ALCHEMY

The Alchemy Virtual Library

http://www.levity.com/alchemy/home.html

This site is one of the first alchemy sites on the Web. It has information ranging from general historic data to alchemical journals and even an image of a reconstructed alchemical laboratory. Chemists and laymen alike will be fascinated by the online translated texts from the journals of alchemists. News of upcoming conferences, recommended books, and mailing lists are included, too, along with many other Web resources.

Black Hole Gallery - The Alchemical Stage of Calcination

http://blackholegallery.com/alchemical.html

Although primarily a gallery of supernatural-themed paintings by VanJohnstone, the page cited here has some interesting basic information on alchemy. I even learned that Grandpa on "The Munsters" was an alchemist, and the character of Dr. Frankenstein, in Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, was based on a real-life alchemist. The paintings are sort of cool, especially if you like macabre-sounding names. My favorite title was "Having Tea with Death"-about as anti-Grandma Moses as you can get!

The Golden Elixir Home Page

http://www.unive.it/~dsie/pregadio/index.html

Articles, reviews of books, bibliographies-some even in Chinese-and more are available at this site. It's well-organized and gives you handy descriptions of what's available before you go to the trouble of downloading it. "Golden Elixir," by the way, is the translation of jindan, one of the Chinese names for alchemy.

The Philosophers of Nature

http://www.mcs.net/~alchemy/

Here's the home page for what claims to be the leading school for "studies in the practical and philosophical aspects of alchemy." The Philosophers of Nature, based in Wheaton, IL (a rather unexotic location for such esoteric studies!), offer videotapes, newsletter articles, links to related sites, a FAQs page, an electronic bookstore, and more, but the courses are the main thrust of the site. The alchemical course consists of two parts: spagyrics (plant alchemy) and mineral alchemy. Check out the fascinating photo of a modern alchemical laboratory.

Robin Murphy's Alchemilla Journal-Alchemy, Astrology, Homeopathy, and Ancient Medicine

http://www.alchemilla.com/

This site, sponsored by The Hahnemann Academy of North Americas, focuses more on the medical aspect of alchemy. Its library offers several sections, however, including one on spiritual alchemy. You can also join a mailing list to get more information on book release and seminar dates.

Spagyria

http://www.spagyria.com/

Spagyria is full of information about spagyrics, the branch of alchemy dealing with plants. Click one of the brightly colored flasks in the navigation bar to go to sections on online publications, products, membership information, and more. The herbal index is particularly interesting; click what ails you and get a list of herbs that just might help. There's even a helpful glossary for all those esoteric terms.

LISTSERVS AND OTHER RESOURCES

Contribute by email to an open discussion forum on alchemy by sending email to listserv@levity.com with the words SUBSCRIBE alchemy-list and your full name (not your e-mail address) in the message.
Check out http://www.levity.com/alchemy/new_mail.html for information on joining email discussion groups on different aspects of alchemy, such as alchemy's influence on art.

You have to register to use the services here, but it takes only seconds. Once you do, you can get all kinds of cool information about your astrological profile, including business partnerships, erotic profile (sorry, that information is classified!), your biorhythms, and something called synastry, which is your compatibility with a loved one. You'll need to know your birthdate and time and place of birth, of course, with the same data for people whose compatibility factor you're checking. There's also lots of clear, useful info on astrology in general. It's fun and it's free.

Astrology Now

http://www.onesky.com/astrology/

Excellent basic information about each sign. You can also check a compatibility guide to find which out signs you'll love or hate! Nice graphics, and soothing music plays in the background while you peruse the site.

Astrology Online

http://www.astrology-online.com/zodiac.htm

This site claims to be the largest astrology site on the Internet. Could be-it's pretty big! Cool cloud background, attractive graphics, and clean layout, but the content is equally as good. If you're new to astrology, this site is an excellent starting point; even if you're an old hand at astrology, you'll probably learn something new. Very well-written, with clear, in-depth information; you'll find sections on astrology basics, explanations of each sign, weekly and daily horoscopes, compatibility comparisons, and more. You'll also find links to a dream analysis site and many other paranormal/spiritual sites. Michael, the site author, offers an unusual system of handling personalized reports; he sends 'em out first, and you pay later!

