Hello all I am just at the beginning stages of planing a festival and conference for summer of next year that will have a very broad base of occult related events, centering around 3 full days of lectures and panel discussions on various topics. I wanted to approach the list about suggestions as to who is consider the academic authority on the topics listed below. I am looking for names of living people who could potentially speak. There will be a call for papers/presentations in the coming weeks, I am just now compiling a list and wanted a good idea where to start. These are the basic areas of interest, though I am open to other suggestions as well: thelema kaballah sufism transcendentalism hermetic magic diabolism witchcraft tantra herbalism shamanism altered states of consciousness voudoun wicca trance sorcery goetia tarot oneriography chaos magick crowley fetishism animism Please let me know on or off list and if you have contact info for the people you suggest that will help greatly. Thank you Raymond Salvatore Harmon _________________________________________________________________ Get 5 GB of storage with Windows Live Hotmail. http://windowslive.com/Explore/Hotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_hotmail_acq_5gb_112008
