In episode 176 of the Magick &amp; Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew explore the creative lives of Ithell Colquhoun and Lucille Clifton. Colquhoun was an artist and author who combined surrealism with her interest in bodily landscapes, gender fluidity, ecology, mythology, transient states, and erotic alchemy. Both Colquhoun and Clifton believed their artistic practices were forms of divination and ways to connect with the spirit world. Clifton engaged with Ouija and ‘spirit writing’ to inspire her poetry, which focused on history, the African American experience, Blackness, and the Black body. She believed that the purpose of poetry and art was not to reveal answers but to ask questions.Sources &amp; Shoutouts:<a href='https://www.tamedwild.com/a/blog/the-myth-of-clytie-and-apollo?srsltid=AfmBOooyLqBlHYZEPPCSZMryAYs17o2aiD8LqwgeQuvE4G3crouhCrzA'>The Myth of Apollo and Clytie</a><a href='https://iapsop.com/archive/materials/quest/'>The Quest - Journal Archives</a><a href='https://www.theosophy.wiki/en/The_Quest_Society?__cf_chl_tk=RXn1h6UryyayaUGX6BG8lZL0FqNG2YXEMdUOpXLH64o-1773595419-1.0.1.1-ex7Vv7NcZyUifGDiV.tAgsbgKFHMonL.0PPkXu2Qh9s'> The Quest Society</a> “Ithell Colquhoun: A queer, occultist artist who created between worlds,” Isabella Greenwood<a href='https://www.instagram.com/p/C4YzIunuJVA/?hl=en'> Art Historian Katy Hessel</a> “A Diagram of Desire, Androgyny, Queer Eroticism, and the Occult Visions of Ithell Colquhoun,” Isabella Greenwood <a href='https://cornwall.muddystilettos.co.uk/things-to-do/arts-culture-things-to-do/first-look-ithell-colquhoun-between-worlds-tate-st-ives/'>First Look: Ithell Colquhoun: Between Worlds</a>Dawn Ades, ‘Notes on Two Women Surrealist Painters: Eileen Agar and Ithell Colquhoun’, Women in Art 3, no. 1 (1980) <a href='https://www.tate.org.uk/art/artworks/colquhoun-scylla-t02140'>Scylla (1938)</a>Alchemical Figure: Androgyne  (1941) Diagrams of Love (1940)<a href='https://poets.org/poet/lucille-clifton'>About Lucille Clifton - Poets.org</a>&quot;Won’t You Celebrate With Me,&quot; Lucille Clifton<a href='https://scholarblogs.emory.edu/marbl/2022/07/13/spirit-writing-body-problems-lucille-cliftons-faith'>“Spirit Writing, Body Problems: Lucille Clifton’s Faith”</a><a href='https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2020/10/19/the-spirit-writing-of-lucille-clifton/'>“The Spirit Writing of Lucille Clifton,” Marina Magloire</a>Join Tenth House Rising! <a href='https://www.tenthhouserising.com'>Tenth House Rising</a> offers seasonal learning for those who seek meaning through myth, magick, and memory.

Episode 176: Women in Art & the Occult: Ithell Colquhoun & Lucille Clifton

In episode 175 of the Magick &amp; Alchemy podcast, hosts Kate Belew and Kristin Lisenby continue their series on Women in Art &amp; the Occult, dedicating this chapter to Georgie Yeats and Sylvia Plath. Georgie was an author and medium whose journey with automatic writing began during her honeymoon with the poet and author W.B. Yeats. Over the next decade, she channeled messages from spirits who called themselves the “Instructors,” producing 50 notebooks and thousands of pages of writing and geometric designs on the occult nature of reality. Meanwhile, fellow author and mystic Sylvia Plath preferred the Ouija board to communicate with the spirit world. Although she was fiercely private about her magical interests, she relied on astrology, ‘homemade talking boards,’ and tarot cards as tools to guide her pen.CW: Mention of SuicideSources &amp; Shoutouts:<a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._B._Yeats'>W.B.

In episode 174 of the Magick &amp; Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew delve into the creative lives of magical women for their new series, Women in Art &amp; the Occult. They open with the story of Hilma af Klint, a Swedish artist who explored Spiritualism, mediumship, automatic drawing, and the teachings of Rudolf Steiner and Madame Blavatsky in her work and creative process. Kate and Kristin also discuss Vali Myers, a bohemian artist known as the Witch of Positano. Vali was a maker and a muse, a painter and a tattoo artist, who was compared to the goddesses Artemis and Diana for her close relationship with animals and mountains, and for her wild nature.Sources &amp; Shoutouts:<a href='https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/magick-alchemy/id1540643661?i=1000681552470'>Episode 144: Wyrd Women, Pt. 2</a>New Moon Magic, Amy Torok &amp; Risa DickensWaking the Witch: Reflections on Women, Magic, and Power, Pam Grossman<a href='https://www.guggenheim.org/teaching-materials/hilma-af-klint-paintings-for-the-future/paintings-for-the-temple '>Paintings for the Temple, Guggenheim, New York</a><a href='https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2025/11/24/the-strange-afterlife-of-hilma-af-klint-paintings-posthumous-star'>“The Strange Afterlife of Hilma af Klint, Painting’s Posthumous Star,” Alice Gregory</a>The Spiral Dance, StarhawkJust Kids, Patti Smith<a href='https://www.messynessychic.com/2023/10/13/a-lesson-in-true-bohemianism-with-vali-myers-the-witch-of-positano/'>A Lesson in True Bohemianism with the Witch of Positano</a><a href='https://dangerousminds.net/comments/bohemian_like_you_vali_myers_the_witch_of_positano/'>Bohemian like you: Vali Myers the Witch of Positano</a><a href='https://youtu.be/m9i2ElfWSgA?si=FLKyAcA1pQ2FOf3q'>Everything Shines in the Darkness: Sheldon &amp; Diane Rochlin&apos;s Vali, The Witch of Positano - YouTube</a><a href='https://www.theage.com.au/culture/art-and-design/inside-the-remote-italian-home-of-australia-s-bohemian-high-priestess-20220822-p5bbp2.html'>Inside the remote Italian home of Australia’s bohemian high priestess</a><a href='https://www.vanityfair.com/culture/2011/04/love-on-the-left-bank-patti-smith-201104'>Photos: Revisiting Love on the Left Bank - Vanity Faire</a><a href='https://macleans.ca/culture/arts/florence-welch-on-feminism-depression-fame/'>Florence Welch on feminism, depression, fame</a><a href='https://witchofpositano.tumblr.com/page/23'>Vali Myers, the Witch of Positano - Tumblr</a>Join Tenth House Rising! <a href='https://www.tenthhouserising.com'>Tenth House Rising</a> offers seasonal learning for those who seek meaning through myth, magick, and memory.

Episode 174: Women in Art & the Occult: Hilma af Klint & Vali Myers 

In episode 173 of the Magick &amp; Alchemy podcast, hosts Kristin Lisenby and Kate Belew investigate the folklore, superstitions, and astrological significance of eclipses. Beginning with the myriad of eclipse mythologies from around the world, they consider the stories of monstrous Apep and heavenly Selene.
