I am so excited to be launching the new topic area DIVINATION, WITCHCRAFT & THE OCCULT at PCA this year which is back in the wonderful Crescent City, New Orleans. It’s such a fun conference — and not just because it usually means hanging out with Miss Wendy! — and there is probably no better location for it than New Orleans. The tentative schedule (not all registrations are in):
