Witches and Wizards Guided Walk: Real Magic in London
A Guided Walk with Delianne Forget
This walking tour if for everyone who knows a little (or a lot) about modern paganism and British occultism, and wants to discover the lairs of ritual, meetings, and even the houses. From Wicca's Gerald Gardner to the Victorian ceremonialists of the Golden Dawn, London was the hub of activity. Bloomsbury and Fitzrovia were places where, over the centuries, the esoteric orders have flourishedbehind closed doors, and where secrets were whispered in quiet corners of public places - including the British Library Reading room. Led by a Blue-Badge guide who is also a Wiccan herself, this guided walk will make you see London in a new light entirely. Also runs Wed 7 Sept. Meets at Treadwell's, lasts 2 hours.
Price: £8.00 in advance
Time: 6.50 for a 7.00 start

Paula Dempsey
Know the main characters of British magic and want more quirky tales about their London adventures? This walk's for you. Rosicrucians, OTO, Thelema, Aleister Crowley, Eliphas Levi, John Dee, the Golden Dawn, Freemasons, and Harry Price: all were active in London, and you now visit places of their incense-fogged sitting rooms, secret temple chambers, invocations, imprecations, candle-lit conjurations. Guide Paula Dempsey is the author of The Investigator's Guide to Occult London (2011), and a longstanding friend of Treadwell's.

26 August 11 (Friday)
Dark Working Sorcerers: Illusion and the Occult
The London Magician
Magic, as in occult science, as opposed to dodgy card trick, has been around for quite a while. Shamans, alchemists, cunning men and women, fortune tellers and mystic types have all plied their trades for as long as history's been taking notes. Some were just out to make a living, others to show that there's more to the world, and to ourselves, than meets the eye. Tonight's performer/lecturer is certainly not saying that the whole thing's a con, but if suspect techniques were sometimes used to turn lead to gold, manifest spirits, control men's minds and otherwise convince the general public that magic was real, then they might have looked something like this…
Feats will be performed, spirits conjured, minds read. You will meet John Dee, Michael Scott, Aleister Crowley, Roger Bacon and Rabbi Lowe. From the man who brought you the runaway sellout show, 'Through a Glass Darkly.'

Great Goddess Inanna: A Night of Her Stories
June Peters, Storyteller
One of the most significant ancient narratives in modern paganism is the Descent of Inanna, which in various forms lives and breathes in modern esoteric spiritualities. Modern audiences are enchanted by the stories in which the Mesopotamian goddess descends to the Underworld, while in other stories she quests for magic, confronts death, seduces her lover, and praises her own sexuality. Tonight, renowned storyteller June Peters recounts her favourite Inanna myths -- centring on the iconic Descent. June is a vivacious, captivating performer who brings the gut-wrenching and humorous myths to life: she received a thundering ovation for her last Inanna performance at Treadwel's.

Red Magic: the Mystical & Occult Behind the Iron Curtain
Andrew Vee
In the Soviet Union, over the decades of communism, extensive research was done into essentially occult subjects and ideas. While the Russian Cosmists openly expressed hermetic views, experiments and initiatives tracked and studied things which in the West are classed as esoteric or occult. In this society, however, many studies were taken in a scientific spirit of such things as: astrology, telepathy, remote viewing, and others. Tonight's speaker opens up endeavours which are, to this day, virtually unknown in the West, including sources that has never been translated out of Russian. A native Russian-speaker who has encountered such projects first-hand, he is uniquely positioned to bring this material to a Western audience.

London's Lost Rivers: A Secret History
Tom Bolton
When people think of London's river, the vast thoroughfare of the Thames immediately springs to mind. But this ancient city was built around other rivers too - and traces of these still remain for those who know where to look. In Celtic Iron Age religion, every river had a tutelary goddess, so this talk opens up a new dimension of London - her spirits of place. Tom Bolton explores five lost rivers, combining their history (and demise) with fascinating anecdotes. He brings alive the people and events surrounding each location and the story of each river's origins and decline. This one is for everyone who loves the hidden side of the magical place that is London. Under our feet, away from the omnipresent Thames, a secret network of underground rivers snakes beneath the capital. The rivers predate the city and its people. The rivers may be buried, but they still flow underground. In some places they can be heard, or even seen. By rediscovering them, and tracing their courses, the way we see London is transformed. Using the visual and aural clues left in the streetscape, we can burrow down through layers of London history to river level, revealing the city as it once was. Tom Bolton is a researcher and writer, the author of London's Lost Rivers: A Walker's Guide: a series of ten walks tracing these hidden routes across London published in September 2011 by Strange Attractor press. Price: £7.00

