Interview : Ysambre Fauntography

Inspired by nature, mythological creatures and music, Ysambre Fauntography provides an escape into a different world. I repeatedly find myself going back to the enthralling images of fantastical creatures and forests with heavy mantles of mist, dramatic mountain ranges and humans intertwined with the earth itself. Can you please tell us a little bit about… Continue reading Interview : Ysambre Fauntography

Interview : James Watts

The work of artist James Watts intrigues and fascinates me. When I first came across it my first thought was ‘this is exactly the sort of art Wyrd Words & Effigies needs to be showcasing.’ The following interview presents an insight into the mind and creations of one mulch-talented individual, who looks far beyond the… Continue reading Interview : James Watts

Interview : The Creators Of Kin Fables

A few weeks ago, a friend sent me a link to a short film, titled ‘Kin,’ and mentioned how it carried the atmosphere he wanted to convey in live action role-play. I was utterly bewitched from start to finish, and had to sit for a few moments afterwards to gather my thoughts. I remember muttering… Continue reading Interview : The Creators Of Kin Fables

Interview : Sisters of the Black Moon

I experience an almost overwhelmingly wonderful feeling when I wander through the Sisters of the Black Moon site. Click after click, view after view, my heart expands, and I find myself thinking; ‘these women must have slipped into my mind and rooted around until they found what I love most of all. They must have.’… Continue reading Interview : Sisters of the Black Moon

Book Review – Black Metal: European Roots & Musical Extremities (Ed. Troy Southgate)

Whenever I hear about the publication of a new book on the subject of Black Metal, I pounce and pre-order. When the tome arrives, I savour it, lapping up every word, sometimes putting it back down after one chapter, to return to it the following day, so as to make it last longer. My first… Continue reading Book Review – Black Metal: European Roots & Musical Extremities (Ed. Troy Southgate)

Interview : Noctex Clothing

When I came across Noctex the world stopped for a while. I felt an immediate connection to almost every item in Negin Izad’s online store, and wandered round the pages in a daze. Her designs are unique, adaptable and absolutely spectacular. When did Noctex come into existence, and what is the story behind the name?… Continue reading Interview : Noctex Clothing

Interview : Ovate

There is a real air of mysticism around Audrey Cantwell, the women behind independent clothing line Ovate, and I feel exceptionally lucky that she agreed to take part in an interview for Wyrd Words & Effigies. When Wyrd Words & Effigies was still in the planning stages, I had it in my head that I… Continue reading Interview : Ovate

Interview : Osteal Jewelry

Last year I happened upon an Etsy site that made me momentarily lose my ability to talk. My jaw was hanging around somewhere on the floor and before I found it again, I knew I had to, had to had to have a piece of Amanda Langston’s work. I fell deeply in love with a… Continue reading Interview : Osteal Jewelry

Interview : Black Insignia

    I am a hunter of unique and unusual things that thrive in the shadows. Most days, I retreat from my hunt unsatisfied. But there are times when I happen across something so wonderfully out of the ordinary that I pull my shoulders back and howl. It was handmade jewellery business Black Insignia that… Continue reading Interview : Black Insignia
