In 2020, we intended to partner with our friends at the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft & Magick
@WitchMuseum to bring BLK Celebration to Cleveland. The ensuing global pandemic set us back in these plans, but we are happy to announce that we will return to Ohio in September of 2023. Events will occur in Cleveland and Mansfield, Ohio. Watch this page as well as our social media for developments.

BLK Celebration 2018 – Steven Slane Intermill presents “A Witchcraft Museum of Yesterday & Today”

Steven Slane Intermill will be joining BLK Celebration 2018 to deliver

“A WITCHCRAFT MUSEUM OF YESTERDAY & TODAY”

witch museum

The current curator and caretaker of the Buckland Museum of Witchcraft & Magick explores the history and significance of Raymond Buckland’s collection, tracing it from its humble beginnings in a Long Island basement to its current home in Cleveland, OH. The collection has had many twists and turns in its history, but through them all it has remained well documented. This presentation will feature photos, news clippings, audio recordings, and promotional materials from its birth in the 1960s to today. This presentation was original presented at the Occult Humanities Conference in 2017 but has been revised to reflect the Voudon Gnostic elements in the collection.

By day Steven Slane Intermill curates a large pop culture themed museum, by night it is strictly amulets and cauldrons.
