Purple Magazine Issue 42: The Magic Issue

Fall/Winter 2024, the Magic issue, with twenty-one covers and Carl Jung on the first of them.

Michel Foucault writes on the limits of the world, Jules Michelet on the heresy of witches, Mark Alizart on the magic wand, Simon Liberati on amulets, talismans and pantacles, Alexandre Samson on fashion and superstition, Emanuele Coccia on the Harry Potter syndrome and Tobie Nathan on love as the trance of worlds without gods. Aleph Molinari interviews David Lynch, Patti Smith and Anohni; Björk writes on sonic magic; Olivier Zahm talks to Ariana Papademetropoulos, Philippe Parreno and Pino Pascali. Steven Klein photographs "Warrior Hearts: A Centaur's Tale," Juergen Teller shoots Isabelle Huppert for Balenciaga, Mark Borthwick shoots Comme des Garçons, Venetia Scott shoots Prada and Katerina Jebb scans the high jewelry.

Leonora Carrington, Wolfgang Tillmans and Tobias Spichtig close out the art pages, and Mitch Horowitz and Federico Campagna supply the occult scholarship.
