Occult Eye

Bibliomancers continue their survey of 1970s and 80s occult mass market paperbacks with a new special edition of Occult Eye.

Occult Eye takes a closer look at the world of the occult sciences ESP, parapsychology, countercultural spiritualism, iconography of new religious movement, pagan fashion trends with a special examination of the graphics and design elements from 1970s gnostic newspapers. The images inside Occult Eye may tell the story a wider search for meaning during a period of social upheaval following the Vietnam War or betray fears about hidden occult influence fuelled the Satanic Panic. These dynamics shaped a cultural fascination with the mystical that persists today.
