The Salem Summer Symposium is a week-long series of events dedicated to celebrating Magical Education, Commerce, and Community throughout the city of Salem. The Symposium is being organized by The Cauldron Black, Spiritus Arcanum and Justice the Wizard. nOur intention work with select local Salem businesses to participate in and sponsor this city-wide collaborative event. We are looking to local businesses to be represented by volunteering as venues for workshops, rituals, and presentations, be an active part of our city-wide Scavenger Hunt and take part in our Witches Pub Crawl. nInspired by Nemoralia, Festival of the Ancient Goddess Diana, and in honor of the anniversary of The Cauldron Black’s store opening (August 2017), this festival is intended to create sacred space for the exploration, celebration, and acceptance of Magickal & Occult practice, commerce, community and activism throughout the city. The Salem Summer Symposium exists to foster the perspective of Salem as a sacred pilgrimage site of important history, education, and spiritual nourishment. All spiritual traditions and levels of experience are welcome to participate. nWednesday, August 7nSalem Summer Symposium Welcome Dinner nThursday, August 8nLucky Lemon with J.W.
