Here in this circle where all love
is sacred, we flesh the flayed
in earth, clothe the nameless
in air, speak our truths
in fire, temper unseen blades
in water charged by the moon.
Lady of the Crossroads,
we stride in your light
hand in hand.
Sun Hesper Jansen, Excerpt from ‘Hand in Hand,’ Darker Objects
“I love that I’m on anyone’s list of witches to call when some collective spellwork is needed on a book! It very much felt like a weaving, with both pieces I collaborated on, and I knew when I saw the final work that the book will bring power right where it’s needed.”
–Sun Hesper Jansen
