Folk Witch

‘The Medieval Revival of the 70s & World Building today”: This keynote traces how California’s Renaissance markets emerged from the countercultural, left-wing political movements of the 1970s. It examines the Medieval Revival as protest, play, and utopian experiment — and follows its transformation into today’s mythopoetic world. A journey through folklore, politics, and imagination, it reveals why invented pasts still shape how we dream of alternative futures.

Andreas Hirsch aka Alatar Morinehtar aka @the_green_jedi was born in the sign of Scorpio ruled by Pluto the great transformer during a harsh snowstorm and raised in the woodlands and rolling hills of Franconia.

He studied Communication Design in Augsburg, Germany and Fine Art in Caldas da Rainha, Portugal. 

Fate brought him to California, US where he worked as an Concept Artist on Apple’s illusion glasses and other secret projects.

Since 2019, he primarily works as an independent artist in Munich. He is part of several artists‘ collectives and secret societies. He is the publisher of the zine “Modern Witchcraft”.

For him the act of artistic creation is a conscious and intentional manifestation of will and imagination. This creates energy that can change reality. 

His latest body of work “Folk Witch” is a series of relief prints that revolve around the imagery of traditional witchcraft and folklore.
