WitchCraft

Witches who cast charms or incantations to enchant or enthrall propelled early modern fears of witches destroying communities. Were they really conjuring evil in a coulron? Or were they just making a tasty brew and feeding the family? The impact of the witch trials lives on to this day, it evoked a fear in women, robbing us of our very inate power as women to chant, to be connected with nature, spirit and creativity. This series is a reclaimation of lost traditions, a rediscovering of female spirit through creativity and and exploration of the concept of the 'witch'.
