Anomaly Archives News Letter – January 25th, 20260125

Greetings from the Anomaly Archives! We hope you had a safe and fun holiday season and that your are all doing well so far in 2026. Last year was obviously extremely tumultuous all around the world. We hope that we all have a much better year in 2026.

For links and information to most of the Anomaly Archives’ many activities during 2025, please check out this page here: 2025 Year End Review – Anomaly Archives page.

We’ve got more great monthly Anomaly Academy lectures For Our Patrons coming up this year, including Susan Demeter coming up on Saturday morning, January 31st. Other presenters we are in the process of scheduling include Professor Simon Holland, Barbara Fisher, Jack Hunter, Zelia Edgar, and Many More!

We continue to put out fairly regular installments of our “Anomaly-NOW!” shows with original video and audio-only versions available for those interested in a regular round-up of Anomalous News & Information. But as mentioned in recent episodes, we will likely have to reduce the number of “Anomaly-NOW!” episodes we are able to produce as we move further in to 2026.

Susan Demeter Presents… 

Through A Magickal Lens: Exploring the Paranormal by Means of Occult Practices 

Saturday, January 31st at 10 am Central Time

There is a profound and intrinsic connection between magick, magickal practices and extraordinary human experiences. The link between these was made by well known paranormal researchers Jacques Vallee, Allen Hynek, John Keel, Jenny Randles and others who have studied esoteric writings and consulted with occultists and magickal thinkers as part of their research. This connection has also been made by some experiencers who, like me, see their extraordinary encounters as having informed their spiritual life and in my case my witchcraft.

For three decades I have conducted in person and online outreach to those who have had spontaneous and deliberate extraordinary encounters with a strong interest in the weirdest of the weird. My approach to these experiences and my own encounters is phenomenological, in other words, acceptance of the reality of the experience without judgment on its nature. This perspective gives me the freedom to push the boundaries within my own research and use unconventional, fun and creative ways in my investigations of the paranormal.

This presentation will explore the historical and current intersection of occult practices and extraordinary human experiences. And will give you examples of how you can investigate the paranormal using occult methodology like psychic questing, automatic writing and painting, séances, tarot and an experimental model of conjuring.

Magick is a form of knowledge and its practice allows us to glimpse and accept a profound reality where the paranormal is fully engaged.

Susan Demeter is a Canadian writer and artist. She is the author of Cosmic Witch: Magic Witchcraft and the Supernatural, founder of Paranormal Studies and Intuition, and a co-creator of the UFOlogy Tarot. Susan has conducted scholarly research on behalf of the Defence Studies Department of the Canadian Armed Forces College in Toronto, Canada on the topic of UFOs, and for the The Koestler Parapsychology Unit at the University of Edinburgh – EUROPSI.  The themes of her writing, research, art, and spirituality incorporate her lifelong interest in exceptional human experiences, social history, mysteries, and cosmic magic.
