This editorial ‘Pagan Something’ on Flamboyant Magazine is a discovery via Vogue Italia’s Talents focus on photographer Marco D’Amico and stylist Italo Pantano.
Pantano styled ‘Pagan Something’ for Flamboyant, lensed by photographer Emanuele Savoia. The editorial begins with a quote by Theda Kenyon, author of ‘Witches Still Live’: The blackest chapter in the history of Witchcraft lies not in the malevolence of Witches but in the deliberate, gloating cruelty of their prosecutors.
You might think that the entire subject of Witchcraft is long behind us, but this is not so. As theologians use archaeology, cultural anthropology and a host of new discoveries about early Christians to examine the critical question ‘Is God male?’, theologians like Sister Elizabeth A. Johnson, a Fordham University professor, are under attack.
American bishops have issued a 21-page critique governing the future of theological study in the United States, writes the NYTimes.

Sonia Pinto plays the role of Mrunal Thakur who traveled to Mumbai to rescue her sister Preeti, played by Riya Sisodiya.

Swiss architect Peter Zumthor and the late French-born artist Louise Bourgeoise collaborated in the hauntingly beautiful and poetic Steilneset Memorial in Vardø, Norway, an arresting memorial to 91 people, 77 women and 14 men, who were burned at the stake here in the 17th century for the crime of witchcraft.
Sturla J. Stalsett, general secretary of the Vardø Church City Mission, pointed out during the opening ceremonies presided over by Her Majesty Queen Sonja of Norway, that the memorial is meant to remind us of the ongoing danger of collectively creating scapegoats.
