Bohemian, eccentric and extraordinarily talented, she has left her mark in Sydney folklore as 'the Witch of Kings Cross' and as a painter of the supernatural who was presumed during the moralistic social era of the 1950's to indulge in 'Satanism and pornography'. This view of her reflects the narrow judgemental attitudes that hounded her for most of her creative life."<br /><br /></i></span><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZbEcwlWyMmM/SSGcRYyVgzI/AAAAAAAAAKs/zhkyQ4swUks/s1600-h/3.jpg"><img style="margin:0pt 10px 10px 0pt;float:left;width:200px;height:290px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZbEcwlWyMmM/SSGcRYyVgzI/AAAAAAAAAKs/zhkyQ4swUks/s320/3.jpg" alt="" border="0"></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6594297889595803939-5795878546888791224?l=graywitch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594297889595803939.post-9589204946266449502008-11-14T13:38:00.000-08:002011-01-07T04:10:46.369-08:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZbEcwlWyMmM/SR3FxvB4lHI/AAAAAAAAAKc/0w0iaijIYTc/s1600-h/blackmass11.jpg"><img style="margin:0pt 10px 10px 0pt;float:left;width:206px;height:320px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ZbEcwlWyMmM/SR3FxvB4lHI/AAAAAAAAAKc/0w0iaijIYTc/s320/blackmass11.jpg" alt="" border="0"></a>I won a copy of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satanism_and_Witchcraft">Satanism and Witchcraft </a>off of ebay. It's an interestingly written book, kind of stream of conscious. I'm not a Satanist, but I am very interested in "history of the craft" books, in particular ones written before 'Wicca' really took off. This one is dated 1939, and is surprisingly sympathetic to it's subject for something written at it's time.<br /><br />I loathe reading the "witches are evil and must be destroyed" trash that is about 99% of the 'older' market.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6594297889595803939-958920494626644950?l=graywitch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6594297889595803939.post-38032772322424062102008-11-12T18:34:00.000-08:002011-01-07T04:10:46.357-08:00<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/JUXK7As-yl0&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1" allowScriptAccess="never" allowFullScreen="true" width="425" height="344" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed><br /><br />I'm proud of Keith for saying this.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6594297889595803939-3803277232242406210?l=graywitch.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>adminnoreply@blogger.com0
