Occult Salon & Wizard Coffee Hour
2025: Every other Monday 5:30-6:45PM PST
Please note the new time change for 2025
Host: Jenn Salvadori
Location: Online via Zoom
Recorded for absentees: NoThe concept of the Occult Salon was popular amongst Rosicrucians, avant-garde artists, musicians, and writers in Paris, France in the late 19th century. These gatherings were more than just opportunities for the esoterically-minded to meet and socialize, they also served as forums to share their works, ideas, and artistic and musical compositions with other occultists, especially those works which were not appreciated within the mainstream.
Inspired by this, our students gather 2 times per month for the 22 Teachings Occult Salon hosted by Jenn Salvadori, who provides a welcoming online space for all students to chat, discuss, share questions, talk about trainings and current projects, go deeper into technique exploration, compare notes, and even practice divination.
The Occult Salon reflects the 22 Teachings students reputation for respect, sincerity, dedication, inclusivity, supportive nature and focus on self-betterment. As experience has shown us, Magic is more powerful when done together.All students of 22 Teachings are welcome to attend.

Book Club presents: Ritual Magic Workbook – A Practical Course of Self-Initiation by Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki
12-Month Commitment begins Friday, February 28th, 2025 11 am PST
Meetings (12): 3rd or 4th Friday of each month, beginning March 21st, 2025, 11am-12:30pm PST
Facilitated by Jessica Chappell
Location: Online via Zoom
Recorded for absentees: YesThis is an invitation to embark on a year long adventure in practical, ritual magic in the Western Mystery Tradition. Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki’s Ritual Magic Workbook offers clear, down-to-earth guidance not only on practicing magic, but also unpacks what it means to be a magician, and an initiate in our lineage.
From SOL website: “W.E. Butler received his training in Dion Fortune’s Fraternity of Inner Light, which in turn stemmed from The Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. He served as director of studies of the Servants of the light until 1975, when he was succeeded by Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki, third-generation psychic, mediator, author, lecturer and workshop facilitator. Dolores Ashcroft-Nowicki served as Director of Studies from October 31 1976 – 11th June 2018.”
Both Butler and Ashcroft-Nowicki are held in the highest regards by Naha, our head of faculty, and the bookclub has read both Lords of Light by Butler and Magical Use of Thought Forms by Ashcroft-Nowicki.
This structured 12-month commitment aligns with the Zodiacal New Year and is designed for sincere seekers willing to dedicate themselves to the hard work and discipline required to build a solid foundation in ritual magic. Guided by the workbook’s step-by-step lessons and supported by a committed group of peers, you will engage in a journey of exploration, practice, and growth.
Whether you’re new to magic or returning to deepen your skills, this study group provides a clear framework for learning the essentials and applying them meaningfully in your life.
