What do a Russian mystic, the artist behind the world's most famous Tarot deck, the twentieth century's most notorious magician and a rocket scientist have in common? More than you might imagine.
Join us for an evening exploring the extraordinary lives, eccentric adventures and enduring legacies of occultists such as Helena Blavatsky, Pamela Colman Smith, Aleister Crowley and Jack Parsons. These remarkable individuals and their ideas helped shape the modern Western esoteric tradition.
The Occult Salon is a relaxed evening of wine, conversation and storytelling. Through fascinating anecdotes, curious historical connections and larger than life personalities, we'll discover that the history of magick is both entertaining and surprising.
Enjoy Canberra's cool climate wines alongside a selection of local cheeses and regional produce while sharing an evening of good company and unforgettable stories.
Whether you're already fascinated by Western esotericism or simply curious about the people behind the legends, no prior knowledge is required.
Hosted by Dee-Ann Darkwood, Tarot reader, academic and lifelong student of Western esotericism. Dee has spent many years exploring the history of the occult through research and secular pagan practice.
Cost: $55, Tickets available through TryBooking, address provided only to those with paid bookings. Maximum number of participants: 7
