Hey! First of all, I absolutely love your work. It's so provocative and I'm a huge fan of your clear inspiration from history and your reinterpretation/modernization. Absolute 10/10 a feast for the eyes. I love love love active participation in history/religion/folklore through art so much, and you're one of the artist I've seen it pull off best. Instant love and frankly a great inspiration (like for real, this kicked me back into working on my little medieval west European manuscript project).

I do have a question! I am not Jewish myself and I'd love to buy something at your shop. I also understand many of the imagery and items you're selling are deeply grounded in your faith/culture and I absolutely do not want to buy something that is not for me! Ergo, which items are you OK with selling to a goy (I presume the zines are) and which should I stay away from? (sidenote: I'm not about to use anything for spiritual purposes, unless my aforementioned obsession with history/material culture/art counts).

♥️ I hope you're having a great day!

thank you so much for this sweet message! really appreciate hearing that my work has inspired you ♥️

you’ve inspired me to make a FAQ page, as i get this kind of question fairly regularly (it’s a great question!) & i can never remember exactly where i’ve answered it. i’ve written in more length on that page, but the short version is:

i’m absolutely cool with non-Jewish folks buying almost anything from me, with the rare exceptions being things like the “GOTH JEW” shirt (which literally refers to the person wearing it as a Jew) or any Judaica bought for the purpose of using it in a non-Jewish/appropriated religious or spiritual practice, which i could see potentially happening with something like a pocket golem - i do see that as different than appreciating the golems as cultural art, which i’m happy for all kinds of folks to do!
