The idea of past lives and reincarnation is one of the oldest religious and philosophical ideas on the planet. Even though modern Christianity looks down on such thoughts, a large majority of past cultures widely embraced it. Past life regression is basically a technique that uses hypnosis (either solitary and individually lead or performed by an outside source like an actual past life therapist) in order to recover memories of past incarnations of a person’s soul and their past lives.

There are many types of psychics offering all different kinds of predictions. Many of these psychics are just after money and are really more of a magician than a medium. Then you have the ancient prophets who spoke so vaguely that their “predictions” can be applied to just about any circumstance. We also have the great Mayan prediction of 2012, which is less a prediction and more of just some guys running out of space on a rock. The five predictions presented here were made very much by accident, some tongue in cheek remarks that turned out to come true, others works of fiction that became shockingly real.

A conspiracy theory is not really a theory at all, but is a term usually associated with an alternate account of history or an event that usually involves a person or group of people (conspirators) secretly plotting the outcome of events and then successfully passing said event off as a natural occurrence that involved no secret plotting. Many conspiracy theories do hold some water, while others are absolutely insane. Here are five of the craziest conspiracy theories.

Spotting the magic of nature is one of the easiest ways to see the powers of the supernatural in the real world. Mother Earth encompasses so many forces that can seem like the most basic components of magic—transformations like a seed into a plant or destructive forces of water that can wear down rocks and soil. Mankind’s acknowledgment of the magic in nature makes humans want to be closer to these supernatural forces by being closer to the Earth. Since animals constantly live in nature and are considered to be an integral part of it, more so than humans anyway, people have been reaching out to animals to use them as a transitional medium into the magical realm. Many cultures believe in searching for animal spirit guides who act as messengers from the supernatural. The characteristics of the animal that chooses you acts as a message in itself for problems in your life and then can serve as a protective totem to watch over your well being in life. These animals can come into your life different ways when you request their presence—whether physically showing up near you or appearing in a dream. Some of the most common totems (or families of spirit animals) are listed below. While each animal is its own unique guide and mentor, these main groups tend to be similar in certain ways.

We’ve all heard the buzz about acupuncture “working” in rats, homeopathic suicides, and other general conflict arising from the struggle between doctors and practitioners of alternative medicines. It seems as if, for every legitimate medicine bad old Big Pharma releases, there’s a corresponding pseudoscientific claim for a treatment that also “works”, generally in conjunction with energy fields, spirit worlds, and psychic health. Here’s a couple of the oddest cures to crop up (and make a whole lot of money) in relatively modern medicine.

Many cultures, civilizations, and religions speak about disembodied spirits who can potentially invade the living bodies of humans, taking them over to control their physical form to their own wishes. The modern Catholic Church is one of the institutions that not only believes in the idea of a regular human but even promotes it to some extent by having their own investigation teams and exorcism specialists. However, in the past the Church (due to science’s lack of knowledge about the human brain and associated mental conditions) has made the mistake of persecuting and violently “exorcising” people who suffer from psychiatric illnesses. A couple centuries ago any person with Tourette’s syndrome or various forms of psychosis such as Schizophrenia were considered to be demonically possessed as their conditions provided the public with reason to regard them in that light. Modern science has made leaps and bounds in the area of analysis in the human brain and the concept of mental illness has been absorbed by the common public. Even the Church has come to accept the latest discoveries about sicknesses of the mind, despite the fact that the Catholic Church and science have always been butting heads with each other. Now that mental illnesses have found their place away from the concept of demonic possession, a true study of the warning signs of possession can be compiled. Think that someone close to you or even you might be being used by an evil spirit or demon? Here are some things to look out for…
