“DIFFERENT PEOPLE make journeys for different reasons. Sometimes they’re forced; sometimes they think they choose.” — In the Dark Places of Wisdom, Peter Kingsley [p.15]
“It Is in All of Us” is an ongoing research project that explores the connection between art and magic, tracing a path through the Sibyls, the Maenads, the ancient feminine cults, and the healing practices of the Iatromantis to help us remember our magical origins. It takes the form of both an inner and outer journey.
Since the beginning of my journey into spirituality and magic, I have always heard a whisper: “It doesn’t come from India… it doesn’t come from Japan… it’s not Celtic… nor Tibetan… nor from an American tribe… it is within all of us.”
Magical tradition has always existed within us. And it will always resurface. No matter how many times they hunt us as witches, it will resurface because it is inherent to being human.
It comes from our hearts, from the stars, from the original sound that resonates in everything: “It is in all of us”.
The research methodology combines reading, walking, automatic drawing, meditation, photography, and binary jumps.
Meditations are carried out by opening the field to the trees and the forest—what I call talking with the trees. These meditations guide the inner journey.
The outer journey has taken me to Italy, the “first part”, from September 2024 to January 2025. The “second part” brings me to Greece, Turkey, and Egypt between February and March 2025.
Some works have emerged from the first part and can be seen in the artworks section.
The process of both parts can be followed on the blog.
