Join prolific author and artist Lucy H. Pearce and her creative guests - writers, artists, creatrixes - for profound and practical conversations about what creative magic means to us. We'll reflect on what, how and why we create, what drives us...and what stops us in our tracks. We share honestly how we find the time and energy to make magic in the midst of life's challenges and why we keep on saying yes to our creativity. Lucy is known for giving real and raw interviews, and now she shares this form of deep dive conversation with many of her favourite creative people. The first season of Creative Magic is the Wild Initiations series, featuring her immensely popular intimate conversation series recorded to celebrate the launch of her 12th book Crow Moon: reclaiming the wisdom of the dark woods... She will also be joined by some new guests diving into the themes of wild nature, symbols, initiation and creative magic. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Her visual world is an umber and madder-infused chapel of misfits and magicians, story-rich and alchemical. Her paintings, which feel both ancient and familiar at once, have been exhibited and published internationally. In 2018 she was a finalist in the 'Best Artist' category of the World Fantasy awards. Rima has a long-held fascination with the idea of the liminal - that which lies at the edge of culture and society as well as the literal boundaries between one place and another, both metaphorical and real - and with the power of art that comes from that place. Her work is a kind of “Iconography of the Otherworld”. She lives in the south of England.
