If you are a witchy, pagon, magical practitioner or want to learn more, live in the San Francisco Bay Area or will be visiting this weekend, you might end up in San Jose at PantheaCon. Sadly, barring Zeus appearing as a pile of gold (I am NOT going to say, Golden Shower) and me spending him on entry and transportation, I will be unable to attend or participate this year. This is the 25th annual PantheaCon. You can get more information HERE!
There is something for just about everyone at PantheaCon. There are amazing hospitality suites. Workshops and panels for just about every issue, theater, rituals and concerts. I recommend just about everything!

There are a couple of things, I don't recommend and this is just my opinion.
I would take a hard pass on Kooch Daniels’ Palmistry class which seems to show up every year. The reason I don’t recommend it is that when I attended it was a total disorganized mess and a big portion of it focused on cold reading your clients rather than just reading their palms. She also paraded my palm around insisting that I had this rare double lifeline, which I later was told is not the case. So, I dunno. That’s my warning.
I’m also no longer recommending Orion Foxwood’s books, workshops, etc to anyone. H recently showed his support for a cultural appropriator who was being viciously defended by obvious racists. When called out for it, he made more excuses and in a display of precious white male fragility, refused to engage further, stomped his foot and deleted all evidence of the disagreement and his original offensive statements. You can get a taste of what he did HERE.

In the Vender Room I highly recommend you check out my friends Bob and Lisa's bling at The Dragon's Treasure Booth! Eye Scream Jewelry is also fabulous. The Fairy Oddmothers has fun stuff too.
Most of all, if you go, have fun and tell me all about it!
