This article is to honor one of the artists that has helped make Practical Occult possible: Adeline Dally Soothtell.
Before Practical Occult had a website or sold a single pentacle, I was commissioning Adeline for art. I needed art for product info cards and redraws of pentacles and symbols so I could make templates for the products. Each new product line launched came with new art.
Adeline also did the art for the Practical Occult logo. I had some ideas about what I wanted for the composition, and after some back and forth sketches I sent this quick sketch (seen below, don’t judge me)
….and Adeline produced this magnificent logo that I will love forever:
Adeline also did the art for the Cairo Zodiac seen on the plaque below, which was also the cover art for my guide The Secrets of Helios.
If you are looking for a business logo, illustrations for a book (especially of an occult nature), clean redraws of ancient symbols, or more – reach out to Adeline!
