“The Summoner”, my new painting is now showing in “Actual Size” at @moderneden In the piece, the mourning spotted skunk conjures her beloved using the skull of the deceased while silk moths support in the moonlit ritual. The rosemary signifies remembrance, the pink carnations maternal love and the juniper protection in Floriography, the Victorian Language of Flowers. As magical herbs the rosemary, carnation and juniper wield powers of protection, love, healing and strength.

The show is now open in person in San Francisco and online at moderneden.com

A close up of all the intricately drawn and screen printed details of the protective talisman on my limited edition Svärdsbrev Cropped Fleece Hoodie. I designed and drew this piece which is called a Svärdsbrev (Sword Letter) that is used as an amulet for physical protection when worn or carried. This type of magic(k) is called Trolldom, or Norse Folk Magic. This drawing is literally a spell you wear upon your person, and with it brings physical and mental protection. Now available for immediate shipping in sizes S-XL via my Häxa Shop- corybenhatzel.etsy.com

I’m absolutely in love with how the Svärdsbrev Cropped Fleece Hoodies came out. Not only did all the intricate details of my drawing print beautifully, the cozy softness of the fleece fully lined throughout (including inside the hood) make this my favorite hoodie in my collection. The Svärdsbrev (spell for protection) print acts as a talisman and I can feel it’s shielding magick. Better pics coming soon and shipping begins Monday!

I designed and drew this piece which is called a Svärdsbrev (Sword Letter) that is used as an amulet for physical protection when worn or carried. This type of magic(k) is called Trolldom, or Norse Folk Magic. This drawing is literally a spell you wear upon your person, and with it brings physical protection. For as long as I can remember, especially in recent times, I've been obsessed with the idea of creating more protection around myself, both in the physical and mental sense, and creating this piece which I can offer to others feels incredibly fulfilling. The magical herbs Wormwood and Anise (two of the three of the "Holy Trinity" in Absinthe) which represent protection surround the characters of a 19th century Norwegian Trolldom to guard against physical and mental harm. Tomorrow I will announce the garment that the Svärdsbrev will be printed upon, and the date for it's imminent and very limited release.

“Bonden Saknas (The Farmer Is Missing)”

acrylic on birch panel

12 x 16 inches

2021

.

“The fields had been silent, barn empty with no trace...

not a creature among them spied the farmer’s face...

As the sun did set upon rolling field

The dimming of twilight could not shield...

The fullest moon shone down from high and the creatures faced with whitest eye...

Illuminating not church nor house,

All creatures together, even little mouse...

No more cruelty would they face...

A dark eyed skull now sat in his place...

The farmer’s missing...with no trace.”

Happy New Year! I meant to take a better pic of my new hair but I got lazy so here’s a #dumbmirrorselfie . I’m excited to have new paintings in the works and am hoping we can make 2021 better than 2020. 🖤
