Cattle Mutilations and Occult Weirdness
After a couple of weeks had passed, I cranked out a four-part blog post series at my other blog:
Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, and Part 4.
But I left something out: what I called my "Berlitz full-immersion summer course in occult weirdness."
I did write about that aspect of the experience for Fate magazine back in 1988. But I seem to have outsmarted myself and "filed" that issue in some very special place. It is not in the Box of Magazines in Which I Published Articles.
Naturally it is not available online, being from 1988. Too bad, because I had thought of scanning the pages and putting them on the web site.
Perhaps I could find a copy somewhere if there was sufficient demand.

Excellent!
Gross, but excellent.
I've been interested in the topic of people blaming the occult for supposed animal mutilation deaths ever since a fellow artist "informed" me that Satanists/Pagans torture and kill cats around Halloween.
I felt snopes dot come really let people down on this one.
I started my own page on the topic and would like to refer to your entry.
Karen, you are welcome to link to my posts.
Thank you!
I hadn't thought of this distinction until I read your blog posts about cattle mutilation, but it might be useful.
Cattle mutilation (and a host of other odd topics) do form part of popular occulture. But they are not really a part of occultism (except for us being willing to toss everything into the same pop cultural pot and hope for resolution into soup we can eat with our runcible spoons).
