I’m not going to pretend that scouring the world’s occult news is hard, but it’s not as easy as one might imagine, either. There are ever-changing lists of exclusions I have to make from my news searches and alerts. For instance, the word ‘occult’. I have to screen articles relating to colon, colorectal, fecal and faecal because occult describes blood that has wound it’s way through the digestive system and can be a key screening test in detecting colorectal cancer. I have to rearrange entertainment related exclusion lists according to what’s new to theaters and DVD. Right now Twilight and Underworld are mucking up a lot of my searches but nothing compares to the havoc Harry Potter wrought. It was a nightmare trying to pick out bits of occult news from the Potter media deluge. Searches relating to Satan and Satanism bring up a lot of metal, but also Muslim extremist essays railing against the evil United States.
Boo fucking hoo. Anyway, on to the news.
