Thanks to the support of my Patrons, there is a vastly enlarged public version of the illustrated and annotated New Thought Bibliography, describing important books and authors of the New Thought Movement of the 19th and 20th centuries. Look for a great deal of additional text and many photos, notes on the 12-volume "Personal Power Books" collaboration between William Walker Atkinson and Edward E. Beals of 1922, and, for the first time ever, some solid information about the rather obscure Mr. Beals.

Find it now at:

The YIPPIE web site includes bibliographies on an array of occult and spiritual topics currently open to the public, for the aid of scholars, researchers, and students at http://yronwode.org

Hello, everyone, and thank you for supporting "It's All Ephemera"!



If you think that locating and cleaning up postcard images for ancient tea rooms is difficult, wait until you start trying to collect business cards for these evanescent and historical businesses and cleaning them up to the condition of bright newness that web browsers desire and require. Suffice it to say, working long hours, we proudly present an even dozen new tea room business cards images for Patrons today, ranging from 1907 through Mid-Century Modern, and located in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

The new material is online now for my Patrons, in gratitude for your support. The public will not view it until February 7th, 2024, at which point it will be open to all, one of many souvenirs of ephemeral times gone by.

The Mystic Tea Room web site is dedicated to the traditional art of fortune telling by tea leaves, also known as tea leaf reading, cup reading, cup tossing, divination by tea leaves, tasseomancy, and tasseography. If you are not yet familiar with the public portion of the site, check it out!

Hello, everyone, and thank you for supporting "It's All Ephemera"!



"Your Wate and Fate" returns once again to the lost world of the psychic readers, numerologists, clairvoyants, astrologers, spirit mediums, tea leaf readers, and cartomancers of the 19th and 20th centuries, revealing their existence through the business cards, flyers, and newspaper advertisements that preceded today's digital social media. A collection of this nature is unusual, to say the least, and we appreciate the support that Your Wate and Fate is gaining from today's psychics, who wish to learn about our spiritual ancestors.

Thanks to my Patrons, who contribute as little as $2.00 per week for an exclusive one-year sneak-peek behind the scenes, i am able to write new web pages every week on the history of folk magic and divination. Here you have the first of my many upcoming collections of postcard sets that contain astrological, floral, and gemstone character readings for the months of the year, often accompanied by poetic verse. There will be more of these to come, when you least expect them!

This week in "It's All Ephemera" we catch up on "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice in Progress," with a complicated annotation to what seems on the surface to be a very simple mojo hand. In this 1938 interview with Informant #863, The Unkus Man, the folklorist Harry M. Hyatt wanders into the weeds and runs afoul of language and concepts for which he was not quite prepared. A little bit of background knowledge makes it all clear, and the true story of "Dr. Delong" and the "leather pell tellman caseman" is revealed. If you like your hoodoo with a sprinkling of kabbalah on the side, you'll love this one!

This illustrated and annotated web page describes rural root doctoring in the early 20th century.

Hoodoo in Theory and Practice: Needles, Pins, and Nails, Tier 1 March 7th, 2023

This week in "It's All Ephemera" the pile of electrons known as "A Hoodoo Hand" is shuffled and dealt -- and the winner is once more "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice in Progress," as i present "Needles, Pins, and Nails," another unwritten chapter of my free online book about African American folk magic. In this episode, the domestic side of conjure is revealed, with a long exegesis on why pins and needles are not the same and how that affects their uses in spell-work. This being an ephemera-centric page, the illustrations are many, varied, and, above all vintage. If you are not a Patron, you will just have to wait, because ...

Hello, everyone, and welcome to "It's All Ephemera"!



"The Hypnotism Bibliography, Part Six at YIPPIE," is the latest episode in my slightly obsessive and magnificently illustrated Hypnotism History series, hosted at The Yronwode Institution for the Preservation and Popularization of Indigenous Ethnomagicology. It's a one-year Patreon exclusive for those who financially support my writing and research. (And no, we're not through with this crazy project yet!)

This time the spotlighted authors run the gamut from showmen to scientists -- just random folks whose rare and valuable books on hypnosis have landed in my untidy office. As always, my reviews are illustrated and annotated. Consider this a would-be want-list for the aspiring hypnotist within you, and take a tour through my personal hypnotism library, gathered over the course of 60 years.

The YIPPIE web site includes bibliographies on an array of occult and spiritual topics and is currently open to the public, for the aid of scholars, researchers, and students at http://yronwode.org
