Hi Nichole, it's a fairly new science though, isn't it? 20 years ago most of these notions would have been thought as the ravings of a lunatic, or "Burn the witch for her blasphemy!" Well, back in the 1800's anyway.
Granted, I agree that a lot of bunk has followed up behind these new, wonderful, enlightening ideas and theories of the merging of science and metaphysics = quantum physics and eventually the merger of all wisdom = MAJIC. Well not that far fetched considering what the ancient were once capable of doing. But then the great illusion prevents us from seeing what's truly behind the scenes.
Well whether it be sci fi, old wives tails, mythology, legend, traditions, urban legend, fantasy, folk lore, etc etc, even these have some origin in truth, some phenomena that certainly had the attention of the ancient. Anyway if nothing else it makes for some pretty good educational entertainment, and I thank you for obliging.
