Naomi Cormack
Naomi is a close friend of mine who lives in Devon. Her art is truly inspiring and each piece she completes emanates pure magic, her paintbrush is her wand! Naomi is the main illustrator of my book and she designed the front cover, I am now officially 'The Beltane Witch' in her latest series of paintings which are all amazing. Naomi has designed the Old Ways oracle which is now my favourite oracle, each card is so beautifully painted and really encompass the sacred magic of our Old Ways. You can view her artwork on her glorious website - nomeart.com, enjoy my lovelies you are in for a treat!
This painting was inspired by an eve under the Blood Moon at St Nectan's Glen. I invited a group of friends to join me at my watery temple in the woods to perform magic for my Cauldron of Changes spell and Naomi painted this in the weeks that followed. It is a depiction of me and my Cauldron and all the spirits that she felt were working with us on this magical eve. Naomi gifted me this painting and I truly treasure it, she is a remarkable artist.
