I’m Lux, an art witch and horror writer.

I translate my own inner atmospheres into art. Like Venus in Scorpio, I find beauty in darkness.

I work with astrology, omens, and magic to enchant my own work and to support other writers and artists. You can find my poetic horoscopes at Sky Reading.

🜁🜃🜂🜄

Infinity Mirror, my individual mentoring programme, supports artists and writers to explore their unconscious and psychic processes and to discover that their creativity is a radically renewable resource.

Atmospheres, a seasonal creative crucible, uses astrology and group rituals to generate creative art.

I work as a book witch for individual projects including line editing (guided by my Venus in Virgo), pitching and querying (guided by my Mercury in Leo), and deep structural edits (guided by my Scorpio Rising).

🜁🜃🜂🜄

I have always been ravenous for horror stories because of their capacity for empathy, and the recognition of the darkest impulses that run through us all.

I have written a horror poetry collection, a horror novella, and a critical-creative book about luminol, the chemical that glows blue when it comes into contact with blood.

My newsletter on the pleasures of horror is guided by my favourite tarot card, the Three of Swords.
