SÉANCE and WORKSHOP APPEARANCES
We’ll be conducting three workshops over the next several weeks, with steep discounts available for two of them. But you’ll need to join our Patreon to access the savings. Your $5-per-month Patreon subscription also pays for a mailed-to-your home subscription to The Austin Séance Quarterly Journal, occasional free gifts, and other benefits.
The sign-up link can be found here. As you’ll see, the value of these workshop discounts will completely defray the cost of your first Patreon payment.
But that’s not to say you must join our Patreon to attend a workshop. Here’s a list of them, along with ticket links and details:

NEW EDITION OF QUARTERLY JOURNAL OUT NOW
The spring edition of The Austin Séance Quarterly Journal is OUT NOW. Our cover story focuses on famed Italian medium Eusapia Palladino, a woman now remembered as one of the most tested mediums in world history. We also have articles on psychic spoon bending, haunted houses, a Rice University professor’s work on the occult, and a Civil War era occultist.
As a free mailed-to-their-home gift, Patreon subscribers of the Quarterly Journal also receive a copy of our first annual compendium of printed content. The compendium incudes reproductions of two quarterly journals, a tea-leaf reading guide, and additional content.
And remember: all subscription and Patreon proceeds —100 percent — we use to pay our guest writers and artists and to defray our substantial production costs. The Austin Séance doesn’t take a dime in profits, we don’t use AI, and all contributors are either paid professional journalists or experts in the field.
Want to advertise? Rates begin at $60 for a full-page if you sign up through our Patreon service. Back page color ads also are available. Advertisers also receive shout-outs in our email blasts, as well as complimentary copies for redistribution upon request. Find more information at this link, or reach out to Jake at TheAustinSeance@gmail.com.
