Another silent poll (Wicca) do you belive or other) ( Archived) (19)

Do you refer specifically to the latter-day creation known as Wicca, or to traditional British witchcraft, or to the occult in general?
I am a Wodanist, the fundamentals of which are the same as traditional witchcraft.

Basically the occult in general...

You can talk about if you want smoky...I'm interested in it. Enough to google it and read up on it..

Any links..

"Is there a difference between parapsychology, metapsychology and ooccultism?


Yes, there is a huge difference between these three things, although they are =all= interrelated, and also components of what is generally termed “paranormal phenomena”.

Just so we’re on the same page with it, the term “paranormal” refers to anything that appears to be outside or beyond the scope of the usual, known, or expected. (IMO, the word “normal” is a misnomer because there really isn’t any such thing except as a statistical or perceptual average — nevertheless, it’s the best word we’ve got to describe what we mean.)

“Parapsychology” is a specific branch of psychology that deals with the study and investigation of evidence pertaining to psychic phenomena, such as extrasensory perception (ESP), telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, communications with alternate or spirit realms, and similar psychological phenomena and manifestations that are (currently) inexplicable by science.

“Metapsychology” is the science of formulating systematic theory and speculative thought dealing with aspects of the mind that cannot be evaluated on the basis of objective evidence because the concepts extend beyond the limits of psychology as an empirical science. Some examples of this include, among other things, the effects of mass consciousness experiments, prayer and meditation, and the manifestation of “intent” and/or strength of will.

“Occultism”, and it’s root word “Occult”, is something that many people misunderstand and often interpret wrongly. The term “occult” simply refers to things that are mysterious, secret, hidden, or undetectable; taken as a whole, it also refers to supernatural powers or agencies. “Occultism” has two meanings that are, again, often confused and frequently misconceived — in general, it is the study of the supernatural — but it also refers to a =belief= in both supernatural powers and in the possibility of bringing them under human control."
