Occulture 2025 Berlin Esoteric Arts and Mutant Mayhem Meet
Berlin | October 23–26, 2025 | MaHalla Power Plant
🌒🔮⚡ Where Arcane Energy Meets Industrial Majesty ⚡🔮🌘
Berlin doesn’t host events — it absorbs them, reshapes them, and imbues them with myth. This October, one of the continent’s most enigmatic gatherings returns.
Welcome to Occulture Conference 2025, now reborn in the raw, electrified halls of MaHalla, Berlin’s legendary early industrial temple — a cathedral of current and consciousness where the esoteric and the electric intertwine.
Forget your average metaphysical fair. Occulture is the largest European convergence dedicated to the critical, creative, and magickal exploration of esoteric traditions. It’s not about polished wellness or airy platitudes — this is deep work for deep minds. A shadow symposium for occultists, artists, mystics, and scholars who speak the hidden tongue and aren’t afraid of the dark.
After years at the Anomalie Art Club, shifting tides and new ownership transformed the venue’s atmosphere — prompting a ritual migration. The call was clear. The circle opened. And the Fellowship of the White Mountain, the secretive collective that conjures Occulture into being, followed the omens straight into the mythic bones of MaHalla.
Built in 1897 as one of the world’s first three-phase power stations, MaHalla now stands recharged — a relic humming with symbolic voltage and spiritual resonance. Towering turbines, rusted staircases, sacred acoustics.
A sigil made stone.
🌌 The Architecture of Initiation: Four Days of Living Esoterica
The 2025 edition of Occulture promises to be its most ambitious yet — not just because of the new space, but because the magick is growing bolder, louder, and more collaborative.
🎤 Lectures will delve into high magic, radical anthropology, hermetic symbolism, and the politics of gnosis. Delivered by some of the most provocative thinkers in the esoteric sphere, past editions have welcomed Stephen Skinner, Gary Lachman, David Beth, Janet Farrar, Phil Hine, Nikky Wyrd, and Vanessa Sinclair — and this year’s lineup is already crackling with anticipation.
🎨 Workshops invite participants to get their hands (and souls) dirty — crafting sigils, decoding sacred alphabets, experimenting with dreamwork, or building ritual tools in industrial shadows.
🎧 Live music isn’t entertainment here. It’s invocation. Expect performances that blur the line between concert and ritual, from throat-singers and techno-ritualists to occult spoken word and sonic dreamweaving.
🕯️ Rituals unfold at night — some open to all, others whispered only to the willing. Magick in motion. Real, raw, and unfiltered.
🖼️ Art installations will transform MaHalla’s brutalist spaces into liminal zones — projections, sculptures, haunted relics, and artefacts from future traditions.
🔮 Divination salons offer tarot, scrying, geomancy, runes, and oracular tech — a constellation of paths waiting to speak through symbol and synchronicity.
This is an activation site — and MaHalla, with its post-industrial grandeur and forgotten-chapel vibes, is the perfect vessel.
🏔️ Inside the Fellowship: The Mystery Architects Behind Occulture
No bios. No social handles. No spotlight selfies. And yet — you can feel them in the current.
Occulture isn’t curated by event planners or agency minds. It’s summoned into being by a living egregore: the Fellowship of the White Mountain — a secretive collective of scholars, magicians, womanthropologists, and artists from across the multiverse. Their ethos? That Magick is not metaphor. It’s method. That culture must not only be studied — but enchanted. ✨📜🕯️
In a world hyper-lit by data and dopamine, the Fellowship cultivates mystery like a sacred garden.
Refuse the flatness of branding, the easy accessibility of bios and blurbs. You won’t find headshots. Find ritual. Find depth. Find an architecture of meaning carefully constructed across every panel, performance, and gathering space.
They’re not hiding. They’re protecting the potency.
Across the past editions — from the art-drenched basements of Flutgraben to the haunted turbine halls of MaHalla — the Fellowship has carefully grown Occulture from an esoteric salon into a full-blown cultural magick storm. Their guest curation leans high voltage.