Interview with a Chaos Magician: Mark Smith in Conversation
Tonight Christina Oakley Harrington interviews Mark Smith, a longstanding independent chaos magician. Influenced deeply by the pioneers of the movement (Pete Carroll and others), Mark has a laser-like focus on results - actual, meaningful change, and the innovatiive ways of creating shifts that make change occur. He uses studies in the psychology of human behaviour -- with qualifications in NLP and clinical hypnosis -- bringing these to his chaos magic in a direct, no-nonsense way. Tonight he'll be talking about how he was drawn to chaos magic, how he developed in it, what he has used it for, how he sees magic, and what his practice today consists in. Mark is an engaging and down-to-earth magician. He is also a professional rock drummer and a avid gym addict. And a clinical hypnotist specialising in difficult cases.

Pictures from the Book of Sleep : Alchemical imagery in dreams
Paul Cowlan
'Individuals still experience the revelations and visions that were so instrumental in the creation and development of alchemy, and understand them in terms similar to those of the ancient and medieval alchemists.' (Jeffrey Raff) Any student of dreams is, in effect, a researcher into their own vibrant, but largely hidden personal language, a geographer of inner landscapes; and it is certainly true, as Jeffrey Raff states, that alchemical imagery still occurs frequently in contemporary dreams; regardless of whether or not the dreamer is acquainted with alchemy. In this illustrated talk Paul will be presenting selected dream symbols and exploring them from an alchemical viewpoint. Having been actively engaged with his own dreams for more than forty years, and with alchemy as a way of life for nearly thirty, he speaks from personal experience, and will welcome any questions and personal contributions from the audience.

> La figura della fata innegabilmente affonda le sue radici nel medioevo, le cui letterature ce ne restituiscono l'immagine riflessa, talora nitida, talora evanescente come inevitabilmente accade quando la ricezione è subordinata alla presenza di un medium - quello artistico-letterario, appunto - a cui in questo caso è a sua volta sovrapposto un ulteriore filtro, quello culturale indotto dalla spessa coltre di secoli attraverso cui osserviamo queste entità fragili e potenti, dalle indubbie ascendenze surnaturali.
> Come sovente accade quando i filtri si sommano e si sovrappongono, anche i fenomeni di rifrazione si moltiplicano, offrendo al nostro sguardo silhouettes che si lasciano intuire sfaccettate e poliedriche, ma di cui non di rado ci è dato cogliere solo pochi lati, vaghi contorni, quelli funzionali al progetto narrativo in cui sono inserite, frequentemente già sottoposti al vaglio e/o alle reinterpretazioni dell'ideologia dominante.
> Duttile, versatile, eclettico, polimorfo: tale ci appare il personaggio della fata nella letteratura, e prima ancora nel pensiero, medievale. Tanto da rendere difficile stabilirne una fisionomia univocamente determinata. Morgana è sicuramente una fata, nel senso che oggi attribuiamo al termine. Così pure Melusina - e le sue numerose sodali - anche se alcuni aspetti della sua natura fatata possono turbare le rigide tassonomie della nostra contemporaneitÃ. Ma Isotta? Per certo è una donna, in quanto soggetta alla morte, però possiede poteri taumaturgici, e la madre sa confezionare pozioni di provata efficacia. E Sibilla? Ella stessa conferma al Meschino di non essere fata, eppure è signora di un mondo fatato. E le streghe della val di Fassa? Seguaci della donna del bon zogo, in nulla credono di offendere il Credo cristiano e sono fermamente convinte di operare in favore della fertilità della terra e della prosperità della comunità ...
> È questo che si propone il nostro convegno: investigare gli aspetti meno noti di questa figura profondamente ambivalente capace di giungere tale, fra alterne vicende, ben oltre i confini dell'era moderna, attraverso gli strumenti di una ricerca interdisciplinare che sappia mettere a frutto gli insegnamenti dell'antropologia, della filologia, dell'analisi storica e letteraria, dell'iconografia.
