Since 2011, the Doreen Valiente Foundation has been committed to protect, preserve, study and curate Doreen Valiente’s collection of magical artefacts. After the successful exhibition “Where Witchcraft Lives” displayed in 2016 at Preston Manor (Brighton and Hove Museums), our new Doreen Valiente Collection Series features a series of talks dedicated to different topics and categories of objects from our collection. This fourth talk “Witches’ Sparkles” is dedicated to Doreen Valiente’s most famous jewels, amulets and talismans. What might look like simple pieces of bijoux to a non-expert eye, will reveal the symbology belonging to modern Wiccan and Pagan practice, mirroring the different traditions which characterised Doreen’s path in Witchcraft.
