[NewCandle] Russian jerky momentarily OT

[Nick Reiter]

Ooooh.  I googled it a little bit ago.  How
interesting.  Astronomy domine.

Strange points in the sky (or under my feets)fascinate
the hell out of me.  For what it may be worth, both
psychic research of a (comparatively) reputable sort
and occult tradition speak of a "direction" that seems
to be crucial to psi on one hand or magical whatever
on the other.  A couple of papers by Spotiswoode and
associates talk about how psi scores were higher when
a particular spot was overhead - corresponding to
something like 1300 hours sidereal time.  On the
occult side, there was the Black Sun society in 1920s
Germany who believed that magical power flowed into
the earth from some invisible point near the
constellation Leo.

The optical axis of the universe is said to
approximate a line passing through the observer from
Aquila to Cygnus.

All of these are not too far off from where I see the
Great Attractor being for an observer in the northern
hemisphere.

How very queer.

Thanks for the heads up on all dat!
