This photograph, used in the book Eight Sabbats for Witches, demonstrates a ritual position called the "Osiris pose". The model, Janet Farrar, became a public face for Wicca due in part to her modelling for illustrations such as this used in books about Wicca.

The image Image:Janet Farrar in Osiris pose.jpg is being linked here; though the picture is copyrighted and unlicensed for Wikipedia's use, I (Jkelly 16:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)) feel it is covered by fair use because:

it is a significant photo of a famous individual;
it is of much lower resolution than the original (copies made from it will be of very inferior quality)
the photo is only being used for informational purposes.
Its inclusion in the article adds significantly to the article because it shows the subject of this article and their work in as a model for photography for Wiccan publications in the article Janet Farrar in a manner significant to the general public. Jkelly 16:50, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
