to how harmless witchcraft is in contrast to how depraved institutional Christian Religion is. The comedy factor is far behind us now. Expunge and annihilate EVIL
Most people during that time were not accepting of evil the way they are now. They have slowly made everything evil acceptable so that now people are completely desensitized to just about all of it. They don't hide their crazy, evil crap any more.
As a regularly churched kid going into public high school, I was creeped out seeing an upside down cross on a Blue Oyster Cult tape in a new friend’s car. It didn’t take long to evolve from alarmed to, “Yeah, but the music is cool!” We best watch our offspring carefully and prayerfully and keep them saturated in the Word. “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour” (I Peter 5:8). And thank God for parents who took and take Him at His word: “Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he will not depart from it” (Proverbs 22:6).
Counterculture at its most flagrantly offensive smack in the face of civility and respect for women and the law. The vulgarity grieves my soul, and a generation of Americans now considers it “normal.” If we’re not civil, we’re uncivilized.

Remember that "Rosemary's Baby" and "The Stepford Wives" emerged from that period (my own late teens and early maturity)
