Although social media and this page was a spring board to starting this incredible journey; I believe that in-person events have created the best response to Mum & Dad's stories and that of the Order of the Cubic Stone.

I am indebted to The Welsh Occult Conference (Lesley Ann Jackson & Gary St Michael Nottingham), to Altar collective, to Witch Elm Markets and to Eclipse Metaphysical Events for the opportunities to converse with people and make real connections.

I also feel this is true of the written word, not words read from a computer screen, phone, tablet or kindle, but a physical book, magazine or pamphlet - words on a page have soul.

Lets keep meeting, chatting, presenting and making real human and spiritual connections.

Now, I will get off my soap box 🤣💫

Drawing on decades of experience in Pagan and occult communities, Sef Salem reflects on the enduring importance of in-person gatherings, arguing that face-to-face connections can foster understanding, respectful disagreement, collaboration, and community across traditions.

My tarot skills are still in their infancy; but I feel very connected to my Mum when I use her Oswald Wirth Tarot deck. The silk scarf I wrap them in was also hers and I use a copy of Alfred Douglas's 1974 The Tarot to help me with my interpretations.

The Tarot book has a bit of a story...Mum had a 1974 copy just the same. I sold it, before I started learning Tarot. I had an alternative book that someone had given me, so used that for a while...I couldn't get on with it. Then I saw a copy of the same version Mum used and so I re-bought it. I get on with this one alot better!

The Oswald Wirth deck is not easy to use, but I think it is beautiful and I also believe it is worth persevering with. 💫

This new publication details the lecture Robert Hooke gave to the Royal Society in 1690.

'Of Dr Dee's Book of Spirits' is Hooke's exploration into whether John Dee actually spoke to angels, or whether he really was an Elizabethan spy!

Edited, with an introduction and notes by respected John Dee researcher Alan Thorogood, this 28 page limited edition 'chapbook' is an interesting addition to any Dee collection.
Available on my website for £6.85 including UK postage and packing.

Wow! What a day at the Welsh Occult Conference. I did not have a chance to post yesterday as it was very busy! Didn't even get a chance to take any photos till about halfway through the day!!

Thank you to everyone who came to see me, chat, and buy a few treasures. It was great to hear the speakers too on such a wide range of subjects, something for everyone!

A huge thanks goes out to Gary St Michael Nottingham and Lesley Ann Jackson for their welcome, organisation and hospitality. I am truly grateful to have the platform of the conference to share the legacy of the OCS and make sure that volumes are passed on to the RIGHT people.

It was wonderful to meet up with old friends, reacquaint with people I met last year and connect with new people...always a pleasure.

Thanks also to my helpers - you know who you are. I could not do it without you 📚💜📚

I have alot of food for thought and copious notes to ponder on going forward.

A few more teasers!

If you are coming along, please make yourself known to me on the stall. It's always great to meet people. If we met last year and I've forgotten who you are, my apologies, please just reintroduce yourself and I'm sure it will come flooding back!

See you tomorrow!

Phew! Books all sorted, just got to pack them up in the morning.

I seem to have selected quite a few Victorian volumes, the oldest one being 1861!!

Apparently there are a handful of tickets left, so if you can get yourself to Wales on Saturday, it's going to be a good day!
