The campaign for NV funds is up!
You can check out the campaign here - http://igg.me/at/xroommod/x/3792012
Seriously give it a look so you can grab yourself a cool shirt with one of the designs below(or a poster or other interesting things, go see for yourself!)
Be sure to let me know what you think and if there are any perks I missed that you'd like me to add. I can always add more perks if you hate cool stuff. I'm kidding. Dont be afraid to let me know what you want in a perk, its important.
Equally important are your suggestions and ideas for experiments. Last week I got around to a suggestion from Dimitri1105, among others, and that was a Ganzfeld experiment.
You can watch the video below
Now I do call it a complete failure at the end of the video but some of you with an eye for detail might notice that both of the 5 digit numbers actually consists of 4 matching numbers and one pair that didnt match; the 2 and the 9. Given theyre out of place though, in the wrong order I mean, the odds arent that incredible. Its easily within chance for that to happen. Had the 2 and 9 not been off I would have honestly been impressed by matching all 5 digits in the wrong order.
Like I said at the end this doesnt discredit Ganzfeld experiments for telepathy at all, its 1 drop in an ocean of experiments similar to this, most done with a much more controlled environment than what I was using. I might also attempt more of these in the future.
I can think of ideas like multiple senders, multiple receivers, strangers as opposed to people with personal relationships or blood relation, even animals under the right conditions. Lots more as well but thats all for later.
Speaking of later I was reading earlier about the history of sacrificial altars and how many thousands of years they date back. It really makes me curious as to when and how the idea first appeared in human history. Without a time machine we pretty much cant know for certain but reading about different cultures altars and forms of sacrifice is very interesting.
In some cases an offering might be burned so that its ashes would rise up to where a god might be and in the case of specific dieties the opposite would be to let the blood of a sacrificed animal pool onto the ground instead. Perhaps for someone like Hades.

Always interesting.
I was also reading that there is archeological evidence of early man collecting bear skulls in a cave, with a form of altar, that was dated to be in use sometime around 100,00 BC. This information is readily available in Man, Myth & Magic Volume 1.
That amazes me but I cant find documentation of it readily on the net so I cant link a source online other than the book. At least not without spending a lot more time digging.
I can find the source for evidence from around 480 BC. which you can read up on at the most likely place.

480 BC. Thats nowhere near the earliest evidence either. There is almost no way that whatever rituals they practiced in that time are recorded well enough to be accurately recreated today but that doesnt mean we cant take our best educated guess.
Food for thought.
Oh and I finally updated the icon for the youtube channel. If youre curious where it came from it was a suggestion from a peer and the original painting was done by this man - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Osman_Spare
Its not just interesting looking, its legitimately linked to the occult through the creator. If you have the time you should read a little about him. Its also featured in one of the videos on the channel because it is in fact the cover for the 1st volume of Man, Myth & Magic which is a series of encyclopedia covering a huge range of topics related to the paranormal.
Once again be sure to check out the indiegogo campaign and I'll be keeping everyone updated!
