Roleplaying the Occult Imagination - Two Session Workshop

In this two-session workshop, Peter Bebergal and Gareth Branwyn teach ways of doing magic using the concepts and techniques of roleplaying games.  They start from the premise that all magic involves roleplaying, inhabiting a new consciousness, and a will to honor whatever specific traits and attributes belong to that role.  Both magic and roleplaying alter consciousness: but each has something to teach the other. Magic as a spiritual practice often ends up devoid of deep imaginative play. Roleplaying is often missing the depth of real occultism. Peter and Gareth will lead participants in hands-on exercises, discussion and practical workings.

• notebook, pens, pencil, etc
