The Digital Poems of Ritual-Magick Collection

Artist statement by Dr Lila Moore (2018)

Digital Poems of Ritual Magick reflect an emerging 21st-century movement of feminist witchcraft that arises from women's dark and silent, ancient and deep, isolated existence.

It represents a radical aesthetic stance and social and cultural resistance to types of oppression we are so accustomed to that we hardly recognise them.

Digital poetry of ritual-magick is to speak the magical thought-forms, to survive birthing them through our bodies and minds although we weren't meant to outlast.

In 1984, the text of Skull was written to serve as a soundtrack for a live multimedia performance named Radiated Water by Lila Moore. Today, the exact text is a part of a contemporary digital poem of ritual magick. These poems appear randomly, almost like automatic writing, and there can be multiple versions of them.
