Club Spotlight

Answers by Ashley Towner, Occult Club President

HOW DID THE CLUB COME TO BE?

The Occult Club started in November 2020 out of a desire to create a space for witches, Pagans, Satanists and other practitioners of magick and the occult. We chose the word “Occult” because it is broad and inclusive of many religions, practices and belief systems and was the best word to describe our diverse membership.

WHAT EXPERIENCES DOES THE CLUB BRING?

The Occult Club is a welcoming and diverse space where you will encounter new and thought-provoking ideas about spirituality, magick and our place in the cosmos. You will be encouraged to share your thoughts in a sincere and open-minded manner and challenge your understanding of the world. You will also have the opportunity to make new friends, eat good food and develop your personal practices. WHO SHOULD JOIN AND WHY?

The Occult Club is for you if you practice or are interested in learning about: witchcraft, Wicca, astrology, tarot, Paganism, Satanism, alchemy, chaos magick, Hermeticism, any other form of magick, divination or spirituality.

Joining the occult club provides a community to discuss and learn about these topics and a place to form friendships with like-minded people.

WHAT EVENTS DO YOU HOST?

Every month, the Occult Club hosts a book club event, where we discuss our thoughts and views on the book that we voted on at the start of the month. We also hold regular discussion groups on specific subjects to develop a deeper understanding and incorporate new ideas into our practices. We also work with other clubs to host broad and open events like our Annual Halloween Party and pumpkin carvings around Halloween. HOW DO I FIND/ FOLLOW/CONNECT WITH YOU?
