The Moon Witch: A Mystical Journey with Anne Stokes and World Gothic Models


Once upon a time, there was a beautiful, modest German woman, distinguished by her beauty, charm, and gentle demeanor. Artistic and exceptionally talented in many ways, she chose to embrace her individuality despite the worldโ€™s expectations.

She found solace and self-expression in the realm of dark romance. Over time, she discovered inspiration and beauty even in the darkest corners of her surroundings. She was not alone, however; she encountered many inspiring individuals who completed her sense of self.

One such individual was a magical fairy with the power to grant wishes, even when people were uncertain of their own desires. Enchanted by her charisma and gentle energy, those she touched became happier and more fulfilled in life.

This fairy possessed extraordinary qualities that few could experience firsthand. She has the ability to recreate images from different worldsโ€”worlds unseen by ordinary eyes. She revealed that numerous extraterrestrial and parallel universes exist, brimming with diversity, dynamics, pure beauty, and new understandings of what lies beyond our perception. This was the British gothic fantasy fairy Anne Stokes.

Embrace the Magic of the Moon Witch

Anne Stokes says:The glowing symbols she has summoned channel the magic of the moon. Wolves are long associated with the moon, and the two large black wolves by her side guard their mistress. Her jewellery and headdress contain the three-moon symbol representing the Triple Goddess. This one is the cover of my 2022 general fantasy art calendar, which is available in many shops and online stores.”

The Moon Witch Statuette 2023-2024

Dream Figures are elite creators of luxury statues who transform fantasy art into limited-edition masterpieces of museum quality. They masterfully blend precision sculpting with mystical aesthetics, breathing life into icons for collectors worldwide. They collaborated with Anne Stokes to create a highly detailed, limited-edition statue based on her Moon Witch illustration. This piece captures the magical atmosphere of the original artwork, where the Moon Witch is portrayed with two imposing black wolves at her side, symbolizing protection and power. The glowing arcane symbols she conjures and the triple-moon motif in her jewelry reflect her connection to the Triple Goddess, an important symbol in pagan and Wiccan beliefs. The figurine has two versions – regular and exclusive.

The statue stands at approximately 43 cm tall and is crafted from a combination of polystone and PU resin, giving it a high level of durability and detail. The design, sculpted by the super-talented David Puertas (the Art Director at Dream Figures), is true to Anne Stokesโ€™ original concept art. The statue is released as a limited edition, with only 200 pieces produced worldwide, each accompanied by an exclusive art print signed by Anne Stokes herself. This collectible became highly sought after and has since sold outโ€‹.

This is what Dream Figures wrote in addition to the sculpture in their product description: “We introduce you the second Dream Figure of our collaboration withย Anne Stokes.ย The artwork (Moon Witch) was painted in a collaboration with the Bulgaria-based organization World Gothic Modelsย where the winner of their contest was the model for this artย Moon Witchย is based on modelย Gatto Nero Katzenkunst’sย entry for the contest which was photographed byย Meik Reinhardt.Thank you for the honorable mention!

A New Chapter in Mystery: Moon Witch Collectibles by
Plamendura Art and Anne Stokes

Building upon the mystical legacy of the Moon Witch, this artistic journey finds its latest expression inย the Moon Witch Collectibles projectย โ€”ย a series of unique fan crafts created with the author Anne Stokes’s exclusive permission. The initiative is deeply intertwined with a creative history that traces back to the World Gothic Models Vampire Goddess 2020 contest. As the first-place winner, Gatto Nero earned the prestigious award of becoming the living muse and reference for the now-iconic 2022 Moon Witch illustration, which serves as the heart of this entire collection.

The Night Whisper Necklace, meticulously handcrafted by Plamendura Art, stands as the very first artifact of this upcoming collection. To cater to the unique essence of every soul, this debut amulet is released in two distinct versions, offering a choice for different aesthetic preferences. It is not merely an accessory; it is a silent story captured in material form, marking the beginning of an even greater magical journey through the realms of shadow and mysticism. For collectors and connoisseurs of the dark aesthetic, these first pieces of the legend are now available at the Bulgaria-based WGM Workshop.

Dreams can come true. They might not always unfold as we initially envisioned, but they often manifest in even more beautiful and unexpected ways. Never stop believing in worthy ideals. We live in a wondrous and often inexplicable world where balance exists in unexpected places. Trust the Universe, look for signs, and listen to your heart.

We are grateful to be part of such themed events! Our commitment to bringing together like-minded individuals to advance and celebrate Gothic culture, art, movement, and style worldwide is unwavering. Regardless of life’s challenges, we will continue to pursue this mission.

It is an honor for us!

With gratitude,
