SUMMARY:Ouija Board Workshop - The Austin Seance at Nocturna
DESCRIPTION:ABOUT THE WORKSHOP \nBy the late 1960s\, sales of the Ouija board rivaled that of America’s best-selling board games. In small towns and large\, from Los Angeles to New York\, the famous wooden planks and planchettes seemingly were everywhere\, delivering titillating\, subversive entertainment for teen-agers and grad students\, housewives and poets. But Ouija was no ordinary toy. Although manufactured and mass-produced\, Ouija was steeped in spiritualist traditions dating back at least a century and was associated with esoteric religions\, paranormal exploration\, art and literature. \nJoin Albert Lucio and Jake Cordero of The Austin Séance for a hands-on workshop on the history and use of these fascinating divinatory devices. This group practice session on Sunday\, Oct. 25\, will last approximately 70 minutes. \nAll are welcome: from skeptics to believers of all things paranormal! \nAttendees are asked to dress in a way to show reverence for this historic parlor activity (no jeans\, flip flops\, or casual tees.) \n✨✨✨✨✨✨ \nDoors at 11:15 a.m.\, doors locked and experience begins at 11:30 a.m. Runs until approximately 1:00 p.m. \n++++++++ \n✨About The Austin Séance \nThe Austin Séance is a creative and experimental collaboration devoted to the history and practice of American séances and Spiritualism. Led by Artistic Director Albert Lucio and Editorial Director Jake Cordero\, The Austin Séance has operated from its home base in Central Texas since 2016. Its work includes séance demonstrations in museums and other public institutions\, occult workshops\, occult lectures\, and academic seminars. The Austin Séance also operates an editorial division and publishes a quarterly journal. The Austin Séance has been featured in Texas Monthly\, NPR’s Texas Standard radio program\, TV broadcasts and more. \n✨About Albert Lucio and Jake Cordero of The Austin Séance \nJake Cordero\, an award-winning journalist\, has reported on everything from cult murders in Mexico to spirit hauntings in Fort Worth. He is a longtime student of magic and philosophy\, and the author of two books. Jake also is editor of The Austin Séance Quarterly Journal\, a Spiritualist history publication. \nThings that go bump in the night have always fascinated Albert Lucio. With a degree in sociology and psychology\, Albert has set out to understand how we shape and are shaped by supernatural beliefs. He has spent years studying ghost hunters\, consorting with psychics and researching the occult. \n✨About Nocturna \nNocturna is movement and mystical sanctuary and coven where the Dark Femme rises – serpentine and sovereign. We weave magickal practices with polework\, floorwork\, and somatic movement\, finding liberation through embodiment. Open to all bodies and identities\, Nocturna is a diverse\, welcoming space where the freedom to authentically express is celebrated\, embodiment is magick\, and every soul is invited to move in ways that awakens joy\, sovereignty\, and release. \nSpace is limited. Must be 18+. For entertainment purposes only. Tickets are non-refundable but are transferrable.
