Welcome to the Arcane Athenaeum

Your portal to the mysteries of magic, forbidden knowledge, science and history.
Nightshade News, Peculiar Post, Arcane Retreats and more coming soon…

Membership options for the Arcane Athenaeum’s elite society of witches, thinkers, explorers and knowledge seekers.

You have wanted to start learning about magic somewhere and have no idea where? I’ve got you. The Peculiar Post parcels include neuroscience backed rituals with step by step instructions and material to start experimenting. You will also start building your custom Oracle Deck exclusive to the Arcane’s members.

The first parcel run is capped at 100 boxes, by pre-order only between the 13th and 19th of November. If you miss out, you wait for the next run. The parcels are set to ship on December 1st.

 What do expect in your parcel. A sneak peak of your November lesson plan:

  • A potion class. Dive into the art of alchemy by following this month’s simple yet potent potion. Hint: it’s themed after Nightshade News.

  • A resin to blend and burn. Learn the art of creating your own burning blends with intention and direction. Hint: There’s always a practical element attached to each lesson.

  • Two custom oracle cards. The first two of a 48-card deck that finishes in year two. (These cards are hand drawn by Trish and will only be available to the Arcane’s members)

  • The Phoenician spell and the Atropos Cord, with its wrapping thread.

  • A crystal (each box will have different items with their significance), and a ritual card for the rite above. 

  • A Surprise item.
