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.
