I've had Swedish black metal project Nivlhel on repeat for the past two days. Vrede IV from their self-titled debut album is an astonishingly powerful piece of music.

The Witches & Wraiths Of Instagram : Linn Setane
Bergen, it would appear, has a magickal influence on all darkly inclined creatives who dwell there. Artist Linn Setane has, quite literally, stolen my breath with her intricate artworks and exquisite photography. I want to climb inside her images and stay there.
The Artwork Of Stephanie Houser
I apologize for my lack of knowledge about artist Stephanie Houser, but I simply had to share her spectacular work. I stumbled across it on Tumblr last night and was itching to share, plus, I needed something special for my 1,000 post here on Wyrd Words & Effigies. I'm going to continue trying to find… Continue reading The Artwork Of Stephanie Houser
The Artwork Of Alexandria Noël
Based out of Massachusetts, artist Alexandria Noël is heavily influenced by the misty coastlines and dense forests of New England. Her beautiful Etsy shop is stocked with hand screen printed t-shirts, patches, cards and wrapping paper featuring a variety of dark illustrations. My favourite has to be the Krampus patch. I can think of a… Continue reading The Artwork Of Alexandria Noël

This is gloriously intense black metal - honestly, I can't believe this is all done by one human being - which you need to pay attention to. The… Continue reading Sound Of The Day : Borgne
Sinister Snow Globes
I've always had a fascination for snow globes. My Grandmother had an enormous collection once upon a time, and they would keep me entertained for hours. (I was an easily pleased child.) So, when I landed upon the work of long-term artist duo Walter Martin and Paloma Muñoz I was immediately captivated. But they make… Continue reading Sinister Snow Globes
Sound Of The Day : Blodsrit
Some powerful, raw Swedish black metal to power me through the rest of the weekend. Blodsrit's 2004 album Helveteshymner is an exceptional piece of blackened art, which grows in strength with every listen.
Solve Sundsbo…Again
It wasn’t too long ago that I was raving about Norwegian photographer Solve Sundsbo…and I’m here again to do exactly the same thing. Sundsbo is one photographer who has really opened my eyes to mysterious world of fashion photography, a world which I must explore further.
Celebrating the strange and the shadowy, the damned and unseen
