Ars Esoterica Presentation by WinterSoul

A few of you have been asking about how I come up with my ideas for creatures and stories. Well, this year I'm honored to have the opportunity to speak on art and some of the ways which I generate ideas in my own pieces. Let me introduce everyone to Ye Olde Magic Shoppe's yearly gathering, Ars Esoterica! The theme this year is "The Moon," which was a perfect opportunity for me to jump in and talk about weird moody artist creativity. ;) Of course, there are other subjects related to that strange night-time world, to help us explore that we have a ton of great presenters this year! Just to name a few: authors Frater Ashen Chassan and Stephanie Connolly Reisner, tarot expert Joy Vernon, and even Rev. Melissa Burchfield will be there to teach us a bit about trance and music!

My Presentation Description:
"Bringing Back the Otherworlds"

Throughout history, people have worked to enter altered states of consciousness, expanding the human experience into places of deep insight. Yet, without a way to bring experiences back, the altered state looks to outsiders like nothing more than a whimsical dream. How have otherworldly travelers integrated the lessons so that their hard work and experiences are useful to themselves and their community? It may be more often than the general audience realizes that altered states have been recorded in forms of art and culture. Explore how others have brought their experiences to the physical via means of art. We will mainly be covering the methods of visual art and writing, in addition to investigating how you as an individual might be able to begin recording your own dreams and visions!

While I am a little nervous, overall I think this will be a fun day. It would be wonderful to see some of you outside of the usual convention setting, and at the same time talk about some of my favorite things! Speaking of conventions, keep your eyes peeled for news on this year's convention list!