The Cosmic Palette

http://nen.sedona.net//haizen/

Features information about current lunar phases and signs, as well as reasons why people believe and dis-believe astrology. Astrologer Haizen Paige, whose interests and qualifications are described, handles personalized astrology reports (and the payments) by mail. You can read an article of his that appeared in Open Mind or his musings on why people are attracted to Sedona, Arizona, where he lives.

The Harmony of Heaven

http://ruls41.fsw.leidenuniv.nl/ProZodiac/

This site explains the ProZodiac project, which claims to have musically interpreted the movements of the planets through a "mathematical transformation" (sounds like more fun than an plain ole equation). You can listen to samples of the music (AU or AIFF format), which the site asserts is relaxing when used during meditation.

Horoscopes@SWOON

http://www.swoon.com/horoscopes/

Granted, this site is the online host for GQ, Glamour, and Mademoiselle magazines, so you're not going to find scholarly information here. However, if you're looking for light, amusing horoscopes, and a quick outline to sign and compatibility information, try here. You can also find out your rising sign and moon, if you supply some information. SWOON will even email your dailiy horoscopes to you; occasionally, they're uncannily accurate!

Kramer-Fishing Guide to the Stars

http://www.io.com/~fgs/

One of the wittiest astrology pages on the Web, Kramer gives entertaining horoscopes rather than the usual predigested planetessimal fare. A refreshing look at astrology; for an extra laugh, check out the fine print at the bottom of the welcome page. Kramer will mail you a monthly astrological outlook for all the signs, too; check out the mailto link supplied.

The Metalog Directory of Astrology

http://www.astrologer.com/metalog/

http://seds.lpl.arizona.edu/nineplanets/nineplanets/nineplanets.html

This astounding multimedia tour of the planets offers a wealth of information about the mythological significance and scientific understanding of not only the nine planets, but also their moons and some other small astronomical bodies, such as comets and meteorites. Fascinating facts and images, all neatly organized, make this site an excellent educational tool for the astronomical and astrological novice. There's even a glossary and appendixes for further investigation.

TwoStar Oracle

http://www.twostar.com/astrology

You can get a free reading after supplying some information about yourself. Be forewarned, though: You need to know the latitude and longitude of the place you were born. If you don't have an atlas handy, the site links to a couple of resources where you can figure it out.

The Underground Astrologer

http://www.links.net/astro/

Here's a great introduction to the basics of astrology, written in a light, informal style. Justin, the site author, uses an acting metaphor to describe planets, signs, and houses-an interesting way to look at astrology. I found a few bits of info I hadn't heard before, like the tarot cards associated with each sign. Amusing graphics, plus a bibliography and page of varied online resources with interesting annotations.

Ghosts: The Page That Goes Bump in the Night

http://www.camalott.com/~brianbet/ghosts.html

Oooooo...scary, kids! Great site, with lots of ghost stories, a sepulchral chat room, a ghostly forum, and lots of supernatural links. Cool graphics (check out the chainlink used as a separator!), and the material is well-written. You can even submit your own tale of terror, if you like.

Ghosts, Spirits, Shades, & Spectres

http://members.aol.com/DWWaldron/home.html

Great-looking site, with organization and content to match. Besides helpful links to other sites, you can learn the difference between banshides and doppelgangers, for instance; find out why some places are prone to hauntings; and read many bone-chilling stories. Great black-and-white photos and illustrations, and the green text on a black background is, well, ghostly!

The Ghost Stories Site

http://www.sitemart.com/ghost/stories.html

More ghost stories than you can rattle a chain at, plus a questionnaire you can submit if you have a ghost story of your own to submit. Lots of links to other ghost sites, too.

