Hi Caroline,

You could come and hear my talk on vampires for Bram Stoker's anniversary at The Ghost Club ;)

Where and when:

Victory Services Club, 63-79 Seymour St, London W2
21 April, 2pm

I've not read the other replies to your query, so someone may have mentioned it, but the BM's Enlightenment Gallery has a lovely collection of John Dee paraphernalia. The Wellcome Collection had an exhibition on charms when I was there in November, which might be over, but their holdings are worth a browse at any rate. There's also the merman at the Horniman Museum. A book worth getting in advance is "Occult London" - have a look on Amazon.

Best wishes,

Leo

Hello List Members...

 

I’m coming to London (and Oxford) in late April / early May this year in order to do research in the British and Ashmolean Museums. I’m wondering what resources I can use to find out what other interesting things there are for an Australian occultist to do in London - and Oxford? I’m already booked into Frater Achad’s ‘Rite of Isis’ at Treadwells on the 26 April. I will be in London from 21 to 28 April, then Oxford from 29 April to 4 May, and back in London on 5 and 6 May. (Those are reasonably flexible dates).  I’ve already spoken to Mogg and to Yvonne Aburrow, both Oxford Pagans. But I’m interested to hear what kind of things I can / should attend in my brief time in London-Oxford? I know about occult shops, they are easy to find, is there anything else scintillating that I should make an effort to do? Any Pagan Meet-Ups to go to? That sort of thing? I know there are a million things to do that I could spend all my waking hours on, just museum-wise... but what else should I do. (Hope this isn’t too off topic for the list?)

 

Thanks,

from
