Internet Archaeology Vol 2 - Witchstory, Or 2,355 Years of Mass Hysteria | Parts 1 & 2
There were an estimated 8,000 Wiccans practicing in 1990. By 2008, there were 340,000.
In this 2 book edition of Internet Archaeology, artist & author Cybergems attempts to explain the rise in the number of practicing Wiccans during the 90s and early 2000s by presenting a timeline highlighting the historical intersections between witchcraft, technology, and the Western empire.
The timeline begins in 15,000 BC, ends in 2008, and is accompanied by images of webpages and original collages of elements from the depths of ye olde internet. It is first and foremost a work of art. Secondary to that, it is the work of a hobby historian, re-telling events from history "to her best knowledge."
