Philadelphia: City of the Uncanny and the Arcane
Education Philosophy and Religion Department at Parkway Central Library
Ryan Susurrus of the Philadelphia Obscura Society will speak on the many-colored religious inheritance of Philadelphia. He will be discussing turn-of-the-century Theosophist and mystic Madam Blavatsky, Father Divine of the Universal Peace Mission Movement, Harry’s Occult Shop, and much more. This is an event for seekers of the odd and the extraordinary, students of religious history, and those interested in the hidden past of Philadelphia esotericism!
