We are really excited about our forthcoming event at Coventry Canal Basin. It’s been challenging to get permission from the authorities for this occasion and so we want a really good turn out to come and join our session.

The Invocation event is the brainchild of Emily Hobson. Emily is a respected academic working with Scandinavian folklore and has been investigating the clear links between recent Phenomena sighted in the Coventry canal and Swedish folk tales. She plans to reintroduce a ritual of invocation on the water that’s been used for centuries across Scandinavia, to commune with the otherworldly. This is a real coup for the Diviners and we will also obviously be using scientific methods to record any phenomena that respond to the ritual.


Thanks to Mercia Canoe Club for their open-minded support for this exciting event.

Dress warmly, the Tin Music & Arts will be open for toilets & drinks.

Emily has requested that you don’t forget to bring a charged smartphone in order to be able to document this once in a lifetime event.
