Book Release: Pragmatic Magical Thinking. Ari Freeman

Body

In terms that even the hardened sceptic will appreciate, this book radically debunks the western consensus view of reality using some of its most treasured tools, science, psychology, history, anthropology, and plenty of humour. In its place is built an evidential case for magic in its many forms, from the spirit-infused world of our ancestors and indigenous cultures to religious rites, to the rituals of modern occultists.


Ari Freeman will be giving a public talk and reading from his book, answering questions and book signing. Come help him celebrate his first release as a writer.

NOTE: UNDER COVID-19 PROTECTION FRAMEWORK; AT RED THIS EVENT REQUIRES A VACCINE PASS AND LIMITED TO 20 PEOPLE.
