Showing a new monotype painting and driftwood collage works in Plucking the Broom
at No Limits! Art Castle with fellow witches 🕯️🐦‍🔥
The driftwood pieces I got from Stefan when I was volunteering at his rescue center on Curacao. Having a bond with another animal, a familiar, was enough to be interpreted as evidence of magical practices and thereby to be accused of witchcraft. To form a bond with other species asks to pay attention to a world that does not exist solely on human terms, to be in touch with one’s surrounding, and that is the basis of many practices of magic and modern witchcraft alike. On the driftwoods are pictures of Goofy, Gail, Sambo, Charlie and Hugo and fragments of several texts on magic and witchcraft 👁️‍🗨️🗯️ Some of them are also collaborations with GC. And all of these works are for sale in the gallery of No Limits between 200-250€, my % will go directly to Stefan’s rescue center <3 
The collaged texts are from:

Water and Dreams - Gaston Bachelard
Apocalyptic Witchcraft - Peter Grey
Wikipedia on Familiars
History of Magic - Chris Godsen
The Women’s encyclopedia of Symbols and Sacred Objects - Barbara Walker
Energy Magic - Silvia Hartmann
