Join us for a Victorian Twelfth Night
Twelfth Night is an age old tradition that certainly didn’t start during the Victorian times, but it gained notoriety during then. It became such a scene that Queen Victoria outlawed it entirely, even after she had participated in many Twelfth Nights herself. January 5, we are bringing it back. The food, the drink, the games, Read more about Join us for a Victorian Twelfth Night[…]
The Divinations for Victorian Spiritualism
Divinations are easy to perform and usually more accessible in every day life for the Victorian. Palmistry, tarot cards, and crystal gazing was reserved for drawing room entertainment. The Victorian woman may need an answer right away to a perplexing question or a solution to a problem. Tonight… you are the Victorian. You have questions Read more about The Divinations for Victorian Spiritualism[…]
The Two Sisters
“Lottie, have you seen the posters they put out about us?”, whispered Kitty. She felt that raising her voice would cause them to be discovered, and yet it was only her and her sister Charlotte in the house, and the spirits of course. “I have. There’s nothing to worry about. It’s only the act of Read more about The Two Sisters[…]
The Historic Wynne-Russell House
We have 2 events going on in the Wynne-Russell House in Lilburn, Ga and we couldn’t be happier to be in a facility such as this. We’re allowed to wrap ourselves in it’s history.

Spiritualism in Middle Georgia
Georgia wasn’t a hot bed of spiritualist activity, much like the British were. They did have their performances and lectures (which I’ll post another time), but what they did have were the “Georgia Wonders”. While other parts of the nation and a good part of Victorian England had their celebrity mediums, Georgia was cooking their Read more about Spiritualism in Middle Georgia[…]
You’re only as good as your location
We don’t find just *any* location… it has to be perfect. We scout as many venues as possible, even ones we don’t think would ever work because you never know when inspiration hits and you might need it. I have to say that Atlanta has a huge variety of event spaces. As little as a Read more about You’re only as good as your location[…]
Down to the Last Detail
I’ve organized a few conventions, and the most fun I’ve had was filling in the details. The mostly unseen items strewn about the con floor, that when it is recognized you can hear a hearty laughter through the hall. I think that’s why I like chatelaines so much. They’re the detail of a Victorian lady’s Read more about Down to the Last Detail[…]
Atlanta Cosplay Yard Sale
Atlanta Cosplay Yard Sale started as its own little event. It was a chance for cosplayers to sell their used costumes, accessories, props, etc… and for the rest of us to complete our costumes or buy a complete set. When you go to Dragon Con, you don’t just cosplay ONE character… oh no…. you have Read more about Atlanta Cosplay Yard Sale[…]
