Tammie Darden

I’m always surprised when I get up in the morning, look in the mirror and see the years on my face. My brain just refuses to age gracefully, so here I am still doing Cons and wearing corsets. My walking stick resembles a quarter staff. I’m usually the cat herder at a function. I collect all kinds of odd bits of knowledge and love to share them. I hold a BS in Biology with a Minor in Chemistry. The chemical field is where I make my living. I’m also a Neuromuscular Therapist and hope to one day get a Masters degree in diet and nutrition. The crowning achievement of my life is three wonderful children and four amazing grandchildren (who take after me of course). I currently live in a small town in North Georgia with my love “Grizzly Dan” Darden.

 

 

Bill Zenn

Bill Zenn is a maverick student of esoteric history, philosophy and social movements. In an age where the average person can hardly focus on anything longer than a tweet or Facebook status, where context and sources are “too troublesome to look up”, where sound-bites sway opinions, he stubbornly resists these trends. Spending most of his time in pursuit of knowledge – historical, modern and speculative – he also facilitates a philosophical and research group called Ormus Lodge.

Jay Peterson


Jay “The Barbarian” Peterson is a fight choreographer, armorer, actor, and military adviser. His clients have included the Academy Theater, Impulse Repertory Company, and Armed & Dangerous Television. A U.S. Marine, Jay fought in both Iraq and Afghanistan as a Machine Gunner. Just Blanks, Jay’s latest short film, explored just how much damage could be done without using actual bullets (short answer: more than you’d think). Jay recently signed on as the weapons master for the fantasy film To The King. Thus far, Jay doesn’t plan to be fighting another duel at this year’s AnachroCon, though that may be from lack of a challenger.

 

Dove & Serpent Oasis

An official body of the Ordo Templi Orientis located in the Valley of Atlanta, GA, we strive to foster a community for Thelemites in the South-Eastern United States. We currently offer celebration of the Gnostic Mass and Initiations into our Order. We also regularly offer magickal workshops as well as meet and greets.
