The Top Apps For Occultists
The expansion of cable television into so many people’s homes in recent years has brought about a trend in programming content. During the ill-fated housing boom, channels were falling over themselves trying to meet the demand for “info-tainment” about real estate – flipping houses, remodeling kitchens, cleaning up unused spaces, manufacturing “man caves”, increasing curb appeal, renovating rooms on a thousand-dollar budget. Nowadays… Not so much.
A Ghost of a Chance
When it comes to red-meat ratings, another popular subject has been the occult. This covers all manner of sub-topics. There are ghost hunters, exorcists, sensitives, mediums, mentalists, magicians and even people with dousing rods. Night-vision cameras have visited every castle, cemetery and crematorium North of the equator, it seems, with advertisers and broadcasters lining up to promote their fare.
Interactive on Another Plane
Some of the shows have gone not just viral, but also interactive. Ghost Hunters has made some profitable hay from their Halloween Night specials, during which people can go online to add their comments or suggestions about the live action taking place on the screen – albeit mostly in green-and-white. People have been able to use their mobile phones to stay on top of the action, and to put in their two cents worth, or to share their own paranormal experiences.
Whether one is an armchair psychic or a dedicated practitioner of the so-called Black Arts, today’s Internet-connected mobile phones offer a number of apps that can keep you up to date with the spirit world. Wiccans (also known, in less sensitive circles, as “witches”) in particular will find free apps that can help them keep up with rituals, calendar dates and the Golden Dawn compass. There are also apps that display and explain the moon’s phases, and even an e-reader app that can download all manner of materials and literature about the occult. It’s not magic – it’s your mobile phone.
