I hope that readers of this newsgroup realize that there is a vast 
difference between academic parapsychology and the practice of
witchcraft and other occult arts.  The former is a scientific discipline,
no different in principle than experimental psychology or physics; the latter
is essentially a belief system.

Whether there are any legitimate connections between occult beliefs 
and claims and the small magnitude, statistical psi effects as revealed 
in the laboratory, remains to be seen.
