Have you ever asked yourself whether knowledge and practices known as "the occult" can be regarded as the beginnings of the modern day sciences? Surely you have. And the answer is 'Yes!' Just think: alchemy was the direct forerunner of chemistry, astrology served as source for modern astronomy, magnetism was the predecessor of hypnotism, medicine took its beginning from magic, mineralogy raised from primitive crystal mysticism and so on.

Science has barely slightly opened the door that is leading towards the understanding of the human being. The scince is slow and ponderous. Not so long ago everyone mocked and sneered at the occult sciences. Today, scholars treat them as a subjects fit for the most scrutinizing and careful examination. As a results of their analysis the barrier between men and the supernatura hasn't been broken, but it made the most of us more tolerant.

Ghosts are proved to exist, whatever their nature may be,people became familiar with the manufacturing of gold, but only in small quantities; mind powers have been researched and studied by different countries and government agencies; half of the world's population believe in the existence of extraterrestrial life and hypnotism is being used in ordinary medical practice.

Making this site we didn't aim to promote or discredit any beliefs about all of the subjects that encompass the so called occult sciences, but only to inform and educate as for the meaning and current knowledge of all of the words, practices, terms, definitions, concepts and aspects of it.
