If a person remembers an event that lacks another witness or corroborative physical evidence, the validity of the memory may be questioned—but not dismissed. It might be said that absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, but validation has the highest priority. For instance, one might say that there are scores of secret elephants with wings; as difficult as it may be to disprove such a statement outright, the statement cannot be validated un ...

The belief that certain people worship evil principles or entities, and use magic powers against others, commonly known as witchcraft, is probably as old as mankind and can today still be found in many cultures. For example the early Christian writer Epiphanius of Salamis in the 300s accused the Gnostic sect of the Borborites of extracting fetuses from pregnant women and consuming them. Allegations of Satanic ritual abuse are more complex and include the belief that organised groups systematically and repeatedly torture and kill other ...

Reports of SRA began occurring as early as the 1960s and coinciding with numerous cattle mutilations in the southwest. Following the publication of books purportedly by survivors or perpetrators, concern over SRA became more prominent, and in the 1980s a "Satanic panic" appeared to descend on some American Christian communities. According to the Ontario Consultants on Religious Tolerance, an "SRA industry" sprung up in this period, with self-appointed experts taking money to educate law en ...

Persephone - Persephone Before the Greeks?. Many modern scholars have argued that Persephone's cult was a continuation of Neolithic or Minoan goddess-worship. Among classicists, this thesis has been argued by Gunther Zuntz (Zuntz 1973) and cautiously included by Walter Burkert in his definitive Greek Religion. More daringly, the mythologist Karl Kerenyi has identified Persephone with the nameless "mistress of the labyrinth" at Knossos. On the other hand, the hypothesis of a universal cult of the Earth Mother has come under increasing criticism in recent years. ...

Abduction in you dream indicates wish-fulfilment and is, in general, a good sign of achieving goals which seemed unattainable. Dreaming about being abducted indicates success for you, even if you have a lot of resistance in real life situations. But if you observe someone being abducted, you can expect some unexpected news!

Vanunu was put on trial in Israel on charges of treason and espionage. The trial, held in camera, took place at the District Court in Jerusalem before Chief Justice Eliahu Noam and judges Zvi Tal and Shalom Brener.
