What does a 16th-century grimoire have to say to us today? Well-known in modern occult circles as “The Book of Oberon” due to its depiction of the Fairy King, Folger Manuscript V.b.26 has long held an important place in the history of ceremonial magic and the grimoire tradition.

Join us on All Hallows’ Day as Folger Institute Artist Fellow Alexander D’Agostino uses tarot divination, embodied performance, and an LGBTQ+ lens to converse with this enigmatic manuscript. Audience members can submit questions for the Book to answer during the event.

Open your mind and suspend your disbelief—what wisdom will you find?
