In the summer issue of Dazed magazine is an interesting photoshoot entitled Season of the Witch. It combines “fashion” (look at what she is wearing) with images from works about occultism, witchcraft and ceremonial magick. More telling is this new trend pushed by mass media: Associating witchcraft with “female empowerment”. Indeed, the text under the title states: “To reclaim the word witch is to reclaim our right as women to be powerful. Tracing sex, magick, and symbolism of female power distilled”. Click to enlarge

Next to this model (who has a “please kill me” look on her face) are diagrams taken from various occult works. The article accompanying the photoshoot is basically an infomercial for witchcraft, selling it as a tool for female empowerment. Not unlike Beyoncé’s Lemonade, “empowerment” is intertwined with the occult elite’s philosophy (without actually revealing any of it). The article contains sentences such as: “The independence of women is the great strength of witchcraft”, “I feel like the witch is relevant because women are still mistreated” and “They were powerful women and there’s nothing more scary to a patriarchy than that”.

Queen Elizabeth II on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine with an egg yolk covering one eye. Is this “punk”? Or a mainstream magazine telling you what the Queen is truly about?

The One-Eye sign is increasingly featured on a disturbing amount of movie posters. This is a poster for Doctor Strange.
