Sunday Link Roundup 9.12.21
Happy Sunday everyone. Last Sunday was a miss, a mix of the three-day weekend and unexpected company combined to take up all my designated writing time. Either way, this week I am back with six more links of varying interest. Enjoy!
1. Neither Gods Nor Witches Ever Went Away
On 11 September, 2021, Rhyd Wildermuth presented on paganism, animism, and climate change as part of the agora Citoyenne Sur Les รcosystemesย in the ruins of a medieval castle in the town of Esch-Sur-Sรปre.
2. Internet Occultists Are Trying to Change Reality With a Magickal Algorithm
The Sigil Engine adapts an ancient practice for the internet age, creating mystic symbols that true believers say can bend the universe to their will.
3. Photography: Witches as Women Empowered by the Occult
Using the rather anachronistic technique of wet plate collodion process, Rik Garrettโs photographic series envisions โa matristic, nature-based world; a female-centric, ritualistic community completely apart from the rest of society. This is a history of 'witchcraft' devoid of 'witch hunts,' a race of women who draw their energy and inspiration from the Earth itself.ย
4. Encyclopedia Of A World That Doesnโt Exist | Codex Seraphinianus
5. Islamic Finger-Snapping Demons And Other Illustrations from Marvels of Things Created and Miraculous Aspects of Things Existing, 1283
These illustrations of finger-snapping demons and fantastical creatures are actually pretty cute! The book was originally published in 1283 by Zakarฤซyฤโ ibn Muแธฅammad al-Qazwฤซnฤซ who was working in the city of Qazwฤซn in Persia.

Did you make it here from Reddit, Twitter or Instagram? Do you like this kind of content? I would be absolutely thrilled if you would subscribe to this newsletter, so I can feel better about not just talking to myself. I aim to publish about once a week, depending on what I have to say. Many thanks!
