Description

Based on her critically acclaimed exhibition, Major Arcana collects the work of photographer Frances F. Denny, who travelled around the U.S. photographing and interviewing a diverse group of people who identify as witches. This book is an exploration of contemporary witchery told through striking photographs and short, inspiring essays written by the Terry Gross of witches, Pam Grossman, and the subjects themselves. From occultists and Neo-pagans, to herbalists and Wiccan High Priestesses, Dennys portraits capture the face of modern American witchcraft and challenge our assumptions about who and what a witch really is.
