I’m Lux, a horror writer and art witch.

I translate my own inner atmospheres into art; like Venus in Scorpio, I find beauty in darkness.

I write poetic horoscopes and essays on the strange contours of the sky at Sky Reading.

I have written a horror poetry collection, a horror novella, and a critical-creative book about luminol, the chemical that glows blue when it comes into contact with blood.

Through Atmospheres, a series of digital potions, I help writers and artists to enchant their work using ritual and magic.

My creative mentoring programme, Infinity Mirror, supports artists and writers to explore their unconscious and psychic processes.

My favourite tarot card is the Three of Swords, a card which guides my work as both a writer and a witch. The Three of Swords marks a sacred zone where wild and magical experiences can happen in a protected space.
