Magick Matters

"H.G.M. Hermans’s 1998 Memories of a Maverick: Andrija Puharich, MD, LLD is a biographical sketch of the parapsychologist written by his ex-wife. Of Croatian parentage, Karel (the Andrija was a nickname) Puharić (1918-1995) was born in Chicago. Originally interested in medical research, and eventually filing several dozen patents, he devoted much effort to parapsychology though he continued to undertake more mainstream investigations. Hermans mostly concentrates on his paranormal activities but does refer to his other work. In the paranormal field he is best known for publicising psychic surgeon Arigo ("he of the rusty knife"), Dutch psychic Peter Hurkos (whom Hermans did not warm to), and above all Uri Geller.

“Chasing the Dark: Encounters with the supernatural” by Ben Machell

Magick Matters

🕵️🐷🕵️ zero-day🕵️🐷🕵️ "Late one evening the telephone rings, and on the line is a stranger. They tell you that your nine-year-old son gave them your number. Your heart stops. You tell them that your son has been dead for almost 20 years. They know this, they say. He wants you to come and see him. What do you do when reality begins to fray around you? Where do you go when science cannot explain your experiences? The Society for Psychical Research was founded in 1882 to tackle these very questions and to shine light on the shadowy world of the supernatural. Distinguished members have included prime ministers and Nobel Prize-winning scientists. But the most prolific of all...>>

“Gurdjieff and the Fourth Way: An Esoteric Legacy” by Stephen A. Grant

Magick Matters

"A profound new look at Gurdjieff’s life, teaching, and role as a spiritual leader through the lens of esotericism. Gurdjieff warned against taking anything literally or on faith, and he advised accepting only experience that could be lived oneself. He also said that one has to find out "how to know" and that understanding higher knowledge depends on one’s "level of being". The aim of the Fourth Way is toward a change of being—from the level of man number one, two, and three to that of man number four. Stephen Grant offers a fundamental reassessment of Gurdjieff as a spiritual leader and the Fourth Way as an esoteric teaching. This includes recognizing the Fourth Way...>>
