The Season of the Witch has arrived


Did you ever go through a wichcraft phase? Weren't these girls in The Craft incredibly sexy? I saw all the movies when I was a teenager, I even bought a beginner's book to cast spells. I stopped trying after spending an evening conjuring the Spirit with friends in a very old house: we all had our index on the foot of a wine glass placed upside-down on a round table, half-giggling, half-scared because the house was dark and whispery, and suddenly the glass goes flying across the room and crashes in a thousand pieces against the wall... It took a friend 12 months to confess he had managed this little trick.

Well, the new Agent Provocateur ad campaign has arrived, steamy and controversial as always, and it comes from old-school witchcraft. Shot by photographer Tim Bret Day, it looks like a Bacchanal right out of a scene of Faust, with girls and boys interwoven in a spectacular tableau vivant Rubens-style in which a red-head witch prepares to sacrifice a virgin in a white dress over a large pentagram.

If you want to celebrate your private little Sabbath with your ring master and a bottle of Earth based wine in the comfort of your own home, you know where to shop the outfit.
