Writing the Occult returns with its latest instalment exploring the concept of belief.
Writing the Occult: Belief Saturday 6 September, 2025 Starts 1pm UK / 9am ET Early bird tickets are £35 until 16 August 2025, or £40 from 17 August. Sales end at midnight GMT on 5 September. Tickets from https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/writing-the-occult-belief-tickets-1258315909759It’s one of the few topics that can polarise a population: do you proselytise, or do you run from any hint of religious discussion? But belief is not just about which sky captain you think is better than others; it’s about the reasons we do what we do, why we blindly follow others—and why we don’t follow at all. What can belief make us humans do?
Join us at Writing the Occult where we venture into forbidden territory. Yes, we’re going to talk about beliefs. What’s it like to live in a cult? Why do people get swept away by charismatic leaders? Where do conspiracy theories come from? And what makes humans believe in the first place? Let’s ask if the truth really is out there.
Speakers and full schedule to come.
Writing the Occult is a boutique series of events brought to you by the Society of Ink Slingers, in partnership with Alex Davis Events. Our approach is to bring together the fiction world with folklore and academia to bring a well-rounded view to a specific area of interest to both speculative fiction writers and those with a hankering for the esoteric.
Speaker bios and session details coming soon. Follow @societyofinkslingers on Instagram for announcements.
