Magic and Nature with Serena Roney-Dougal

Serena Roney-Dougal, PhD, received a doctoral degree the University of Surrey, in the United Kingdom, for a parapsychological dissertation. She is author of Where Science and Magic Meet and The Faery Faith: An Integration of Science and Spirit. She resides in Glastonbury, England, where she serves on the Town Council.

Here she describes magical practices dating back to neolithic times in Britain. She explains that certain sites were used for burials, initiations, and ritual activities. These were carefully coordinated with the seasons and the movement of celestial bodies. She describes her own experience inside an ancient chamber of initiation. She also discusses how people’s experience of supersensible worlds is shaped by the mythology of their culture.

New Thinking Allowed host, Jeffrey Mishlove, PhD, is author of The Roots of Consciousness, Psi Development Systems, and The PK Man. Between 1986 and 2002 he hosted and co-produced the original Thinking Allowed public television series. He is the recipient of the only doctoral diploma in “parapsychology” ever awarded by an accredited university (University of California, Berkeley, 1980).