Handwriting on the Wall

http://web-star.com/wall.html

Think it's just a photograph of a brick wall? O ye of little faith! The 24-hour-a-day "Web cam" is trained on the brick wall of a building erected on the site of Portland, Oregon's first cemetery, where ghostly handwriting is said to have mysteriously appeared from time to time. The photo is updated periodically throughout the day, and if you see anything, email at once! Comments from visitors who have seen handwriting are included. The eerie music gave me goosebumps, or maybe it was that skull face I saw on one of the bricks...

Obiwan's UFO-Free Paranormal Page - Stories

http://www.ghosts.org/stories/a.html

No, you won't find any UFO stories here! However, you will find all kinds of ghost stories from a variety of sources. Note: When you click a title that interests you, it opens up a new browser window, which I found a little irritating because of my somewhat slow computer. Interesting stories, though.

The Shadowlands Ghost Page

http://users.aol.com/shadoland2/ghost.html

You'll find enough ghost stories here to keep you shivering by your fireplace all winter! Check out the index for a state-by-state listing of haunted places, too. Lots of links to other ghost sites.

Welcome to Schloss Reichenstein

http://www.caltim.com/reichenstein/

Beautiful site showing the haunted castle Reichenstein along the Rhine River of Germany. Not only does this site have a story of a man without a head, it gives you an informative tour of the stronghold, along with lots of photos, a map of the area, room rates, and contact information.

The WWW Virtual Library: Archive X, Ghost Stories and Folklore

http://www.crown.net/X/GhostStories.html

This site is a huge collection of ghost stories gathered from many sources. There are also some links to similar sites. No fancy graphics, just text, but some stories are definitely worth reading.

Astro-Numerology by Yaakov Kier

http://www.reu.com/kier/

This site acts as an advertisement for numerologist Yaakov Kier, who studied under National Enquirer Psychic Frederick Davies. According to Kier, astro-numerology is a powerful combination of astrology and numerology. You can enter personal information and questions and email them to Kier at 150 bucks a pop. But hey, he offers a money-back guarantee if his predictions aren't accurate-what more could you ask for?

Aunt Agatha's Occult Emporium

http://web.idirect.com/~agatha/

This pagan/metaphysical gathering place seeks to promote the occult through links to events, artists, magazines, and, of course, merchandise sales. There's lots of well-organized, easy-to-find information here, including a spell book, an excellent dictionary of occult terms, and links to all kinds of cool places.

Dark Side of the Net

http://www.gothic.net/darkside/

There's an amazing amount of information at this site! The author has obviously labored and sweated to search out the Internet for occult-related Web pages, FTP sites, newsgroups, mailing lists, and so on. Everything is neatly alphabetized, and there are descriptions for the newsgroups. The links to Web pages aren't annotated, unfortunately-maybe in the future. Check it out before you start looking elsewhere for pages on supernatural/occult/horror topics.

Shawn's Occult and Religious Resources

REINCARNATION

A.R.E. - Edgar Cayce

http://www.are-cayce.com/reincar.htm

Just for the record, A.R.E. is the Association for Research and Enlightenment. This page discusses Cayce's beliefs on reincarnation and offers links to his thoughts on meditation, ESP, Atlantis, and the millennium, among others.

Human Understood Reincarnation or Resurrecting the Dead

http://www.canuck.com/~akwu/

This site opens to an extremely confusing image map; looks like Jackson Pollock got hold of a typewriter. However, if you scroll down past that, you'll find links to sections that are at least readable. From what I could gather-struggling through the author's misspellings, random use of capital letters, and fondness for exclamation points-the site offers some sort of program you can download that has something to do with resurrecting the dead. Perhaps this site should have been called the Lazarus Home Page...It's oddly entertaining and has some links to other sites that are probably just as bizarre.

Karma and Related Theories

http://users.deltanet.com/~lumiere/karma/mystknow.htm

A very in-depth explanation of the theory of reincarnation and how it works. Joseph Morales examines the philosophical questions raised by the traditional Hindu theory of karma and offers several links to related sites. There's tons of information here, so be prepared to sit down and read.

Regressions and Progressions

http://www.calmness.com/pastlife.htm

You'll find some basic information on what past-life regression and reincarnation are and a short list of related articles. There's no real organization to the list, and the descriptions are brief; however, some are worth a look.

