This album is inspired by the oracle card deck "W.I.T.C.H. - Woman In Total Control of Herself" which was first launched on Kickstarter and then found an opportunity to be made available to a larger audience by Duirwaigh Studios and US Games.
The card deck can be obtained through all major channels including Amazon.
At first it was only anticipated as a small EP by Duirwaigh Studios' co-owner and art director Silas Toball for Kickstarter patreons but soon the project became more involved as Eva, his sister joined (Tyrolena harp, nay and vocals) and also brought the magic of her band mates from Candaya, Katharina Mlitz-Hussain (Violin, Viola) and Gemma Wagner (Vocals) and guest vocalist Lilli Eckmann to contribute.
It is not really meant to be a cohesive flow of music but rather a treasure chest of divers inspirations. Influences from Norse mythology to the middle east, from dreamy harp to EDM we are conjuring up a witch's cauldron of magic!
