Emma Kathryn is a witch and Obeah woman from Nottinghamshire. She has been involved with magick and witchcraft for over twenty years and runs an Obeah mentorship programme, passing on her knowledge of this mystery shrouded practice in the hope of keeping the tradition alive.

She is particularly passionate about sharing her knowledge with those who might have links to or an interest with the craft but have struggled to overcome the many obstacles that stand in their way, and this is a thread that weaves through much of her work, including her writing. She is an author of several books, including Reclaiming Ourselves and Reclaiming Food (Ritona), titles that seek to empower people to begin on the journey of rediscovering their own power and self agency.

In Witch Life (Llewellyn Worldwide), Emma brings attention to the power of getting practical with witchcraft in a way that allows people to choose and adapt workings that suit their own lifestyles, and she often describes it as a witches boot up the bottom to get motivated. In her latest book, Season Songs: Rediscovering Magic in the Cycles of Nature (Llewellyn Worldwide) Emma aims to inspire an animistic revolution as a way to inspire and breath fresh life into our own lived and magickal experiences.

He has delivered lectures and workshops internationally, with a focus on Left Hand Path occultism and religious heterodoxy, and has served as both a visiting professor and a guest lecturer at various universities.

He has been a guest on a multitude of podcasts and has been the subject of various articles and documentaries, many of which relate to his life, his art, and his expertise and experience in the realm of the occult and alternative spirituality.
