Wave Gothic Treffen - Sex, Drugs and Rock’n Roll:

Sex, Drugs and Rock'n Roll: A magical-mythical journey into the world of the dead, magic plants and secret tinctures - lecture and talk with Constance Timm and travel companion (16:00 for beginners, 18:00 for advanced)

This year we have dedicated ourselves to a very special journey through time, beyond all physics, philosophy and literature: We will roam the ancient and medieval underworlds and get to the bottom of the horror of revenants - naturally with instructions on how to ward off the undead and the answer to the question of why buttons, clothing or bones from the dead were extremely popular, and not just for collectors' purposes. It has even happened to some of the dead that they did not leave this world entirely voluntarily. A look into the magical world of magic plants and secret tinctures can shed light on this; it is also interesting for the living, and not just for topics such as divination, potency and other states of intoxication. Even the physician and alchemist Paracelsus knew that the dose makes the poison. That's why it's best to ask the mythologists and magicians from the Working Group for Comparative Mythology about the risks and side effects of WGT 2025.
