Magick Matters

"Why were the United States and the Soviet Union engaged in a "psychic arms race"? Did you know the government was spending tax dollars on projects like "Madame Zodiac" and the "First Earth Battalion"? Can some people use extrasensory powers and "psychotronic" equipment to detect submarines and military installations, or are they elaborate fakes? What is the "psychic howitzer"? Can it really blast missiles out of the sky? In this shockingly controversial book, Ron McRae documents the incredible story of official research into the military uses of parapsychology at the highest levels of government.

Magick Matters

"Remote Viewing... Precognitive Dreaming... Synchronicity ... The United States Department of Defense using ESP to gather intelligence information... Sounds like science fiction?

“Fits, Trances, and Visions: Experiencing Religion and Explaining Experience from Wesley to James” by Ann Taves

Magick Matters

"Fits, trances, visions, speaking in tongues, clairvoyance, out-of-body experiences, possession. Believers have long viewed these and similar involuntary experiences as religious—as manifestations of God, the spirits, or the Christ within. Skeptics, on the other hand, have understood them as symptoms of physical disease, mental disorder, group dynamics, or other natural causes. In this sweeping work of religious and psychological history, Ann Taves explores the myriad ways in which believers and detractors interpreted these complex experiences in Anglo-American culture between the mid-eighteenth and early-twentieth centuries. Taves divides the book into three sections. In the first, ranging from 1740 to 1820, she examines the debate over trances, visions, and other involuntary experiences against the politically charged backdrop...>>