Reincarnation & Karma

http://www.spiritweb.org/Spirit/reincarnation-karma-omni.html

This page in Spirit Web's site discusses reincarnation based on the laws of karma. Author John Payne corrects misconceptions about karma and offers an anecdote, "Charlie, the Soul Story" to clarify the concept. This article is actually an excerpt from the online magazine Starseeds, published by Mr. Payne. His email address is included, if you'd like more information.

Reincarnation and Karma

http://www.fst.org/reinc2.htm

This second part of a three-part series of articles by Reverend Simeon Stefanidakis is a fascinating look at reincarnation and karma. The author dispels some of the myths about karma (it's more than just an "eye for an eye," for example) and outlines the degrees of karma, from individual to humankind. Link to Part Three for an absorbing account of the process of rebirth and some of the problems of past-life regression.

Reincarnation Case History

http://www.best.com/~dna/don/CaseHistory.html

Don Showen transcribed this past-life regression session, which he taped in 1976. Written in a question-and-answer format; it makes fascinating-and occasionally eerie-reading.

Reincarnation, karma and past lives

http://inetport.com/~one/bcrkpl.html

Basically, one long essay on reincarnation and its principles by Benjamin Creme, an author, lecturer, and the British chief editor of Share International, a nonprofit organization. He also offers a few links to related sites.

Reincarnation Links

http://www.intercall.com/~joe/reinc.htm

I'm not sure who Joe is, but this page explores Joe's unified spirituality theory and his attempts to understand the meaning of life. He's also a big fan of Edgar Cayce, so he has several links to Cayce's ideas on reincarnation, Atlantis, dream interpretations, and more.

Spiritual Shack

http://www.cs.loyola.edu/~skgupta/

Interesting site-and it wins points for the title! A table of contents leads you to sections on several spiritual topics. Text-heavy, but the information on reincarnation is fairly in-depth, lively, and informative. There are tips on healing, diet, and vegetarianism, as well as a "spiritual tribute" to Edgar Cayce. Links to some related sites, too.

The Weaver Issue No 13 February,1996

http://www.hyperlink.com/E0030/bb8f3

dbob82936c50e8440e0721of396be52c392f3f32c8d/weaver/96/25_1/east/buddhism/reincpr.htm

At this online magazine, you can find an article called "The True Reincarnation of the New Panchen Lama," which profiles the Dalai Lama's recognition of a six-year-old boy, Gedhun Choekyi Nyima, as the authentic reincarnation of the 10th Panchen Lama. Contains links to letters to the Chinese government and press releases.

TAROT

Astarte's TarotWeb

http://home1.pacific.net.sg/~mun_hon/tarot/tarot.htm

An excellent site! You can find a brief history of tarot, browse through the FAQs, peruse the list of places all over the country to buy tarot decks, read about the meanings of the cards, find links to many, many tarot sites, and even get a sample reading. This site has great graphics and is extremely well organized. Check out Divinations: The TarotWeb Newsletter and The WebWeaver Bulletin Board.

Frank's Cyber-Cafe

http://wwwserv.caiw.nl/~fkuypers/

To give you an idea of what this site is like, when you first reach it, you'll hear a string of WAV files, including one from Homer Simpson! However, for those interested in tarot, check out his CULT-pages section in the navigation bar on the left. You can get an online tarot reading and download a zipped version of WinTarot, as well as check out some good links to other tarot sites. Frank also has a chat corner you can try out, if you like.

InnerSpace Station - Tarot & Spirituality

http://web.idirect.com/%7Einnerspa/

You can get tarot readings and psychic guidance at prices ranging from $20-$75, depending on the scope of the service. Check out the Metaphysical Book store, too, as well as spirital and metaphysical articles, poetry, listings of workshops and seminars, and more. Nice-looking graphics, and the site is well organized. It even offers lots of cool links to more metaphysical/spiritual pages.

