Hello fellow Chicagoans.  I wanted to announce our upcoming theatrical presentation, "The Alembic:  An Alchemical Steampunk Fantasy" which will enjoy its premiere at this Chicago Fringe Festival this month.  Alembic Event on Steampunk Empire

We also have an Indiegogo Campaign for "The Alembic" as a fundraiser.  We would appreciate your support in getting word out to any interested parties who may be able to see the show, or support our work. 

See you at Watch Chains and Lace at the end of the month!

Any Steampunkers in the NW Suburban area? Around Des Plaines, Mt. Prospect, or Arlington Heights? I'd like to start a get together group of us to share costume ideas and projects, and just hang out and have fun once a month or so! Please send me a message to let me know! Thanks!

Ta ta till tea time!

The Fourth meeting of the Owen Society

Date:  Sunday, April 29th from noon until 3pm.

Location:  Owen and Engine   Map

Book of faces event page

Details: 

Join us for the fourth meeting of the Owen Society where Tarot and Astrology luminary Janet Berres will present her paper entitled "The Influence of Women on all matters Spiritual and Esoteric during the Victorian Era."

How did the women of the Victorian times influence metaphysics and spirituality in everyday life? Out of this time period came the Fox sisters, who were credited with creating the Spiritualist movement, Madame Blavatsky and Mary Baker Eddy, who both started new religions, and Moina Mathers and Florence Farr, who, at different times, both headed up the Golden Dawn, the premiere occult society of that era.

Then there were Dion Fortune and Annie Besant, Dion who founded the Society of the Inner Light and Annie, a political activist, who created Mixed Masonry, Le Droit Humain, the first co-freemasonry lodge that admitted women.

Pamela Colman Smith, and Lady Freida Harris were the artists and influences behind the Rider Waite Tarot and the Thoth Tarot, while Elsie Wheeler was a clairvoyant who helped Marc Edmund Jones create the Sabian symbols, used in astrology. Ida Craddock was a Victorian "sexual mystic" and women's rights advocate.

Unlike today, in "modern" 21st century America where a war on women is occurring, back at the turn of the last century, women were speaking out and stepping up to the plate--bringing their unique gifts to the world-- and the world was (mostly) approving of it!

Due to the space constraints at Owen and Engine, our Society may either have a maximum of 15 people for the parlor room or we may use the entire upstairs, but must purchase $1000 in food and drink as a group (this means a minimum of 40 attendees buying a full brunch and drink, around $25 before tip and tax). So, in order to plan for the event, we ask that you RSVP by emailing the professor at kgreen5@gmail.com to confirm that you will be attending the lecture. All RSVPs will be served on a first come, first serve basis. Should we reach 40 confirmed attendees, everyone will be welcome. Otherwise, your name will go on our waiting list for one of 15 coveted slots in the parlor room and you'll be notified the week of the event!

As always, neo-Victorian and Steampunk dress is strongly encouraged at all meetings of the Owen Society.
