"Hexologist" Hunter Yoder has been painting hex signs for decades now and is an accomplished practitioner of the art. This substantial tome documents the wide range of his work and serves as a kind of catalogue raisonné of his development as a folk artist. Here one will find a treasury of traditional hex designs that Yoder has infused with new life, alongside innovations that he has created by drawing inspiration from what was done before and incorporating thematically and symbolically relevant motifs from a broader perspective. The brief commentaries are interesting to read, but the pictures are worth thousands of unspoken words.“ E Allen
