About
Our aim is to facilitate the sharing of arcane knowledge, strengthening and preserving the Western esoteric traditions now and into the future.
The Victorian Occult Conference was created in 2025 to help bridge the gaps in Victoria, Australia that exist between communities in different branches of the Western Occult Tradition, also called the Western Esoteric Tradition and the Western Mystery Schools. These branches can include but are not limited to: Freemasonry, Hermeticism, Paganism, Rosicrucianism & Theosophy; encompassing traditional practices like alchemy, ceremonial magic, divination, kabbalah, traditional witchcraft, theurgy & more.
The conference brings together people from all these communities, facilitating the spread of ancient spiritual techniques, illumination and networking. Our hope is that this encourages comradeship, eclecticism in occult practice and a holistic appreciation of the rich and varied esoteric knowledge held in these communities. New friendships and learning opportunities can be made. We aim to offer a safe and inclusive space for like minded folk of all genders, races, ethnicities and ages to come together to learn with these shared values and visions.
The conference includes finely curated speakers, an occult market offering various books, curios & objets d'art for sale, an ecstatic art gallery and door prizes.
We also now have a monthly community building meetup - the Sphinx Club.
