“Witchland: A Deadly Moral Panic in Seventeenth-Century Britain” by Marion Gibson

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "From the bestselling author of Witchcraft, the captivating, compassionate account of a moral panic that swept across Britain during the English Civil War, leaving hundreds of so-called witches dead in its wake. Predating the Salem witch trials by decades—though linked by ideology and, in some cases, by ancestry—these trials began in southeastern England and the Scottish Lowlands in the early 1640s and spread rapidly through Britain. Fueled by religiosity, misogyny, and the economic stresses of war, the trials soon grew into a mass panic that transformed the nation—and led to the deaths of over three hundred people during a ten-year span. Moving across England and Scotland, Witchland shows how the chaos and ...>>

“NAD Vol. 2: A Psychic Study of the Music of the Spheres” by D. Scott Rogo

"In his Foreword, Raymond Bayless says: "This book, as well as its predecessor and companion work, NAD: A Study of Some Unusual 'Other-World' Experiences, is an extremely valuable pioneering study of a most extraordinary psychical phenomenon — paranormal music. "The subject, prior to Rogo's investigations, has been neglected, in spite of its obvious importance to psychic science. It is of particular importance to research into survival of death and 'astral projection', or OOBE (out-of-the-body experiences) phenomena. Scott Rogo has dealt masterfully with this field and has ably brought it into the clear light of scientific examination". Applying the technique known to science as "pattern analysis", Rogo presents his findings on fifty-eight new cases involving ...>>

“NAD: A Study of Some Unusual Other-World Experiences” by D. Scott Rogo

“Mysterious Phenomena of the Human Psyche” by Leonid Leonidovich Vasiliev

"This book, the first of its kind to be published in the Soviet Union, heralds a new and fascinating scientific development. The author is an important Soviet physiologist and a pioneer in the study of parapsychology.
