Occult Eye from LA-based Bibliomancers 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.
For UK folk-horror/TV fans (of a certain age) - there is a Penguin paperback Catweazle cover included - Catweazle!
