Entitled "Two Captured Ghosts" the auction had reached a top price of NZ$62 ($47) after 35 bids yesterday (AEDT). The auction description claims the spirits were captured by an exorcist from a spiritual church at a property in Christchurch, the largest city on New Zealand's South Island.

William Ramesey was an Englishman who lived in the 17th Century. He was a student of what is now called Electional Astrology, which means astrology which predicts auspicious times to engage in certain activities. The following is an excerpt from his Book Astrologia Restaurata, or Astrology Restored, published in 1653. The topic is the correct time to engage in Venereal Sports, or, as modern people would call it, sex.

I have very freely edited the text to remove Latin and other impediments to 21st century readers. Wouldst thou be versed in things of this nature, thou must warily then follow thy rules: [Latin edited out] ["for bodily strength when for love you lie with a woman"] let the Moon be in Aries, Leo, Libra or Capricorn, for that they are of strength and power; and let her be in benevolent configuration with Mars or Venus, or both;

For applying to Mars she causeth multum sperma (much sperm); to Venus, ["to pass the time with mutual joy and to show delight"]. But see that she [the Moon] apply not to Saturn, [Latin edited out] because that signifies hindrance, frigidity and loathing But to apply to the Sun is good for that signifieth [Latin edited out] "great love among both parties that have commerce", i.e. have sex. Let not the Moon be in Pisces for that oftentimes Infirmities come thereby, but Gemini, Libra or Aquarius are not to be rejected , [Latin edited out]"they signify delight and joy" If the Moon be in configuration of Jupiter the woman will refrain & etc. [Latin edited out]"Observe if you wish to lie with a woman without conception" Let the Moon be in Gemini, Leo Virgo applying to Venus and in no configuration to Jupiter and be sure thou not place here in Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces. Some of the Ancients say, that [Latin edited out] "If the Moon aspects Mars that conception does not take place" But know that Venus in the Ascendant in Libra or Pisces, [Latin edited out] "gives joy and delight". Know that the Moon in prolificall [?] signs, as the Ascendant or 5th house denotes the contrary: Still remember to vary your rules and order them according to discretion, and you cannot err.

In India today couples always consult astrologers before their marriages to be told the most auspicious time to marry. This consultation also includes the specific time of day to tie the knot, even if the chosen time is an otherwise odd minute or hour.

Apparently this ritual was also follwed in Europe, at least until the Industrial Revolution, when astrology lost much of its influence in the West.

Although it is no longer high fashion in the West, there are astrologers who still offer this service. One of these astrologers unearthed a 17th century book which explained the desired astrological indices of a good marriage. That book Astrologia Restaurata by William Ramesey suggests the following:

We look first to the planets that rule the first and seventh houses and represent the groom and bride to be. We wish to see these planets in a good Zodiacal state and making an applying sextile or trine with reception. We would also wish to see them placed in good houses. Similarly, we look to the ruler of the tenth house which indicates whether or not they are compatible and will get along well and the ruler of the fourth house which signifies the outcome, for good or ill, of the marriage. We would like see see these house rulers well fortified and in good houses.

The Enigma of Psychic Surgery in the Philippines

A healer and psychic surgeon working in Baguio is Placido Palitayan. He is an extremely confident and skilled psychic surgeon. It was again a privilege to meet, interview, make videos, and work with him. I have a full interview on video with Placido, and this is the transcription following some healing sessions where Placido operated on three people (including me):

How Can Psychic Surgery Work

By: Keith Ward

Psychic surgery started in the Philippines in a spiritualist community. The first well-known psychic surgeon, Eleuterio Terte performed surgery using only his bare hands. Frequently accompanied by his assistant, Tony Adpaoa, he created an opening in the skin and reached in to remove foreign bodies, diseased cells and tumours. The skin miraculously healed after the surgery. Filmed and written about by authors of the book “Into the Strange Unknown”, Ron Ormond and Ormond McGill, it became a subject of interest in the late 1950’s and early 1960’s. The authors, amazed at the authenticity, referred to the surgery as a miracle.

The Brazilian psychic healers of the late 1950’s often used not only their hands but actually made crude incisions with kitchen utensils or non-surgical blades. Jose’ Arigo’ was one of the more famous of those healers. He claimed to have a direct connection to deceased medical doctor, Dr. Fritz. Dr.Fritz became a popular spirit when several other psychic surgeons around the world also made the connection to his spirit.
Many of the Brazilian doctors used methods in psychic surgery that resembled Chiropractic practices, shiatsu massage or Qi Gong. Frequently licensed doctors closed the wounds created by the psychic surgeons in Brazil.

While it was in its heyday, psychic surgery caught the attention of many and became a huge method of creating a cash flow for the surgeon. Several popular magicians, including James Randi, Milbourne Christopher, Penn and Teller and Criss Angel have debunked psychic surgery as a fraud. The surgeons create a flesh fold and make it appear that their hand is going into the abdominal area of the patient. Then they reach into a container of animal entrails, livers, gizzards or even glass, hidden from view and with slight hand movements, make it look as though these are pulled from the sufferer’s body. The wound magically heals since it never existed. The Brazilian patients that received actual lacerations were not so lucky; they had to heal on their own after their surgery.

By the year 1975 the Federal Trade Commission announced that psychic surgery was a hoax and banned all travel tours that transported their clients for psychic surgery. In the year, 1990 the American Cancer Society and the British Cancer society both urged patients that were ill not to seek the help of psychic surgeons but use traditional paths for recovery.

Some still ignore the warnings and prove that psychic surgery doesn’t work. These people are usually the ones that receive hope from no other source. The psychic surgery is their last effort in an attempt not just to cling to life, but to find a cure so the quality of life exists. The late comedian Andy Kaufman was one of these people. In the final stages of incurable cancer, he and his girlfriend went to Baguio, a mountain resort town in Manila. Twice daily he received psychic surgery treatments and seemed, after six weeks, to be getting better. He returned to Los Angeles and suddenly his health deteriorated and he passed quickly. His desire to get better drove him to the psychic surgeon and the belief in the surgery helped him improve his spirits but in the end, it did nothing for his health.

When it comes to psychic prowess, there are a lot of dynamics to consider. Some gifted people have auric sight or the ability to see and understand the changes in another person’s aura. In some cases, people with auric sight also have the psychometric abilities or the power to perceive information by touching an object that belongs to another. There are those who have clairaudience, clairempathy and clairvoyance or the ability of clearly hear, feel emotion and see insights into another person’s future, respectively. Some psychics have telepathic powers, able to communicate with others via thoughts, and some psychics are even known to be powerful enough that they can influence and sway other people’s ideas. But the most amazing psychic abilities of all are the power to heal (psychic healing) and the power to move any object with the mind (psychokinesis.)