But this isn’t about celebrity. Occulture isn’t a stage — it’s a circle.
That’s why you’ll find the same respect offered to a first-time ritual participant as to a published author. The conference hums with intellectual rigor but never forgets its heart — the pulse of shared experience, spiritual sovereignty, and that strange moment when a stranger reads your tarot and you suddenly feel seen.
This is not a coloscoplay of mystery. It’s the actual thing. And it’s rare.
🔁 Past Rituals, Present Echoes: A Living Legacy of the Occultural Underground
Every year, Occulture leaves a psychic footprint. Attendees walk away changed, activated, and often a little undone (in the best way). And while its focus is the now, the conference carries a clear ancestral line — a memory of past editions ripple through the scene like spells that haven’t quite finished casting. 🌀📖🧬
Let’s rewind the reel.
In 2018, Occulture’s earliest iteration unfurled inside Flutgraben e.V., Berlin’s edgy artist-run space on the River Spree. That first spark was intimate but electric — a conjuring point for conversations most people didn’t even know they were hungry for. Queer magick. sacred activism. forgotten grimoires. The veil was thin, and the spirits — both ancestral and intellectual — were speaking.
By 2019, it had evolved into a full-blown vortex of ideas and energies, returning with sharper edges and deeper currents. A four-day immersion of chaos magic, post-anthropology, and ritual aesthetics that left the Berlin air buzzing for weeks. Anomalie Art Club became the temple. The crowd? Bigger. Stranger. Brilliant.
Then came 2022, and with it, a phoenix energy. Post-lockdown longing met with ritual urgency. Old paradigms had cracked — and the conference returned not to repair them, but to reimagine what community and magick could look like in the ruins of normality. Monopol Berlin became a dream-lab of raw, prophetic energy.
By 2023, Occulture was a known signal on the global radar. Attendees flew in from Tokyo, Toronto, Tallinn. Talks explored cyber-gnosis, ritual technology, the legacy of Cagliostro, and how to enchant under late capitalism. Rituals weren’t just scheduled — they emerged.
And now — 2025 beckons, humming with the same power once used to light entire city blocks. MaHalla is the next phase in the working. The space itself feels like a machine built to channel will — and Occulture knows how to operate it.
For veterans of the conference, this year is a homecoming with a twist.
For newcomers? A rare opportunity to step through a real threshold.
Because Occulture isn’t something you attend.
💡 Why You Should Go To Occulture: Who This Is Really For
Let’s be clear. Occulture Conference 2025 is not for everyone.
If your idea of esotericism starts and ends with aesthetics, scroll on. This isn’t glitter on Instagram. It’s not about hashtags, horoscopes, or “good vibes only.”
This is for the seekers, the skeptics, the scholars of shadows.
For those who’ve read Crowley and Camille Paglia. Who can quote Bataille and cast a circle.
For the tarot reader with a PhD.
For the chaos magician decoding Jung.
For the ritual artist tired of being a side act.
For anyone who’s ever thought, There must be more — and I’m ready to find it.
Most of all, maybe, for the honest, who have no idea what is going on at all.
You’ll be in good company.
At Occulture, the crowd is as eclectic as the content.
Witches in tailored black linen sipping espresso next to anarcho-theorists.
Astrologers discussing planetary cycles with cognitive scientists.
Occult podcasters, ritual musicians, grimoire collectors, ceremonial initiates.
People from over 20 countries. Different traditions. Different lineages. But one shared hunger. 🔥
And YOU!
A hunger for depth. For experience. For community that doesn’t dilute itself to stay polite.
If you want to be seen, be challenged, be moved —
if you want to sit in a turbine hall in Berlin while someone reads poetry that feels like prophecy —
if you want to scream during a ritual, then laugh over absinthe with a scholar you just met —
this is where you need to be.
Because in a world of surface, Occulture dares to go deep.
