About The Event
We celebrate Professor Owen Davies' lush volume on grimoire art at this special evening, and we invite you to join us. These much-feared guides on summoning demons and angels are filled with magical sigils, images and symbols, and they attract collectors to this day; moreover, they inspired illustrated magical volumes right up through the 20th century.
Join us for an evening celebrating art, magic and ritual: At 7pm Profesor Davies gives us a 35-minute illustrated talk showcasing some of the most vivid examples, then we have a friendly Q&A with hi, hosted by Treadwell's founder Christina Oakley Harrington.
We then move upstairs for a friendly soiree. Professor Davies will be around to chat with everyone and sign copies of the book. But more! We will have a range of grimoire magical tools, laid out, for handling and demonstration. Christina and friends will show and tell grimoire volumes we have in stock. Most exciting, our friend Rob Rider Hill, a practising grimoire magician living in London, will show a few practices that are components of ceremonies. All in all, we promise an informal, engaging and sociable evening celebrating magic.
Please join us! RSVP essential as places are limited. Please arrive 6.50 for the talk starting at 7pm. Questions? write to info@treadwells-london.com
