Evening
Head to The Last Tuesday Society for the launch of 'A Consensus of Symbols: Patterns in Ritual Building Protection', an evening devoted to the hidden magical traditions embedded within Britain’s historic buildings.
Drawing on nearly four decades of research, this fascinating anthology surveys the archaeological evidence for ritual protection in domestic spaces - from apotropaic graffiti and taper burn marks to concealed shoes, witch bottles, and other deliberately hidden objects. Through a series of engaging essays, Wayne Perkins explores the social, cultural, and supernatural contexts behind these practices, asking who created these markings, what fears or intentions lay behind them, and how magic was understood in the Early Modern world.
Perfect for students of folklore, archaeology, and esoteric history, this launch offers a rare opportunity to step into the strange and compelling world of ritual building protection.
