Una Maria Blyth
Ùna Maria Blyth is an occult writer, researcher and practitioner of peatbog folk magic. She lives on a small croft in the Shetland Islands, a sub-arctic archipelago between Scotland and Norway. Her first book, Muses No More: Portraits of Occult Women, is forthcoming with Hexen Press. She has written for a range of publications including Folklore for Resistance, Scavenged Rituals, Sabat Magazine, Doggerland and Reframing Immersive Theatre (published by Palgrave Macmillan). She is a skilled cartomancer too, and leads tarot courses as well as lecturing on the folk magic of the Shetland Isles, with its fascinating melting pot of both Celtic and Nordic influences. A former member of ritual theatre and film company FoolishPeople, Ùna is particularly interested in queer, feminist explorations of magical history, as well as the fine line between magic and madness.
