Spyrys et an Twelder
Translated from Cornish to “Spirit in the Darkness”
This work revolves around the observed practice of a local practitioner in a Cornish Vale. The communication of the spirits of the area and the water, the feminine aspect of the divine. Unstaged, the images are simply a documentation of an extraordinary woman practising magic, connecting to the divine and the spirits around her. I observe witchcraft from a non-binary perspective, this opens new corridors and perspectives in practice. By viewing the occult world in masculine or feminine energy on a spectrum, anyone may connect with the divine energies that surround us including the Feminine no matter the background. This work studies feminine-identifying individuals in contemporary occult practice connecting to the divine feminine energies, with aesthetic influence from the tarot, and the spirits of the land as well as a curious documentarian ideology of trying to capture something not from this plane of existence with the camera.
In my previous works such as Pagans Generation Z' “Book Of Shadows” which is a document of young occult practitioners in the United Kingdom, this work is perused as more of an experiment. Building close relationships
with the subjects, and collaborating to capture the occult on camera, and perhaps provide evidence of the spirits and mythologies of the occult practices.
