Interview: The Power of a Hex - In Conversation with Oliver Satyr of Faun

Pagan folk band Faun will release their brand-new album ‘Hex’ on September 5th via Pagan Folk Records. This twelfth studio album by Faun is about witches, female healers and wise women. Far away from the cliché of the evil fairytale witch, the German ensemble aim to highlight the various aspects of female magic in different cultures and the legitimate question why we still fear the evil witches instead of the people who burned them. The album title Hex is derived from “Hexe” German: witch / ahd. ‘Hagazussa’ (= the one who walks between the worlds). As boundary pushing as ever, Faun’s pagan folk sound continues to evolve in interesting ways and through sheer determination, they make it more accessible than ever.
