Product Description
Review
"We are taken to Lemuria by way of Mount Shasta, to Atlantis, to cities beneath the poles, and to the subterranean world: all secret places now below the sea, under the ice or, creepily, beneath our very feet. Loads of stuff, all elegantly presented too. Buy it." --"Fortean Times "(December 2010)
Product Description
Claims of supernatural realms, parallel worlds, and lost civilisations are put to the test in this well-researched guide to the unexplained. Firsthand accounts and historical documents are explored, and in-depth coverage is provided on the mysteries of imagination, culture, perception, consciousness, being, and more. Included are Richard S. Shaver's personal experience of hell - replete with demons and ghouls - modern and ancient accounts of fairyland, life on Mars, alien worlds, parallel universes, and mystery airships. Also examined are the supernatural myths surrounding Mount Shasta, which include accounts of telepathic Lemurians living on its slopes, as reported by "The Los Angeles Times". More than 40 beliefs, doctrines, experiences, and places are described and explored in this truly comprehensive guide to the wacky, weird, and otherworldly.

A great read from Jerome Clark, Clark is no stary eyed believer, he may come across as quite sceptical, but all the cases are researched well, in fact I would say it is some of the best fortean research I have ever read, a must read for all serious forteans and paranormal researchers.

Another major work by Jerome Clark
19 July 2010
Format:Paperback
aFor years I have followed Jerome Clark's many books and articles and have become convinced that he is the most important living chronicler of both the UFO phenomenon and the wildly various regions of the occult. His UFO Encyclopedia has long been an essential reference work for anyone laying claim to the title of UFO researcher, and now, with his new book, Hidden Realms, he has given us a work which performs a similar task for the bizarre and complex world of the occult. Along with compellingly objective readings of various arcane subjects, such as the life forms supposedly flourishing on the planet Venus, or even inside the sun (!), Clark takes us on a subtle tour of the history of astronomy. His knowledge of science is one of the greatest strengths of the book, especially in the way he thoughtfully juxtaposes recent scientific discoveries with related occult belief systems.
For any reader curious about, for example, the Lemurians who live inside Mount Shasta, or "Shavermania" or George Adamski, or the canals on Mars, he/she will find a lucid, fair minded - and fascinating - account in this book. I began reading it with almost no knowledge of the range and history of the occult and with little prior interest, but I was soon devouring it greedily. Clark's writing is so seductive and his material is so weirdly fascinating that the book is almost impossible to put down.
Hidden Realms belongs in every library as an essential reference work, but it also belongs on the bookshelf of anyone even slightly curious about Lost Civilizations and Beings From Other Worlds, the concluding words of the book's title. In Hidden Realms, Jerome Clark has given us yet another magisterial work to set beside his invaluable UFO Encyclopedia.

Uncovering Hidden Realms
10 July 2010
Format:Paperback
Jerome Clark's book searchingly examines modern and historical mythologies of the supernatural and otherworldly, which are sometimes tied to puzzling experiential claims and therefore raise profound questions about how we perceive reality. Hidden Realms is deeply and meticulously researched, well-written and a fascinating read. How much of our world do we human beings actually understand, in our infancy as explorers on this planet? Perhaps there are many other realities and creatures existing along with us, that only a few of us, for some strange reason, ever come in contact with. Or, are these "experience anomalies," as Clark calls them - reported with startling consistency over many centuries - simply aspects of human imagination that transcend time and cultures? Hidden Realms opens up magical worlds that all of us have been touched by since we were children, tapping into the open imaginations that we had then, when all things were possible. Once again, we can cross that line and take a journey that is humbling and awe-inspiring, but this time through the power of solid research. This book reminds us of how little we know, and how great the mysteries are that are all around us, just out of reach. It's a great escape from the darkness that we are all confronting in today's world.

Realms of fantasy or strange realities?
13 July 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is an attractively put together, beautifully and lavishly illustrated book of what Clark calls "experienced anomalies." These are fascinating explorations of realms that may exist, or may only exist in people's fantasies. For instance, we know of Edgar Cayce's remarkable powers of diagnosis and healing, but here we explore his visions and predictions regarding the lost wonders of Atlantis for which no evidence has ever been found.
Clark explores other "secret places" not only on Earth but in an "alternate solar system" and "Between this World and the Otherworld."
Anyone who is interested in the human mind needs to understand these mysterious experiences and beliefs. This volume is a very enjoyable way of exploring them.
