Interview With Vetter
I was introduced to Vetterkult, the debut album from Norwegian black metal band Vetter in the closing days of 2013. I knew pretty much straight away that I needed to get under the skin of the man behind the mayhem, Håvard Tveito. I'm honoured that Håvard agreed to an interview for Wyrd Words & Effigies and am… Continue reading Interview With Vetter
Winter Dark
Greetings all. I've been living in Norway now for a few weeks and have been going out into the forest on an almost daily basis, and thought you might enjoy some of the visions I've captured.
Old Hag
I don’t know much about Old Hag, only that her actual name is Darby Lahger and she’s married to Shamaatae of Arckanum. I do have a great fondness for her evocative photography though.
Mathilda Ulf
I love Society6 I really do, but you have to wade through a lot of hipster orientated stuff to find the really decent artwork.

It was a wonderful surprise to find her gorgeous captures of the natural world available… Continue reading Mathilda Ulf

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 : 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
Herr Mannelig
Herr Mannelig is one of my all-time favourite songs. I was introduced to Swedish band Garmarna when I was in Olso one winter a few years ago, staying with a Finnish friend. It was the perfect time to be led into the captivating worlds they create. I've been obsessed with their music ever since. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2kc570KwUs
