Magic of Sound & Vision – In-Person Workshop

The relationship between hearing and sight has always been important in magic.

In this experiential workshop, Julian Vayne makes a rare appearance in-person at Treadwell's to help participants explore the sonic-visual link. The group dives into the sounds of the Greek Magical Papyri, Shipibo-Conibo ayahuasca songs, the Ouranian Barbaric of Chaos Magic, and galdr from the Norse tradition. They discuss psychedelic synesthesia and the use of barbarous words to conjure spirits. They also examine how shape, movement and form are developed by each system. Finally, Julian guides participants to begin discovering their own potent magical sounds.
