EVENT SOLD OUT
Join us on the eve of Friday September 6th , from 6-8pm for a special event featuring author and teacher Corinne Boyer. This evening is sure to inspire!
The focus of the event will be the upon the exploration of witch and devil folklore from Northern and Western Europe. Corinne’s newest book titled Between the Witch and the Devil will be released, with signed and hand stamped copies available for sale. A one hour talk on the subject will be given, with question and answer time at the end. An art installation of nine shadow boxes will be shown, each themed on the nine book chapters and their titles. Delightful refreshments will be served.
Between the Witch and the Devil is essentially a focus on the interface between humans and supernatural spirits and how this translated to a magical practitioner of old. Much of the lore comes out of the Early Modern Era- from folktales, oral stories and superstitions, forced trial confessions, and a local understanding of land spirits and place. This information is dark, strange and invocative of older times, where the enchanted and enspirited world was a part of daily life.
This event is limited to 40 participants. Please purchase your ticket to ensure your spot.
Regular Ticket: $15
Member Ticket: $12.25
