Anomaly Academy Monthly Lecture Series

New Anomaly Academy Monthly Lecture Series

In June of 2024, the Anomaly Archives is launching a new Patreon-based community building and fundraising program and we need your support. One of the Anomaly Archives’ longtime original goals since its founding in 2003 has been to establish a distance learning academy focused on the many anomalous fields of inquiry orbiting the worlds of UFOs and the paranormal. In the coming year, we plan on expanding our community programming to include online classes as part of a distance-learning Anomaly-Academy / UFO-University / Visible-College curriculum.

Beginning this month – Saturday, June 29th, 2024 – we are launching a new Anomaly Academy Monthly Lecture Series. Each month we’ll be hosting a fascinating presentation from fellow Anomalists and Fortean Seekers. Each month’s presentation becomes part of a growing back-catalog of content available to our community of Patreon members.

Patreon members at the Anomaly Academy Cadet monthly supporter level or higher get access to each month’s new live online lecture presentation and to the archive of past presentations that this monthly schedule will generate over time. For $10 a month you get a new lecture presentation each month and access to the back-catalog of previous presentations.

Our first three scheduled presentations included Brent Raynes, Professor WHAM, and Joshua Cutchin! See below…

There are other membership levels you can subscribe to at lower monthly rates, however only the Anomaly Academy Cadet supporter level or higher gets you access to each month’s new live online lecture presentation.

Future benefits are planned ranging from early access to Anomaly-Roundtable panel discussions, patron-only content, deep-dive interviews, online classes and more!

Thank you for your commitment to furthering the Anomaly Archives’ mission of preservation of anomalous materials and public education about those collections.

We look forward to seeing you at each month’s lecture presentation.

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.
