CRUCIBLE: Conjuration and Chaos!
Are you going to Crucible this year? Do you know about it? Why not?
Crucible is different than most gatherings you go to:
- No vendors: the focus is on learning and socializing with people of like mind.
- Though there is a mixer on Friday and brunch on Sunday the real Crucible is just one day so you don’t have to kill a lot of time.
- Two lectures going at any given time, with a focus squarely on magic. Not religion, or pagan leadership, or seminars on running groups – lectures on actual applied operative magic
- Fringe of a fringe. Crucible is typically a place where people can present ideas, and systems that may not find a lot of traction at other festivals. It might be something radically different like Omnimancy, or it might be ethically questionable like a workshop on curses.
- Cost is ridiculously low: $40 pre-register or $45 at the door.
This year is looking to be great: there will a panel on the role of religion in magic, and another on Necromancy. I will be doing a class on Tibetan Magic for Western Sorcerers. Polyphanes is doing a talk on Mathesis Greek Khabbalah, Arthur is doing a talk on Astral Biology… Check out the full schedule here.
Perhaps the biggest thing going down this year though is that Andrieh Vitimus is doing a Mass of Chaos Vibrational Baphomet which will be simulcast on the web.
