We are pleased to announce that the first annual Albuquerque Voodoo Conference is still accepting registration. Your response has been overwhelming and heart warming! We are looking forward to putting on a life-changing, stellar event for you. This truly is an opportunity of a lifetime to learn magickal secrets and teachings, participate in rituals, and learn from the experts. Our main theme will be a focus on New Orleans Voodoo and its magickal practices. However, there will also be teachings on many other subjects including Haitian Vodou, herbal and root magick, sacred objects and their usages, traditional witchcraft, dream studies, psychic enhancement, and much more. The cost of the conference includes all events, workshops, lectures, classes, written course materials, entertainment, a cocktail reception on Friday night of the conference and dinner on Saturday night of the conference. There will be many classes as well as hands on workshops where you will actually create sacred magickal objects, be taught to use them, and take them home with you! Additionally, you will have a chance to have your own personal magickal items consecrated by New Orleans Voodoo Priestess, Samantha Corfield.
All workshops and classes are "behind closed doors" and no press or media will be present. Your confidentiality is assured.
The location of this year's conference will be held at the Albuquerque MCM Elegante, a hotel that offers us many amenities for our participants who do not live in Albuquerque. The Elegante offers a free shuttle to and from the airport as well as a free shuttle to and from many Albuquerque attractions including Old Town, casinos, and various other locations. In addition to offering a daily free full, hot breakfast, the Elegante also has a full service restaurant as well as other restaurants within walking distance. The Elegante also offers free cocktails in the evenings for guests, indoor pool, high speed internet, and much more. Participants who stay at the Elegante for the Conference should be able to do fine without a rental car unless you want to explore the City and State further.
The Elegante is offering a great deal for our conference attendees with room rates: $72.00 for a single room, $82.00 for a double room and this includes all of the amenities mentioned above. When reserving your room at the hotel, please use the code SHEER either online (in the Company/Promotions box)or if you call the hotel to make reservations - this will get you the room rates mentioned above. These rates will be good for 2 days before and 3 days after the conference for those of you who wish to extend your stay.
