The earliest evidence of tattoo art dates from 5000 BCE. In fact, Charles Darwin wrote that there was no country in the world that did not practice tattooing or some other form of permanent body decoration.
Apo Whang-Od, from the town of Buscalan in the Kalinga province of the Philippines, has been practicing the art of tattooing since she was a teenager.
Philip Berg, who died Monday at the age of either 82 or 84, became rich and famous for attracting Hollywood celebrities and a lot of other people, Gentiles and Jews, to his patented brand of pop Kabbalah. He disclosed something of his technique in a New York courtroom in 1996, testifying at a civil trial for plagiarizing the work of an orthodox kabbalist.
After mentioning the sigils that were created in workshops the week before, the class decided that it was good idea to focus on something that could bring a sense of renewal when facing difficult times and situations.
In 1881, a writer in the Saturday Review called tattooing 'an art without a history.' 'No-one', it went on, 'has made it the business of his life to study the development of tattooing.' For all of human history, we have made permanent marks on our skin - for multifarious, fascinating, reasons. The oldest preserved tattooed skin that survives is European: Ötzi, the famous 'Iceman' mummy, whose body is covered in small tattoo marks, allows us a brief glimpse into the pre-history of the practice. Since then, people in every corner of the world have decided to tattoo themselves, and countless cultures have performed this ancient artistic practice. But for the most part, these fascinating histories remain stubbornly untold - glorious characters, unbelievable truths and the lives of people from 5000 BCE to the present day have been hidden on the skin, under layers of clothing, and under layers of history. With access to a wealth of new and unreported material, this book will roll up its sleeves and reveal the artwork hidden beneath them. In Painted People, Dr Matt Lodder, one of the world's foremost experts in tattooing will reveal what tattoos - and the people who wore them - tell us about a changing world. Painted People is a beguiling and intimate look at this untold history of humanity. | Author: Matt Lodder | Publisher: William Collins | Publication Date: May 09, 2023 | Number of Pages: 352 pages | Language: English | Binding: Hardcover | ISBN-10: 000840206X | ISBN-13: 9780008402068

By: Paul Shaw | February 9, 2010 — A year ago, in an Eye magazine feature entitled “Cult of the Squiggly,” Steven Heller complained about the overabundance of embellishment in design “spiraling out of control.” He has now jumped on the bandwagon as the co-author with Gail Anderson of New Ornamental Type: Decorative Lettering in the Digital Age (New York: Thames & Hudson, 2010).

I have recreated "Aradia, or the Gospel of the Witches" by Charles Godfrey Leland for PDF download. This widely debated book can be yours to download. Aradia is a book of folklore considered a vital foundation upon which the beliefs and practices of modern witchcraft and Wicca practices are understood and performed. An important part of the literary canon of witchcraft, Aradia - colloquially termed 'the Gospel of the Witches' - is a story regarding the witches living in Italy during the 17th century. Charles Godfrey Leland obtained, arranged and translated the original scripts to modern English; the result is a coherent narrative which is authentic, readable and uncompromising, with none of the stark details of Strega witchcraft omitted or softened. Aradia is a story unorthodox and anti-establishment in tone, detailing the exploits of witches who seek to undermine oppressive landowners and other powerful interests portrayed as antagonistic. The aristocracy are frequently the targets of witches, who are deeply ritualistic and nominally aligned to the lower classes in the economic order. Allusions to the Dianic goddesses and the many traditions which comprise witchcraft are frequent. Charles Godfrey Leland was a folklorist who spent decades in study of pagan texts. His extensive travels throughout Europe yielded several important texts lost to obscurity, which he reintroduced to a wider modern audience. Leland's works brought new interest to witchcraft and other folk traditions and inspired a multitude of authors and practitioners. To this day, Leland's works are widely read by modern enthusiasts of Wicca.
