SHAKE THE HIDDEN HAND

CARMEL SEYMOUR

The human experience of the supernatural began when we were faced with the peculiarities of the everyday natural world. Pre organised religion, a sky full of glowing green auroras or a pareidolic representation in a rock face, was enough to invoke a great spirit in anyone. 

In searching for explanations of these feelings of wonder and awe our predecessors created our earliest pagan and magical traditions. They lived in a romantic’s paradise-lost where metaphysical dreaming stood along other accepted wisdom as possibility, not fantasy.
