The Joy of Hex
Welcome to the spring/summer edition of the Joy of Hex; the magazine that brings the European witch squarely into the fifteenth century.
We have some great features and articles for you this season, including…
To the Point
Fashion guru Dearlu Delsania looks at the hot new trend in pointy hats to come out of Italy. Are moons and stars really the new cobweb? Is the classic hat really dead? Our consumer panel gives its verdict.
Eye of Newt
Ten easy potions to help you gain the perfect warty skin in time for the summer solstice. Follow our simple recipes and you're guaranteed to bewitch.
Road test
Our aviation correspondent, Mathew Lehrs, road tests this year's crop of broomsticks; including the new sports utility broom from Germany. Will the new sixteen bristle, twin-turbo bushel design revolutionise the way we fly? Or will it be swept away by its English competitor, the classic Besom XJk.
Witches Brew
Our features editor, Glynis Simmons, gets chatting over a cup up tea with the leader of a new breed of Scandinavian witch. The group, based in Oslo, advocates a return to the ancient rites of dancing naked during the sabbat. Is this controversial move a welcome revival of forgotten customs or a misguided attempt to contract pneumonia?
Regulars
Spellbound: we review this summer's blockbuster spell books.
Prize crossword puzzle: win a year's supply of Mistress Pothcary's new and improved Tail of Rat.
Coven Call-outs: want to meet witches in your area? Take out an ad in our coven call-out.
Particles of parchment: letters to the editor.
