The Dreaming Tree - An Evening Lecture by Corinne Boyer

About this event

Join us for an exploration on the nature of dreams and how they can affect our lives, from a historically informed folk magical perspective. By looking at European traditions surrounding dream divinations, we can glean much about how people of the past valued the dream realms for information and prophecy. The practical applications of this folklore will be covered in depth, so that people feel inspired to put this knowledge to use. A sampler of historical dream Materia magica will also be given, which includes plants, animalia and stones. Traditions such as dream potions, conjuring visions at midnight, dream amulets, transgressive dream procedures and dreaming on Auspicious eves will be addressed. This specialty knowledge is rare and not common to find in typical modern works on dreams. May we learn them from those who have walked before us, how to encounter dreams as potent informants of day to day life.

Doors open at 6pm. Space is limited for this event. Please purchase your ticket in advance.