Learning the Tarot - An Online Course

http://www2.dgsys.com/~bunning/top.html

Joan Bunning offers an excellent in-depth online tarot tutorial. The entire package can also be downloaded from this site, which is an excellent place to start for those interested in entering the tarot realm. To test out a particular topic in more depth, I looked up the Celtic Cross spread (the most common way to lay out the tarot cards). Wow! Very clear, thorough explanation, including diagrams and a hypothetical example. The information is well written and interesting, too; this is definitely a site to bookmark. She also recommends books and lists links to other interesting sites.

Michele's Tarot Page

http://www.erols.com/jacksn/

A good tarot-for-beginners page, with the information clearly laid out. Michele offers tips, links to other tarot pages (and not-so-tarot pages), places to find tarot books and software, and links to tarot decks.

The Pythagorean Tarot

http://www.cs.utk.edu/~mclennan/BA/PT/PT.html

An interesting take on tarot-its interpretation is based on Pythagorean numerology, although the author also draws on Mediterranean mythology, alchemy, and Jungian psychology, to name a few. The cards are covered in depth, suitably divided into major and minor arcana. Take the time to view the images of the unusual deck created by the author-it's worth it.

Sarena's Tarot

http://www.talisman.net/tarot/

This fascinating site not only covers typical tarot-it also shows you how to do tarot readings with regular playing cards. You'll find tarot FAQs, descriptions of many different, unusual layouts for the cards, tips for tarot experts, tarot spells, recommended books, and links to related sites.

Tarot

http://www.facade.com/attraction/tarot/

This site claims to be the original tarot Web site, and it could well be because it's been offering free tarot readings since 1993. It has several different types of deck readings and covers several schools of tarot thought. One particularly nice feature is that after getting your reading with all the illustrations included, you can choose to get a "print-friendly" format without the graphics, in case you want a paper version to refer to later. You'll also find links to tarot-related topics and other occult interests.

Tarot Inspiration - The Book of Thoth Website

http://www.geocities.com/Paris/2110/index.html

This site gives you information on tarot relating to the Book of Thoth, using the beautifully illustrated Crowley deck. Cool organization-the author has set up the site sections in what looks like tabbed folders at the top of the frame. In the Cards section, there's an interesting interactive feature-you can submit your interpretation of what a particular tarot card means. Hans (the author) publishes them and responds to many of the comments. A booklist with reviews includes links to Amazon.com, and the links section is short, but illustrated and annotated.

Tarot: Tools and Rites of Transformation

http://www.nccn.net/~tarot/

Excellent site, packed full of information. In addition to getting a sample tarot reading with the William Blake deck (beautiful cards inspired by the mystical English writer), you can find newsletters, workshops and seminars, links to other sites, and all kinds of tarot-related resources. It's a great starting point to delve into the world of tarot.

Whew...just goes to show you what happens when you have some spare time on your hands and an active imagination! Find out about the alien invasion that's been taking place since 1923; check out the mischief these aliens have caused (crop circles, to start with), read the "flame" message they've left for us humans, see pictures of the Sinoel Roc's home planet and spacecraft, investigate the government conspiracy (oh, come on! you knew there had to be one!) surrounding their invasion, and much more. The featured alien bears an uncanny resemblance to my first boyfriend, by the way.

Area 51

http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Vault/5426/

This site has got to be a member of more Web rings than any other I've seen! Start here to get on Web rings for UFOs, conspiracy theories, aliens, and lots more. You'll find a reading list, links to other UFO sites, and more.

Area 51

http://www.ufomind.com/area51/

This page (not government sponsored, naturally) is about the secret military instillation that has sparked curiosity and UFO enthusiasts for years.

BUFORA-British UFO Research Association

http://www.citadel.co.uk/citadel/eclipse/futura/bufora/aboutbuf.htm

This home page for the organization supplies historical UFO information (including the interesting tidbit that Charlemagne supposedly saw a UFO in 810) and outline's BUFORA's research goals. It also discusses BUFORA's publication, UFO Times, and annual meetings. BUFORA seems to take a very even-handed approach to UFO sightings, acknowledging that man-made and natural phenomena can account for many.

