INCANTATION

In 1795 the great German thinker, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, published a fairytale, &lsquo,The Green Snake and the Lily&rsquo,, 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 Genie&rsquo,s photographic illustrations. Volume 1
