Sara Hannant presents photographic portraits created collaboratively with contemporary magical practitioners in the New Forest and London. Her images explore the ways in which they define their identity and express their beliefs. A further photographic series presents her personal interpretation the Wiccan Wheel of the Year.
A link between the two artist's work is archaeologist, anthropologist and folklorist Margaret Murray who argued that records from historic witch trials revealed a remnant pre-Christian Pagan religion. Although her ideas have since been largely rejected, they were an important influence on Gerald Gardner who established Wicca, a form of modern Pagan Witchcraft.
Witch/Craft runs from 21 March to 16 May at St Barbe Museum, New Street, Lymington, Hampshire, SO41 9BH. The museum is open Monday – Saturday, 10am-4pm. Adult tickets are £6. You c an find out more here: www.stbarbe-museum.org.uk/whats-on/exhibitions/witch-craft/
