''Witch-Ikon: Witchcraft in Art and Artifact'' by Three Hand Press, October 2017

For those who enjoy this page, this might be of interest.  I am happy to announce a book project i have had the pleasure and honour of working on this year as one of the co editors has come to fruition. 

 ''Witch-Ikon: Witchcraft in Art and Artifact'' by Three Hand Press'  

'' a stunning collection of witchcraft imagery spanning five centuries. The book's purview ranges from folk depictions to demonology to fine art, through the fetishistic charms of folk-sorcery to the magical inspired imagery of modern occultism.'

 It will be accompanied by  a special Art exhibition of Contemporary Witchcraft Imagery at Mortlake & Company Gallery in Seattle, opening this Friday October 5 - 6pm - 9pm, which will include some works by me and some artists that have been featured in the Cabinet too.  Link to event below
