A classic?and a monumental technical work unequaled in the fields of parapsychology and holistic philosophy. Compiled for the researcher, student, or professional by June Bletzer, PhD, it boasts over... This description may be from another edition of this product.
June Bletzer's "Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary" covers a vast array of topics, from nineteenth-century spiritualism to twentieth-century occultism, all the way up to today's many varieties of new age mysticism. Arranged in a dictionary format, her definitions are balanced and fair, making this a very handy and useful reference. I'm a spiritual writer and teacher, and I use this book regularly for my research. One really neat feature is a comprehensive self-study course in the back of the book -- to help the student of psychic studies learn, by recommending a series of entries on related topics to be read in sequential order. What a great concept, making this not only a valuable reference tool, but a textbook as well. If you're doing any kind of serious research into metaphysics or psychic phenomena, I'd say this book is indispensable.
the reference source I use in my psychic research

I have found this book to be a excellent source for finding names for what I and my partner have encountered and or experienced. While not always exact(possibly due to preconceptions clouding the definition,by persons who either did not have an"experience", or described theirs differently) it is however the most comprehensive and valuable book of this nature I have found. There are many more "words" I would like to see added to the book. Many things we have experienced are not in the book.
A book every spiritual seeker should own.

As you read other books, Dr. Bletzer's dictionary will help you understand the different terms, principles and laws, but it is more than a dictionary. Pick a subject and find all the terms that relate to it. Take a complete course in psychic development. Learn about holistic health, biofeedback, channeling healing energy. If you read this book cover to cover, you won't need to read any other books about parapsychology.
Outstanding Source Document for Psychic, New Age, Metaphysic

This the most complete encyclopedia on psychic, new age, metaphysics, various religions, healing and related areas I have ever come across. I have seen it on many professionals desk as a reference book. I keep my copy close at hand when reading new research or other material. It's priceless when you are trying to find out what a certain concept or word means. I highly recommend it. Dr Bletzer is one of the pioneers of this area and is as modern as today when you find meanings that you thought just came out. It is also just fascinating reading! This book can increase the quality of your life. (signed)Mr David L Youngman
