We are so very happy to announce Geraldine Hudson will be with us in February!

If you take a look at our website you may find early details of the two remaining speakers soon to be officially announced! 😉✨

Geraldine Hudson is an Interdisciplinary Artist, Curator and Folk Witch

As an artist/curator Geraldine's background lies in socially engaged art-therapy and grass
roots activism. Alongside which she spent many years producing experimental music/art
events, before deciding to pursue her own art practice whilst she was living in Berlin and
later Stockholm.
She co-founded and produces the seminar series Conjuring Creativity:
Art & The Esoteric (an artist, practitioner and scholar event) and has more recently
founded a series of workshops under MARE (A nomadic art school) examining the
entanglements of Magic/k, Art & Ecology, in theory and practice.
Within her own art practice she enacts rites, actions and pilgrimages which then feed back
into the exhibited work. Her many layered durational pieces often involve interactive
embodied site based journeying and wild clay meditation workshops, resulting in acts of
collaborative authoring and intentional world building.
By choosing to engage in an art making which is often cyclical, mystical or site specific her
work embodies a lifelong correspondence with genius loci, cosmological temporalities and
magick. With an ongoing enquiry into animistic/magical reconciliation as means of other
than capitalist belonging. Working with materials both permanent and ephemeral, such as
foraged clay, hair, dirt, ash and plant matter.
Geraldine's work is held in private collections and she exhibits variously throughout
Europe, alongside presenting at conferences on the relationship between contemporary
art, ritual and magickal practices.
She holds a B.A (hons) In Ceramics, an M.A in Printmaking and has recently completed
the MFA Fine Art programme at Goldsmiths UOL.
Hierarchies of Magick and the Occulted Body
This talk will present and expand upon some of Geraldine's research into embodied
practice and phenomenology. Positioning the body as magickal site, enabling a
manifestation of symbiotic autonomy when in communion with the other than human.

Hope to see lots of you there, and you have your tickets and b&b’s booked!

Live For The Living, Live For The Dead: An Exploration of Saint Magick

Join Robert Peter for a practical workshop exploring the rich and living tradition of saint magick, where devotion, folk magic, and lived spiritual experience come together. Drawing from Catholic tradition, folk practices, and contemporary occultism, this workshop explores how saints can become active allies in your magical and spiritual practice.

Together, we'll look at how to build meaningful relationships with the saints, understand their unique virtues and areas of patronage, and incorporate them into spellwork, divination, protection, healing, and everyday life. Whether you're approaching them through prayer, candles, relics, petitions, or personal devotion, you'll discover practical ways to work with these powerful holy figures while developing a practice that feels authentic and alive.

Whether you're completely new to saint magick or looking to deepen an existing practice, this workshop offers a grounded introduction to one of the Western esoteric tradition's most accessible and rewarding paths.

Robert Peter is an occult practitioner and teacher whose work blends Catholic devotion, folk magic, ancestral veneration, and Western esotericism. With a focus on saints, angels, ancestors, and practical spiritual work, he is passionate about making traditional magical practices accessible to modern practitioners. Through his workshops and teachings, Robert encourages a grounded, experience-led approach to building meaningful relationships with the spiritual world.

We are offering a 10% discount for any
correspondence courses with Liz Williams, for anyone who has purchased a ticket for next year.
This is the very popular one, but there are several others in the link at the bottom of the post!

ADVANCED PRACTICAL MAGIC COURSE
Guided by Liz Williams -

Following on from our popular Basic Practical Magic course, this new 8-month course looks at different aspects of practical magic in greater depth, with a personalised approach that enables you to study your chosen areas of magical practice with full support from myself and the team at Witchcraft Shop/Cat & Cauldron.

Throughout the course, we will be looking at a number of aspects of deeper magical practice, including:

- astral travel and shamanic journeying

- building up a personal relationship with a particular deity or deities (constructing shrines, daily practice, specific ritual work)

- grimoire magic: conjuration, invocation and evocation, and working with specific entities (mainly angelic work but we will be looking at other types of conjuration as well)

- in-depth planetary work and Behenian star lore (Renaissance astrology)

- healing work

- banishing and binding (this is ‘emergency measures' magical practice, and we will also be dealing with curse removal, house cleansing, and protective/blessing magic)

- ritual work for others: constructing naming ceremonies, handfastings, funeral rites

- in-depth ancestor and underworld journeying work

- advanced spell work

- trance work

- magical theory and ethics

And we also run other courses, e.g. Tarot: ⬇️

David Rankine will be giving the Jake Stratton-Kent memorial lecture and also facilitating a workshop!

‘In the Beginning was the Image and the Word’

This lecture focuses on the influence of early Christian folklore and magic on the traditions of pentacles and textual charms. Pushing back the timeline of the use of pentacles in the grimoire tradition and revealing some surprising discoveries, David will show how even amongst current research into the Hebrew and Arabic contributions to the grimoire tradition, the contribution of early monastic Christianity cannot be ignored!

The workshop will be
a collection of diverse practices combined for exploring the idea of developing personal sorcery.

David Rankine is an author, esoteric researcher and sorceror who has been practising magic and grimoires for over 47 years. He works as the editor-in-chief for Hadean Press and lives in Spain with his family. In recent decades he is best known for his work on titles like The Grimoire Encyclopaedia, Claves Intelligentarium, The Goetia of Dr Rudd, The Veritable Key of Solomon, Clavis Inferni and Claves Spirituum.

Join occultists from all over the world to learn, discuss, and practice magic. A community spanning all disciplines, the Occult Conference brings together learning, practice, and fellowship in the heart of England.

Lecture announcement!

Andalusian Herbal Magic
An Introduction to the Magical Herbal Legacy of Al Andalus

The aim of this presentation is to unravel an important piece of the
puzzle of medieval European magic, the magic of Al-Andalus, focusing
on herbalism. The influence of Andalusian magic on Western magic is
undeniable. It is a conglomeration of magical wisdom and traditions
found in Iberia, arriving from the confines of the Mediterranean: from
Aristotelian treatises, Hermeticism, astrology, Greco-Roman magic,
Kabbalah, alchemy, Egyptian magic and Middle Eastern traditions.
Al-Andalus became a new Alexandria and a benchmark for its translation
schools and universities.

The history of magical culture in Al-Andalus is a story of survival.
It is a story of traditions deeply rooted in the people, both low and
highborn. It is a testament to how pagan magical traditions survived
in the Iberian Peninsula, even under the Christian cross. Plant magic
is one of the pillars of Andalusian magic. Ness Bosch offers us an
introduction, a window into magical herbalism in the legendary kingdom
of Al-Andalus.

Another amazing practical workshop!

“The Face of the Sun from Sefer HaOtot"

Sefer HaOtot is a 1720 Hebrew manuscript of Solomonic pentacles. In this workshop, we'll learn a bit about the text, and then write and charge our own "Face of the Sun" pentacles, which the text tells us are "great for finding favor and respect in the eyes of kings and lords, and to get from them everything one wants, and so they won’t send one away empty-handed." Please bring colored pencils if you have some, although some will be provided to share."

Mastros is the author of “Introduction to Witchcraft", “The Sorcery of Solomon,” “The Big Book of Magical Incense," and "Orphic Hymns Grimoire.” Recognized by her peers as a brilliant and original thinker, an engaging and inspiring teacher, a compelling and clever writer, and a generally decent human being, Sara spends a lot of time dreaming, thinking, enchanting, writing, and teaching about witchcraft, magic, and myth. But, her true passion is raising up an army of inspired, educated, empowered witches prepared to weave weird new ways of Being in a world that desperately needs us. Rise up! https://3eyedcircus.com/
