About the Book

Hunter Yoder', AKA Frank Blank's descent into the twilight world of the Deitsch Heathen Hexology. A magical approach to the craft of painting Hex Signs. Contains 41 illustrations. A revealing look into today's Pennsylvania Deitsch Magical community. Documents his examination of all Shamanic traditions in a search that ended in Berks County, PA his place of origin, but continues in an unbroken chain from his prehistoric Germanic tribal roots in Eurasia to his spiritual homeland in Pennsylvania. Discussion includes Hexology in all its symbolic manifestations, Hexerei, Seidhr, Appalachian Shamanic practices, and Entheogens of the Pennsilfaanisch Deitsch. Documents events from July 2005 through early 2008. This 2nd Edition has been edited and revised and is in a new smaller format, 6"x9"
About the Author: The most prolific and outspoken artist of a modern school of "hexologists" is Hunter Yoder, owner and operator of the Hex Factory in Philadelphia. Born and raised in Berks County, Hunter was inspired by local artistic traditions, and even painted a barn on his father's property near Virginville. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Hunter embraces the title of "Hexologist," and has sought to reinvent the mythology of the modern hex sign by incorporating aspects of his interest in ancient pre-Christian ritual culture. Hunter's work combines plant geometry, runic inscriptions, and several designs which are an homage to the work of Lee Gandee. Like Gandee, Hunter experiments with the use of art for shamanic and magical purposes, believing that his work is an extension of his spiritual path. Identifying himself religiously as a Heathen, Hunter blends traditional motifs with arcane occult emblems in the interest of reviving ancient Germanic religion. While for many people in Pennsylvania, this particular approach remains highly controversial, especially because of the historical abuse of such interest in Germanic culture during the second World War, Hunter aims to break down such taboos in an effort to take his art in an entirely different direction, blending old and new mythology. Despite these obstacles in belief, tradition, and culture, it is undeniable that Hunter's work is visually stunning, and part of the spectrum of modern applications of continued interest in Pennsylvania Dutch culture in the United States. "Hex Signs, Myth and Meaning in Pennsylvania Dutch Barn Stars," by Patrick Donmoyer, a publication of the Pennsylvania German Cultural Heritage Center at Kutztown University, 2013
