Présentation

Alexa Brunet's intriguing and poetic photographs plunge us into the mystery of superstitions and recipes for witchcraft. Absurd, tender or cruel, these popular practices combine mixtures of plants, pieces of animals, stones, human fluids and the influence of stars and saints.
Sealed in this contemporary grimoire, they are staged with a tale by the writer Chantal Portillo giving life to a family of witch, mother, daughter and female Grand Duke ancestry, each one depositary of beneficent or evil powers.
Hugues Berton and Christelle Imbert, researchers in ethnology, contextualize these rites and beliefs in our history and testify to the heritage value of these oral traditions.
