I attended a Psychic Forces Workshop last night through the Oakdale Parks and Rec association. I happened to see it on my Active.com “What’s Happening in Your Neighborhood” newsletter and was intrigued. Three members of the Great River Paranormal Exploration Team talked about the history of ghost hunting, the definitions of extra-sensory perception, and then showed [...]
Shall we get right into it? How do you feel about reversals? Do you read them? If so, how? Do you have seventy-eight other interpretations that you use? Do you have a system that you apply to or a modification for the upright meanings? Do you not use them? Why? What do you do when [...]

There was a circular cloud hovering over Moscow last week. Meteorologists claim it’s not supernatural, but there’s just something about that photo that makes a person go hmm…. When I first saw it, I immediately thought “That looks like something that would be on an episode of Doctor Who.”
The past year has been especially hard on Americans. We’ve seen our housing market collapse into ruins of foreclosures, unemployment rates skyrocket, and business after business shutter their doors.

In the past, astronomical and astrological influences were often more involved with magick, and even today, magicians often look at such things as the astrological signs and houses certain planets are in, the planetary hour of the day, whether the moon is waxing or [...]

Over a year ago I was flown out to Hawaii to give a workshop for an organization run by a man who has been described as a “New Age Self-Help Guru,” James Arthur Ray. Mr. Ray has appeared on Oprah and Larry King, and was seen in the film version of the book, The Secret, [...]
I like Wikipedia. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Wikipedia, the concept is simple. It’s based on the idea that nobody can be an expert on everything, but many people can be experts on individual topics. Thus, instead of creating an encyclopedia run by a limited panel of experts, Wikipedia invites everyone to [...]
If you’ve watched any of the late night talk shows this week, you’ve probably heard jokes about NASA crashing a rocket into the moon. Letterman quips that we’re following the Iraq strategy – bomb first, look for evidence later.  So wait… we’re bombing the moon? That couldn’t be right! So I went online to find [...]
