Dear Friends,

‘The words of Trismegestus were inscribed upon an Emerald Tablet just as the Esoteric Book Conference will be inscribed in the Emerald City.’

The Esoteric Book Conference is an annual international event to bring together authors, artists, publishers and bookmakers working in the field of esotericism. In addition to presentations by notable authors and scholars, the conference opens it doors to publishers and booksellers showcasing new & used books as well as rare and hard-to-find esoteric texts. For two days the conference hosts the largest selection of esoteric books under one roof. Contemporary esoteric publishing, finepress book arts and antiquarian texts are offered to augment the libraries of readers, scholars and collectors alike.

Western Esotericism, Gnosticism, Theosophy, Mythology, Shamanism, Rosicrucianism, Sacred Sciences, Occulture and World Religions are among the subjects to be represented. An esoteric book fair and art show will also be on site allowing education, vending and networking in a unique field of literary, historical and cultural arts.

There is a growing list of confirmed guests including: Robert Ansell [Fulgur Limited, UK], Peter Grey and Alkistis Dimech [Scarlet Imprint, UK], John Coughlin [Waning Moon Publications], Joel Radcliffe [Ars Obscura Bookbinding], Darcy Kuntz [Golden Dawn Trust], Carlos Melgoza [Anima Noctuna], and more to be announced.
