Digital Poems of Ritual Magick
Conceived and Created by
Lila Moore
Artist Statement
Digital Poems of Ritual Magick reflect an emerging 21st century movement of feminist witchcraft that arises from women's dark and silent, ancient and deep, isolated existence. It represents a radical aesthetic stance, social and cultural resistance to types of oppression we are so accustomed to that we hardly recognise them.
Digital poetry of ritual-magick is to speak the magickal thought-forms, to survive birthing them through our bodies and minds although we weren't meant to outlast.

SKULL
By Lila Moore
In 1984, the text of Skull was written to serve as a soundtrack for a live multimedia performance named Radiated Water by Lila Moore. Today, the exact text is a part of a contemporary digital poem of ritual magick. These poems appear randomly, almost like automatic writing, and there can be multiple versions of them.
Analogue Summer 2025
Analogue Summer _ I wish
By Lila Moore
Oh, how I have wished for an analogue summer.
A summer attuned to the rhythms of the pre-digital era, when time was still linear and passed slowly. When magick floated on the waves—real and tangible.
Is it possible to play back time? Like with the old VHS tapes, when one could see the ribbon and the images running backward.
The very concept of time was different before hyper-connectivity. And although we gained access to a new world, our brains seemed to be rewired to match the systems we now use to make contact.
The idea of sight changed as well—first with digital images, then with HD. Soon, nobody will remember what the world truly looks like without lenses and filters, or what it feels like to live in the mindset of analogue time.
Perhaps it is the task of artists to conjure spaces and moments attuned to the rhythms of nature—ever present yet slipping through our grasp like time itself.
