Divination

[close] A digital book club focusing on folkloric and traditional magic. By undertaking close readings of folk tales and anthropological and academic texts about folkloric practices, we hoping we can uncover some of the underpinning principles with a view to how we can apply these things to our own lives and practices. We're also interested in how a queer theoretical perspective can trouble our received understanding of 'how things were' and result in new insights about difference and otherness - especially in regards to the archetype of the witch. The moderator's interests are in Appalachian, Irish, English, German and Serbian folk practices as that’s where his ancestral lines lie, but we welcome folks from other cultural heritages, especially people of colour and folks outside of Europe.

[close] Just a place for people interested in occult topics, especially magic. Most other groups like this seem a bit dead in the water, so here's a place for lively discussion and helping each other out. Why a private group? Because I want you to make a conscious effort to join. When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro. - Hunter S. Thompson
