Cocktail Soiree and an Evening of Questions
Cost £5
To attend the event, please book a ticket here.
To celebrate London Pride, The Atlantis Bookshop is hosting a soiree – an evening which promises to be replete with cocktails, beauty and insightful conversation.
Set against the background of London’s oldest, longest running Occult Bookshop the evening will feature a panel led discussion and Q&A (jovially referred to as an ‘LGBTQ&A’!). The session will allow those that identify as LGBTQIA+ a space to raise questions and share experiences about their journey as queer people on a pagan, earth-based, or occult path.
During the evening there will be an exhibition of original artwork by the Queer Tarot artist and illustrator Ari Wisner. Ari will be joining the panel with Paul Wood and Gary Wright.
Similar to the occult soirees of early 1900s, there will be plenty of time to socialise and converse with others. So join us for drinks, celebrate pride and walk in the footsteps of infamous occultists (such as Aleister Crowley, Gerald Gardner and Austin Osman Spare) at The Atlantis Bookshop.
