Besides our authors a wide variety of topics will be getting covered from the Brujaria on through Voodoo and almost everything in between. In addition all this, the people from Fate Magazine as well as Moon Shadows Magazine have agreed to come out and party with us as well.
In addition to our wonderful lectures, we will be hosting 2 bands for the entertainment of the crowds. Kicking us off on opening night, Friday, will be local gothic metal band Urn and on Saturday night we will slow it down a notch with Ragani of the Kirtan with her sacred music.
There will be a large Vendors room being run by nationally recognized Crafty Crafters Expo Inc, http://www.craftycrafterexpo.com. They are a corporation that had gotten its start in the Chicago land area a couple of years ago running New Age, Goth and Fantasy Expos.
There will also be a psychic's room being run by The American Board for Tarot Certification. We will be having a wide variety of reader using several different forms of divination to give you insight, direction and a glance into the future or the past.
Ancient Ways will help people gain insight, wisdom and knowledge into ways that might otherwise be have been foreign to them giving everyone a weekend off that is filled with education, entertainment and networking. With all that we will be having, this is not an event to miss.
