VAMPIRES : THE CREATURES OF THE NIGHT
SLIDE SHOW & LECTURE
FRIDAY, OCTOBER 10TH
7:30PM $20.00
RESERVE YOUR SPOT - SPACE
IS LIMITED ! |
We
are pleased to announce that Martin Riccardo will be with us on Friday
evening, October 10th @ 7:30PM presenting a slide presentation for all
ages about our beloved Vampires!
This slide lecture presentatino examines
the mysteries of the vampire in legend, film, fantasy, and fact.
Many aspects of the undead are covered, including: the origin and
history of vampire beliefs, ancient lore of blood and the restless dead,
and the attraction of the vampire in literature, movies, and culture.
Various explanations of the vampire legend are considered. Strange
accounts of unearthly attacks are described, such as the vampire of Highgate
Cemetery in England, and Dracula's ghost in Romania.
Martin Riccardo, director of Vampire Studies,
has been lecturing on the subject for numerous libraries, bookstores, and
various organizations since 1977. In the late 1970s he published
the Journal of Vampirism for two years. In the 1980s he had two books
published, The Life of the Vampire and Vampires Unearthed. His latest
book is Liquid Dreams of Vampires, a study of the vampire image in dreams
and fantasies. He has hosted several Vampire Fan Forums in the Chicagoland
area and he was interviewed on the television show SIGHTINGS in 1992. |

| SAMHAIN |
Samhain,
popularly known as Halloween, occurs in late October and early November.
For most Wiccan practitioners, this is the New Year, and a time for letting
go of the old and looking ahead to the new. It marks the end of the harvest
season. Since ancient times, Pagans have paid their respects to departed
loved ones, ancestors, and guides in the Spirit World at Samhain. The Goddess
manifests as the Crone and the God as the Horned Hunter and Lord of Death.
Sacred colors are Black and Orange. It is the festival of endings and transformation.
Set up an altar in your home to honor departed
loved ones and ancestors, or, if you already have such an altar, place
offerings and light a candle there. As done in ancient times, set a place
at your table for your spirit friends and relatives, and serve them some
of the food and drink you share at your Samhain feast. Throw a Come as
You Were Party and have everyone dress up as they were in another life.
Set lighted carved pumpkins around your home to bless it. Magically make
a resolution to break out of a negative habit pattern and begin a healthier
way of being. Do divination on the year ahead.
