Women of the Golden Dawn

The Golden Dawn is the most talked about and accidentally well documented magical Order of the last 150 years. It was set up with women and men working together as equals, and that created a harmony and a “roundedness” to their rituals even when the ink was barely dry on them.
Respectable, disreputable, sociable and dedicated, quite a few of the members made names for themselves outside the Lodges. Geraldine Beskin, co-owner of the Atlantis Bookshop, talks about Moina Mathers, Florence Farr, Annie Horniman and other women who were not in supporting roles – they were great achievers both within the Golden Dawn and in the wider world.

Time: 8pm (Doors 7.30)
Venue: The Bell, 50 Middlesex Street E1 7EX

Time-Slips

By
  Time-Slips 26 November 2024 In the early years of the 20th century, two ladies visited the gardens of Versailles. Whilst there, they apparently slipped back in time to the late 18th century. They published a book describing their experience, which in later years was debunked as misperception and hallucination. Case closed. Or is it? There are a plethora of similar contemporary reports of apparent slips through time, from brief glimpses to full interactive experiences. Most reports describe features from the past, but a few describe possible slips forward in time. Dr Ann Winspe r has been researching people apparently travelling through time for the last 20 years. She describes some of these fascinating cases and looks at possible explanations, as well as how not all can be explained through misperception and psychology.
