SaturnVox is a multimedia arts and education ritual with an emphasis on the imaginal, the esoteric, and the contemplation of magic and wonder performed by witch and mystic McCalla Ann

McCalla sparks conversations by means of their studies in mysticism, philosophy of language, art, and media, all of which form the amalgam that is the SaturnVox Ceremony.

Inspired by the work of Sylvia Wynter in her article "The Ceremony Must Be Found," ceremony refers to the conceptual framework and cultural narratives that shape human identity and understanding. It involves the language and storytelling that define what it means to be human within a particular context.

McCalla finds this concept particularly salient in relation to ideas around suffering as a Saturnial strength. The masks we wear act as imaginative representatives of the performative nature of self-identity. They highlight the fluid and dynamic nature of selfhood as individuals navigate between different roles and personas in various experiential contexts.

The stories we tell ourselves, then, and the masks we choose to wear inherently participate in our embodied and analytic experiences of the world. It is important to cultivate an understanding of the self that is both solid yet flexible enough to act dynamically within each performance and multiplicity the self holds. Therefore, SaturnVox seeks to incorporate a variety of different mediums, such as podcasting, divination, lectures, articles, and poetry, to enable inspiration in all participants towards the tension between agency and care-based ecologies.

SaturnVox is an all-inclusive LGBTQ+ friendly space. May the heart of this project be a foundation for a more compassionate and critical community that supports healing through reciprocity and growth.
