Lena Schattenherz Heide-Brennand Author • Scholar of the Occult • Artist of the Threshold Lena Schattenherz Heide-Brennand, a Norwegian author, esoteric researcher, and multidisciplinary artist, offers a unique perspective that weaves together the threads of history, folklore, ritual magic, and the haunting beauty of the unseen world. Her background in comparative literature, ancient religions, and performance arts has led her to explore the spaces where academic rigour meets lived mystical experience, a journey that is sure to intrigue you. She is the author of numerous books, including The Greek Magical Papyri — the first full-length Norwegian translation and reconstruction of spells from the PGM in English — as well as Necromancy: A Global History of the Dead in Ritual, Religion, and Literature, a sweeping, cross-cultural study of spirit work from the Bronze Age to modern cinema. She has also authored the successful "Mythical Creatures in Scandinavian Folklore" and a dark, gothic poetic adaptation of Alice in Wonderland, both available on Amazon. Her poetry collections, such as The Opium Psalms, and her gothic adaptations of classic literature, showcase her ability to captivate with her transformation of the melancholic, erotic, and arcane into lyrical form. Lena lectures widely on mythology, magic, death, and folklore, with appearances for institutions such as The Last Tuesday Society (UK) and various cultural festivals across Europe. Under her creative moniker SiberWytch, she creates music, visual art, and spellwork rooted in the wild intersections of mythology, mysticism, and personal ancestry. Her work is a testament to her decades of private magical practice, ancestral traditions from the Nordic world, and a deep commitment to reclaiming the voices of witches, outcasts, and otherworldly beings. Lena's ability to write and speak several languages, including English, Norwegian, Old Norse, Spanish and German, and her writing that often bridges scholarly commentary with practical applications for modern seekers, is truly inspiring. In everything she creates, from scholarly translations to visionary grimoire work, Lena Heide-Brennand is a guide across the veil — a chronicler of shadowed histories, and a fierce advocate for the return of enchantment.
