Several
clients have mentioned to me that they've had trouble meeting other
people with similiar interests in spirituality, the occult, or weird
shit generally. Others have said they'd like the chance to learn
more about these topics, but don't really know where to begin. In
London we are actually quite blessed by the number of groups that
meet regularly, and talks that are put on each week. However, you
have to know where to look. So here is a rough round-up of some
useful links to meetings and talks that you might find interesting.
Note: this is not designed
to be a comprehensive list in any way, these are just a few of the
places that I've stumbled across over the years. You may not find
them all to your taste, and they may not all be that interesting
- but at least you'll know more about what's going on out there.
 The
Secret Chiefs
A fortnightly get together for those interested in paganism and
the occult. There is a talk each meeting, by a guest speaker, and
the chance to chat to other people before and afterwards. Held in
a pub in central London. Talks vary from folklore, mythology, pagan
religions, to contemporary issues about Paganism.
The
Moot with no Name
Similarly to the Secret
Chiefs the Moot with no Name meets every fortnight for talks and
the chance to socialise. Again they meet in a central London pub.
Treadwell's
Treadwells is a wonderful
second hand bookstore in Covent Garden that also hosts a series
of excellent talks on various occult matters. They have somewhat
of an academic bent, but an evening in Treadwell's also gives ideal
opportunity to chat and meet no people. Treadwell's is an excellent
social hub for people interested in things occult.
The
Earth Mysteries Group
A group which gets together twice a month to give talks and discuss
issues related to earth mysteries - stone circles, lay-lines, Glastonbury,
and the like.
The
Dark Arts Society
For more of a gothic bent, the Dark Arts Society put on talks and
events featuring a weide variety of subjects, from poetry, short
stories and films, to talks on supernatural and occult subjects.
