Frances Denny Major Arcana

Annotation

A photo-based exploration of modern-day witches from all over America, beautifully capturing the various ways ';witch-ness' belongs to those who claim it.Based on her critically acclaimed exhibition, Major Arcana collects the work of photographer Frances F. Denny, who traveled 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, Denny's portraits capture the face of modern American witchcraft and challenge our assumptions about who and what a witch really is.
