Incantation: Volume 3 - Sphere: A Quest: A la recherche du fil perdu

In 1795 the great German thinker Johann Wolfgang von Goethe published a fairytale The Green Snake and the Lily in a magazine named Die Horen created by his contemporary Johann Christoph Friedrich von Schiller. Such tales are also embedded in the far ancestral past in ancient Egyptian tales transcribed by W. M. Flinders Petrie in 1899. For the storyteller Genie Poretzky-Lee this knowledge underpins awareness of an ancient literary genre validating a tradition of short poetic stories.The INCANTATION publications facilitate an exploration of this unusual form of writing in a renewed and inspired way alongside Genies photographic illustrations.Volume 3: In Japan yorishiro are objects capable of attracting spirits.And so to Spheres . . .Why Sphere?

The teller Genie Poretzky-Lee calls upon images and words engaging page by page with the magical nature of an ancient practice used by our ancestors to orally transmit some of their observations perceived in the supernatural world surrounding them.
