Conference on Ritual Magic – weekend May 12th-13th

Every year, the Museum changes its exhibition space to explore an aspect of witchcraft and magic in more detail.  As the exhibition space is limited and the topics we explore so large, we also hold a conference to augment and enhance the exhibition.  On Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th of May, the Museum will be holding its third annual exhibition conference.  The theme is Ritual Magic to link up with our 2018 exhibition “Dew of Heaven: Objects of Ritual Magic” (running until October 31st 2018 for more details see: https://museumofwitchcraftandmagic.co.uk/exhibitions/dew-of-heaven-objects-of-ritual-magic/)

The conference is FULLY BOOKED so please do not attempt to purchase tickets.  There is also a lengthy reserve list.  Please do not contact the Museum about attending (sorry, it just won’t happen but we will try to share the conference with you in other ways in future such as via a podcast and book of essays).  There are also regular (monthly) free curator talks on the exhibition: https://www.facebook.com/events/1451485898331354/
