OCCULT Arts Salon 2014 was the second annual weekend long esoteric salon honoring, exploring, and celebrating the intertwining vines which feed both magick and creative art. Featuring workshops/lectures, art exhibition/salon, panel discussion, performances, rituals, and masque. The primary intention of the panel discussion was to explore how ideas about divisions in time, ages or aeons, affect creativity and various movements in art, music, performance, and literature.

I wish so much that I could have attended this awesome event. I did however write about this event, as wel as other work by April Schaile and Sarah Jezebel Wood, in the last chapter of my book “The Theatre of the Occult Revival: Alternative Spiritual Performance from 1875 to the Present.” I quote Richard Kaczynski in the chapter on Aleister Crowley and Thelemic theatre.
