Is there a link between science and the occult? Are psychic phenomena natural rather than super-natural?

In this revised and updated controversial book, Serena Roney-Dougal breaks down the traditionally-held barriers between science and magic. She points to a common ground that links developments in the new sciences with the ancient wisdom of the various occult and spiritual traditions.

We share the exciting results of her research on the scientific validation of psychic phenomena. Drawing on her ground-breaking work on the pineal gland - something called the third eye - and the phenomenon of second sight, she shows that the greatest implication of psychic phenomena is that each of us is potentially aware of the natural magic of our earth and of everything in the universe.
