Anaar
Anaar, student of Victor Anderson, describes the Feri Tradition from an artist's’ perspective. Defining the various names used for the triplicity of Self, Anaar articulates how an individual's creativity and art melds with one’s own Godself. “God is Self, Self is God, and God is a person like Myself.” She describes “a white wand witch is a bard of the coven, the artist witch.” And so, with exercises and meditations, she instructs us in how to connect with the Fey.

Dykstra, Dirk
Robert Dirk Dykstra was the oldest of twin boys born October 3, 1953 at Fort Benning, Georgia and son of pulp fiction author Fritzen Ravenswood. In the mid-70s, Dykstra was involved in the formative years of ‘Circle,’ a nature-based spiritual community founded by Selena Fox and Jim Alan and it was here that the first illustrations can be found in published works. Dirk Dykstra became well known in the Pagan community for his depictions of people in the craft as well as simple borders and designs used in publications such as those found in the first edition of Circle Guide to Wicca and Pagan Resources (1979), the periodical The Unicorn of The Rowan Tree Church, and many other works. Dirk Dykstra would succumb to AIDS on February 1, 1993, in San Diego, California.
The print contains a plethora of imagery of Wiccan practices and paraphernalia. On the table is a ’Book of Shadows’ open to an ’Invocation to the Horned One’ as well as the standard bell and candle familiarly associated with Witchcraft. On the floor is tarot deck with ’The Sun’ partially pulled out and the "Death" card completely removed, perhaps an indication of his own transformation and new beginnings as an artist. The censer is burning with a plume of smoke rising to the invoked Goddess with her symbols of quarter moon and rose, hence the title ’Moonrose’. The man is holding another book in his hand, which was just used to invoke the Goddess. Additional items on the table are herbs, a mortar and pestle, books on Wicca and Narnia. On a desk in the background are ’Works of J.R.R. Tolkien,’ ’The Hobbit,’ ’The Magus,’ and on the opposite end ’Circle’ which is a nod to the group he was affiliated with, Circle Sanctuary. The print includes numerous additional symbols.
