Uncertain Places: Essays on Occult and Outsider Experiences

The book "The Modern Occult" explores our shift away from materialism toward renewal of the numinous, mysterious, and uncertain. It examines topics that evoke widespread misunderstanding, including the real history of secret societies, the wisdom of the Satanic, Gnosticism, Hermeticism, out-of-body experience, and the contemporary war on witches. It also looks at the influence of the founding lights of modern occultism, including mystic Neville Goddard, occult scholar Manly P. Hall, and surrealist filmmaker David Lynch. The book debunks famous pseudo-skeptics and explores magickal practices, including Anarchic Magick, mind metaphysics, the Law of Attraction, and Ouija boards. It questions time-honored spiritual values like forgiveness and examines the contemporary war on witches around the world. The book offers a thought-provoking investigation of the spiritual, the occult, the magickal, and the extra-physical and lays the groundwork for readers to continue their own journeys into these esoteric streams of consciousness.
