Secret Rites (1971) Synopsis

More than anything in the world, Penny, a Notting Hill hairstylist and occult enthusiast, wants to join a coven. Having written to High Priest Alex Sanders, Europe's King of the Witches, expressing her interest in witchcraft, Penny receives a reply from an already-initiated witch to arrange a meeting to determine whether she is suited for initiation into their dark community. If the real-life occultist allows her into their secret circle, Penny will have to undergo authentic Wiccan ceremonies and the most sacred of all rituals: the rarely witnessed, never-before-photographed Egyptian rite of Ra taken from the forbidden "Book of the Dead". Does Penny have what it takes to be a modern-day witch?—Nick Riganas
