The Museum of Witchcraft & Magic holds a special place in the hearts of magical practitioners and occult enthusiasts the world over. Based in the sleepy Cornish village of Boscastle, it has a long, inclusive and fascinating history - and its extraordinary exhibits reveal much about the role of the Craft in Britain and beyond.
In this special in-person talk at the College, Simon Costin, director of this widely cherished institution, shares with us fascinating anecdotes from the museum's rich history. From chronicling its founder Cecil Williamson and his association with Gerald Gardner, to the 2004 flood of Boscastle, Simon will tell the story of how witchcraft and magic developed in the UK.
With over 4000 objects in the museum's collection, Simon will offer us a glimpse of some of the most unusual and powerful artefacts.
This evening's in-person talk will inspire and delight those who are drawn to magic, spellcraft, Pagan practice and the occult, as well as esoteric history. There will be time at the end for questions.
This talk is taking place in-person at our college in London
