The Creative Occult: Upon Hecate's Altar
The daughters of Hecate are stargazers and sibyls. They are curious ghosts, consuming the night until their eyes sparkle and their words become moon-shaped. Hecate’s language is ancient, lunar and serpentine, yet her children are fluent in these mysteries. They weave Hecate’s hymns into their dreams, rituals, and creative quests, crafting a living altar for the Mother of Witches.
Upon Hecate’s altar, we place the voces magicae…
Starting on October 30th, join Pointy Hat Press co-founders Caitlyn Barone and Kristin Lisenby for a three-week art workshop and ritual in intuitive art-making and creative mediumship. Cloaked in the mysteries of the Samhain season, participants will gather around the virtual candle for a collective psychic experiment, using art as a doorway into the creative unconscious and crafting art altars for Hecate, the Mother of Witches.
This workshop explores mythical and occult symbolism, mediumistic art-making methods, and triplicity in magick and artistic composition. Over three weeks, our coven will create mixed-media triptychs (tri-formed altar pieces) informed by the Hecatean language shaping our personal lives and our collective experience together.
This series invites artists of all levels to divine with their unconscious material through collective and spontaneous art-making methods. No experience is needed, just a blank page, a curious heart, and a desire to venture beyond the physical veil.

No! This program is intended to support any schedule. Although we’d love to have you join the live weekly workshops, you can also move at your own pace by watching the recordings.

DO I HAVE ACCESS TO ALL MATERIALS FOREVER?
The Slack Channel will end two weeks after our final workshop, but the exercises, article, and downloadable recordings are yours to keep.
