About The Event
Pagan News was an important magazine of the UK occult scene through the 1980s-'90s, co-founded and co-edited by Phil Hine. Tonight we launch Delinquent Elementals, an anthology of the most exceptional articles, reports and conversations from the zine's 36 issues.
The evening kicks off with a conversation on the orange sofa between Phil and Christina. Expect to hear about how magical practitioners in those years interacted with the wider culture, how the Satanic Panic terrorised lives, how road works were a hot topic, and how LGBTQ+ occultists struggled for acceptance. We'll then take it upstairs for a party with complimentary drinks, informal chats and book signings.
Delinquent Elementals: A Pagan News Anthology is co-edited by Phil and Rodney Orpheus and published by Strange Attractor Press. It is a large, lush volume of 656 pages, with 50+ illustrations, many archival. Paperback £25, hardback £45.
Please arrive around 6.50pm for a 7pm…
