What is The Wyrd Society?

The Wyrd Society is a circle of readers, seekers, witches, and wyrd folk committed to exploring the occult through its literature, from grimoires and magical philosophy to witchcraft histories and modern mystic texts. We gather to learn, question, experiment, and connect, honoring the lineage of the written word as a tool of transformation. In true wyrd fashion, we embrace curiosity, respect, and the living mystery at the heart of every book.

Season One
(Jan–July 2026)

For season one, we will be reading and discussing Magic Maker by Pam Grossman.

It’s a magical guide to creativity. Grossman connects creativity and magic, exploring how artists / creatives throughout history have used magical practices to inspire their work.

  • The book is 384 pages.

  • Topics include spellcasting, invocation, spirit communication, divination, and more, as tools for creative practice.

  • In Magic Maker, Grossman gives practical “roadmap”-style advice for using magical methods in your creative life.

    This first season runs for seven sessions, covering the full book from January through July 2026.
