CFP for a special issue of <\/em>The Pomegranate<\/a> on Pagan Art and Fashion<\/em> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0A beautiful young woman drapes her long auburn hair over a human skull, pressing it close to her face like a lover. Another, clad in black and holding a wooden staff, poses like a model in a photo shoot on location in an incongruous forest. Long, elaborately decorated fake fingernails like talons grasp shiny crystals, evoking the \u201cjust so\u201dbeauty of a staged magazine spread. In the world of the Witches of Instagram, the art of photography meets business witchery and feminist activism.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0 Is it (still) the season of the witch? Luxury fashion house Dior\u00a0 has a tarot-themed collection; witchcraft featured in recent issues of\u00a0Vogue\u00a0<\/em>magazine; young witch-identifying women perform \u201cfashion magic\u201d; and an alchemist-fashion designer has invented colour-changing hair dye, inspired by a scene in the 1996 movie The Craft<\/em>.An angry yet luxurious sex-positive feminism is in the air; goddesses, witches and sluts are rising up again, a decade and a half after Rockbitch stopped touring and almost thirty years after Annie Sprinkle\u2019s first workshops celebrating the sacred whore.\u00a0\u00a0Exhibitions showcasing the work of living and dead occult artists have been on the increase for several years now, most recently\u00a0Black Light: Secret Traditions in Art Since the 1950s<\/em>\u00a0at the Centre de Cultura Contempor\u00e0nia de Barcelona, and Barry William Hale + NOKO\u2019s Enochian performance at Dark Mofo in Tasmania..Multidisciplinary artist Bill Crisafi and dancer Alkistis Dimech exemplify the Sabbatic witchcraft aesthetic; Russ Marshalek and\u00a0VanessaIrena mix fitness and music with witchcraft in the age of the apocalypse; DJ Juliana Huxtable and queer arts collective House of Ladosha are a coven; rappers Azealia Banks and Princess Nokia are out and proud brujas; and singer\u00a0Lanadel Rey admits hexing Donald Trump.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