The Extraterrestrial Biological Entity Page

http://www.ee.fit.edu/users/lpinto/index.shtml

A wealth of information on the cover-up, the conspiracy, sightings, and even a Newsweek poll. Even the staunchest skeptic will find enough articles, reports, images, and stories to make him or her think twice. This site also features a helpful search index-great idea-and EBELink, which gives you annotated links to sites on many related topics. For the participation-minded, there are plenty of discussion boards and even a chat room. The author adds a disclaimer, stating he's not responsible for lost time, unexplained scars, brightly colored lights in the sky, or other signs and symptoms.

The EXTRATERRESTRIAL Page

http://www.primenet.com/~kjtar/et.html

Text-heavy site with lots of information; the author's exchange of letters with President Clinton about Area 51, and the responses, are pretty interesting. There's also a NASA links page, where you can see many photos and images, a link to the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, the author's report of a trip he took to the Little A'Le'Inn and the Area 41 Research Center in Nevada.

PBS' Nova Solves UFO and Alien Abduction Phenomena!

http://lovecraft.cc.utexas.edu/clarity/Nova-Abduction/index.html

Describes the plight of Budd Hopkins' work with PBS, and PBS's handling of the material. Hopkins, who has written two books on alien abductions, accuses the show of a message that "...all people who claim to be abductees are delusional, victims of repeat hallucinations...". The site also has links to letters exchanged between Nova's producers and abductees who were interviews for the show.

PPG: Faking UFOs

http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~vdmeulen/deeper/Articles/UFOfake.html

For the Web's flip side of the UFO phenomena, try this site. The author explains how to create your own UFOs and crop circles, and apparently, the fakes work quite well! Reports from many contributors relate creating their own pranks or being the victim of one.

UFO Joe, Canadian UFOs & Aliens

http://cron-2.mco.on.ca:80/web/ufojoe/

For our northern neighbors, here's a site devoted to UFO sightings in Canada. You'll also find links to all kinds of Canadian UFO-related organizations, lists of books, and a whole page of links to articles about MIBs (Men in Black-the actual people, not the movie).

UFO Master Index

http://www.ufomind.com/ufo/

This site claims to be the world's largest database of UFO links. I can't verify that, but there is a ton o' stuff here. Check out the UFO sightings organized geographically-fascinating. You can also read some detailed reviews of excellent books on UFOs.

You've waited for it, and here it is-the home page for X-Philes. You'll find all sorts of X-Files information, from fan club news to episode surveys and guides and frequently asked questions. There are also lots of links to other X-Files-related sites.

The X-Files

http://www.thex-files.com/

And here's the more "official" X-Files site...You'll find well-organized sections on bios of the principals and staff, an episode guide, show information, videos and collectibles, and a fan forum. This site is one of the hardest to see that I've run across; the gray text on a black background is extremely hard to read, and the shadowy photo of Mulder and Scully on the welcome page is barely discernible. (Note for you hardcore X-Philes: They misspelled Mitch Pileggi's name!)

VOODOO

A thorough table of contents leads you to in-depth information on the history and practices of vodun (voodoo). Click a topic that interests you to go to well-written articles with fascinating photos. I'd suggest checking out the glossary first to familiarize yourself with some of the terms; however, these terms are also hyperlinks within the articles, which makes it easy to look them up as you read. This site even offers a bibliography, index, and list of other Internet resources. The latter is excellent, ranging from a newsgroup (alt.religion.orisha) to online voodoo stores.

Superb graphics make this voodoo page worth visiting. Think of your question, click the "begin" hyperlink, and then take a look at some voodoo tarot cards (with beautiful, compelling illustrations) and an interpretation of their meanings (just for the record, and the cards do change with each visit). Links also can be found to Mardi Gras pages.

Brenna's Page

http://www.argyll.demon.co.uk/

You'll find a medley of information here, including a great page of links to sites on pagan and Wicca beliefs. Cool graphics, little animations (I especially liked the one of Felix the Cat), music, photos, and a lively writing style make this an engaging site to visit. And, Brenna is a self-professed pagan and witch who tries to set the record straight on what that means.
