Researching the Occult and Parapsychology

The New York Public Library offers a lecture on how to research all subjects on the occult and parapsychology in the library. In fact there are a load of great resource material at the library on a range of new age subjects. They have an extensive collection of books and research materials on a range of new age subjects including astrology, ghosts, magic, alchemy, palmistry, witchcraft, UFOs, yoga, reincarnation, clairvoyance etc.

But because of the range of subjects, it is good to know how the library categorizes them. Before you start your search check out this of how the Library of Congress and the NYPL categorizes the subjects -

Parapsychology

Library of Congress - search under the following:

Occultism

Magic

Witchcraft

Psychical research

Parapsychology

Superstition

Curiosities and WOnders

New Age movement

Folklore

 

New York Public Library (NYPL) categories are:

Curiosities and wonders

Magic

Occult Sciences

Superstition

Witchcraft

Nypl1 Nypl2
(Examples of some of the old books available at the NYPL in the occult and new age)

If you go to the library you will be able to access websites and sources that you cannot access at home on your computer. The library maintains some subscriptions and memberships for these great research sites. You can also search on rare and very old books and even print out some of the pages of these books. And the library also subscribes to journals - both old and new - on the subject. Examples are "Fate: True Stories of the Strange and Unknown" from 1948-1962), Fortean Times (1974-present), Journal of Parapsychology ((1937-present), Journal of Religion and Psychical Research ((1981-present), New Age Journal (1983-present), Journal of the Society of Psychical Research (1882-present) and Psi Researcher (1991-present).

Horoscope for the Week of November 9, 2009

Check your energy levels this week. Not only are you raring to go, go, go, you may send others fleeing in terror. Are you a supernova who bursts and dissipates or are you a steady force that moves mountains? Ask Mars which now squares the Sun.

Here is my favorite book on astrology and a "must" for anyone interested in learning more: Secrets from a Stargazer's Notebook: Making Astrology Work for You

ARIES   (MARCH 21 - APRIL 20)
Can you seek fun and frolic alone or will you drag lovers along for the wild ride? It is up to you , Ram. You are in a very expansive and domineering mood and think that what you say, goes. How far will you really take things? That is the question. Remember that one person’s pleasure is another one’s pain. Of course some folks like it that way....

TAURUS   (APRIL 21 - MAY 21)
The focus is on home and family. Bulls putter around the house with a vengeance, creating dust, activity and domestic evolution. Did I say evolution? I meant dramatic change. While family pressures compel you to take certain actions, will those particular actions cause frictions in relationships? It depends on what type of friction you want. Ahem.

GEMINI   (MAY 22 - JUNE 21)
Chit chat at work will only get you into trouble this week. So if you can find an outside groaning board to pine to, do so. Otherwise button your lip and try to look at things and co-workers optimistically. There is nothing to be gained from complaining now anyway. Idle gossip takes on a frankenstein life of its own and walks the cubicles. Nice shoes though.

CANCER   (JUNE 22 - JULY 23)
Count your pennies this week and be sure that you get exactly what you pay for. Crabs are tempted to join in the festivities but might find that after all the drinks are drained and the antics acted, they are stuck with the bill... and the clean-up. So continue to party hearty but keep an eye on the arc of the event. Make your exit early along with your wallet.

LEO   (JULY 24 - AUGUST 23)
You are forceful, compelling and quite a showpiece this week. At least you think so. Lions may not know when enough is enough. Strut and fret your time on the stage but recognize when the audience is ready for an intermission. You are brimming with great ideas that no one will hear if you can’t find a way to modulate the message. Roaring ain’t the way.

VIRGO   (AUGUST 24 - SEPTEMBER 23)
Virgins focus on what is going on beneath the surface and behind the scenes. And they are not afraid to talk about it ... incessantly. Don’t do that. Keep it to yourself. Before you try to root out any mysteries, take a step back and see if you are being motivated by the facts or paranoia. Of course some of us think that paranoia is simply having all the facts.

LIBRA   (SEPTEMBER 24 - OCTOBER 23)
You are probably one of the most sociable people around. And you don’t mind going out of your way in platonic relationships. But there are those who might take advantage of your good nature and your generosity. How much do you want to fund your friends’ jolly times? It is nice to be nice but try not to be a doormat. Draw a line and stay on your side.

SCORPIO   (OCTOBER 24 - NOVEMBER 22)
You are more ambitious than usual. But be discreet this week and try and focus on your career without making a spectacle of yourself. Scorps who can find strategic ways of working behind the scenes to get themselves well positioned will make more long term inroads than those who try to highlight their accomplishments publicly. Hire a press agent later.

SAGITTARIUS   (NOVEMBER 23 - DECEMBER 22)
Archers may feel compelled to scratch their itchy feet and travel but be sure to plan any upcoming trip very carefully. There may be some details that you have left out that will be crucial to finding your way or discovering new and important things. Keep a watchful eye out for shady characters. What you learn about them now will fill in all the details. Ah ha!!

CAPRICORN   (DECEMBER 23 - JANUARY 20)
Hotsy totsy Caps have a fire lit under them. Or is it that they burn with passion? Whatever warms your heart, explore it this week. But while the temptation will be to mix friendships with love, it is probably a better idea to keep all your relationships separate, less complicated and ultimately happier. Who will you turn to for love advice otherwise?

AQUARIUS   (JANUARY 21 - FEBRUARY 19)
If you feel pulled in two directions by the demands of a partnership, try not to let it influence your career decisions. Aquarians have a tendency to try and make all sides in an argument happy and in the process, create problems for themselves. So think of yourself - your needs, your desires and your plans. Hopefully those close to you will understand. If not, give them time.

PISCES   (FEBRUARY 20 - MARCH 20)
As much as you want to roll up your sleeves and be productive, the fates conspire to divert your attention to global, mind bending things this week. Pisces are apt to daydream and wander down detours. This is not a bad thing, usually. But the most important thing is to not get hung up on details that are just time wasters.You know who we mean....

Lucky Numbers for the Week of November 6, 2009

Lottery ads tell us you only need a dollar and a dream. But I think it is also helpful to have a list of lucky numbers to help spur the good fortune ... or fortunes.

So with that in mind, I decided that we could use some lucky numbers that can be used in any helpful way. I gazed into a pool of water, Nostradamus-like, and contemplated the cosmos. Then I mixed the tarot cards and allowed the spirits to guide me to the cards that represent the lucky numbers for this week. Nothing is guaranteed but who knows ....?

I choose eight numbers because 8 is the number of wealth.

Here are the lucky numbers for the week of November 6-12, 2009:

3, 5, 24, 36, 37, 41, 55, 60

There are many ways to delve into your own consciousness to find luck and intuition. Try reading Dream Power/Improve Your Luck (Super Strength Series) and see if your dreams give you any clues and premonitions.

Reclaiming the night sky: award-winning astrophotography

With all of the man-made light in today's cities and suburbs, we have lost some of our ability to really see the night sky with its beautiful range of constellations of stars, planets, asteroids and vast darkness. But if you are away from all the lights, like in some quiet dark desert, there is still the opportunity to star gaze like the old days.

Iranian photographer Babak Tafreshi has won the 2009 Lennart Nilsson scientific photography prize. According to the award panel, his images "reclaim a night sky that most modern people have lost". See some of his fantastic photographs here.
