Download or read book Cult & Occult written by Robert T. Smith and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The mystical, the mysterious and the macabre have attracted and repelled people from the beginnings of the human race. There was a time when witches were hunted and burned at stakes and people who were thought to be possessed by demons were shunned or stoned. But in our time--the Aquarian 70s--there has been a dramatic shift in attitude toward those who experience the occult world or are in some way 'spiritually different.' Maxine believes she was alive in Rome during the time of Julius Caesar and that one day in the Forum she killed her husband. Ronald speaks in tongues as a higher form of praying: '...calamandro...kuboosh...haykya...' Lisa, a witch, says, 'There are doctors and businessmen and scientists and people from every walk of life who belong to covens.' Mrs. Faber 'talks' through automatic writing to her deceased husband who has been to other planets. Spiritualists, revivalists, astrologers and exorcists were all challenges to veteran reporter Robert T. Smith. Mr. Smith's 25 years of journalistic experiences have taught him to be skeptical. During his numerous interviews there were events that he said, 'Couldn't be explained naturally.' One reviewer reported, 'Cult & Occult is like a catalog covering all of the unexplainable mystical and spiritual experiences you've heard about in a lifetime. Believers will find in it an affirmation of what they already believe. Others will be fascinated by the diversity.' Cult & Occult is a revealing book. It includes true reports about individuals following paths toward religious rituals, the stars, God, the Devil, peace with nature and the open door to the unknown."--back cover.

Download or read book Modern Occult Rhetoric written by Joshua Gunn and published by University of Alabama Press. This book was released on 2011-01-28 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A broadly interdisciplinary study of the pervasive secrecy in America cultural, political, and religious discourse. The occult has traditionally been understood as the study of secrets of the practice of mysticism or magic. This book broadens our understanding of the occult by treating it as a rhetorical phenomenon tied to language and symbols and more central to American culture than is commonly assumed. Joshua Gunn approaches the occult as an idiom, examining the ways in which acts of textual criticism and interpretation are occultic in nature, as evident in practices as diverse as academic scholarship, Freemasonry, and television production. Gunn probes, for instance, the ways in which jargon employed by various social and professional groups creates barriers and fosters secrecy. From the theory wars of cultural studies to the Satanic Panic that swept the national mass media in the late 1980s and early 1990s, Gunn shows how the paradox of a hidden, buried, or secret meaning that cannot be expressed in language appears time and time again in Western culture. These recurrent patterns, Gunn argues, arise from a generalized, popular anxiety about language and its limitations. Ultimately, Modern Occult Rhetoric demonstrates the indissoluble relationship between language, secrecy, and publicity, and the centrality of suspicion in our daily lives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black magic murders, satanic sex cults and demonic possession - tabloid journalists jumps at any mention of the disturbing practices of the occult. Is this unhealthy obsession to blame for our increasingly violent society, or is the truth even darker and more disturbing? This book includes detailed accounts of animal sacrifice, exorcisms and the influence of Satanism in today's world, from rock music and ritual murders in the USA to black magic ceremonies and other necromantic practices worldwide. The Dark History of the Occult examines whether Satanic Forces are simply the emergence of the dark side of human nature, or whether we really do have something to fear - namely, evil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Religion is alive and well in the modern world, and the social-scientific study of religion is undergoing a renaissance. For much of this century, respected social theorists predicted the death of religion as inevitable consequence of science, education, and modern economics. But they were wrong. Stark and Bainbridge set out to explain the survival of religion. Using information derived from numerous surveys, censuses, historical case studies, and ethnographic field expeditions, they chart the full sweep of contemporary religion from the traditional denominations to the most fervent cults. This wealth of information is located within a coherent theoretical framework that examines religion as a social response to human needs, both the general needs shared by all and the desires specific to those who are denied the economic rewards or prestige enjoyed by the privileged. By explaining the forms taken by religions today, Stark and Bainbridge allow us to understand its persistence in a secular age and its prospects for the future,
