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.

“Naomi sweeps you into her world—one minute you are in London, next minute you are in India, next minute you could be in Africa. It’s a whirlwind,” says another member of that group chat, Edward Enninful, the editor in chief of British Vogue, who met her when he was a 19-year-old fashion director for i-D magazine. The day of their first shoot, she invited him to hop on a private jet to Dublin with her. Enninful, who named Campbell a Vogue contributing editor in 2017, describes her as having the mystique of an old Hollywood star such as Greta Garbo or Marlene Dietrich. “Naomi came up at a time when models had to really learn their craft, almost like a studio system,” he says. “Apart from being incredibly ambitious, she is incredibly focused. Naomi loves being a model. When you shoot her, you realize there are only a handful of models who can give what she can. It’s just this magic.”

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. If historical circumstances seem peculiar now, the intent behind the work addresses larger moral claims.
I highlight descriptions of the memorial, drafted for Architectural Record:
