The public figures who believe in the mystical significance of numbers
by The Independent.
Ridiculed by scientists, mathematicians and sceptics, numerology has struggled for acceptance alongside other predictive pseudo-sciences such as astrology and Feng Shui, but a growing number of celebrities including Prince (see opposite), Yusuf Islam (formerly known as Cat Stevens) and Winona Ryder are using humble digits to interpret personalities, to explain current events, or even to predict the future.

Enlightened Medicine Found in Dark Ages by LiveScience.
Religion and other spiritual practices may have guided the way for Medieval populations in their quest to keep themselves and each other healthy, but people didn't always put blind faith in God. "There are some Medieval texts out there that try to convince you that health was connected to spiritual goodness," Lee said, but "there was always a certain amount of propaganda by the Church."

Turin Shrouds Its Magic, Black and White, in Plain Sight by Whasington Post.

Turin is a magical city -- but not the kind of magic one associates with dreamy fantasylands or Disney. Case in point: In a candle-lit wine bar in the Quadrilatero Romano, a buddingly hip district for wining and dining in central Turin, two 20-something locals were trying to show me which city landmarks can be connected to make up a Satanic pentagram. A growing chorus of dissenters began to surround our table, everyone throwing out their own versions of the five-pointed star.

Do UFOs really exist? by the Scotsman.
The Ministry of Defence has for the first time opened its real-life 'X Files', detailing how its experts have examined photographs of UFOs hovering over the UK. While the images range from the baffling to the risible, there is no doubting the seriousness that officials reserve for the issue of extraterrestrial life. Correspondence between the MoD and members of the public who report sightings of strange objects reveals that Whitehall mandarins remain "totally open-minded" about the existence of UFOs.

The diaspora according to mystics by The Inquirer.
The mystics see the Philippines as part of the old, old spiritual world of the planet, of Lemuria, the land of Mu, of pre-recorded time, that was submerged millions and millions of years ago. (Mu refers to their spaceships). Lemuria was a humongous continent that supposedly included parts of California (USA), extending to the mountains of South America, and on the right side, to Japan, then to Indonesia and Sumatra, then even lower to Australia and back up again to India and the Middle East (Chic Fortich). Its center is allegedly the Philippines.

Interview With Exorcist Jose Antonio Fortea by Spero News.
FORTEA: Pornography debilitates the spiritual strength of the soul but does not provoke possession. Black magic does provoke possession because it involves invoking the devil. The occult arts are quite varied; in my books, I analyze each one as to their harmfulness. For example, divination is a sin but does not provoke possession. However, voodoo is indeed a cause of possession for those who practice it.
