(astronomical compass marking the lunar nodes, from Astronomicum Lasareum)
This site is designed to dispel some of the misconceptions in the popular imagination regarding various aspects of what is generally called the supernatural. The greatest of these misconceptions is that the supernatual does not exist. Nothing could be further from the truth. Study of the occult reveals the presence of mysterious forces and strange creatures that interact with our lives more frequently than most of us suspect. It gives access to realms that lie beyond our everyday material reality, and shows that we are a vital part of the totality of the universe, both material and spiritual. It vanquishes narrow thoughts and petty beliefs, and provides personal liberation from the mundane. Those of you who possess open minds may find food for thought among these pages. At the very least, you will be entertained. - Donald Tyson
