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:

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.

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!

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.

Your Wate and Fate: CRYSTAL BALLS IN FILM! Tier 3 MARCH 21st, 2023

"Your Wate and Fate" goes to the movies to take a first look at the 20th century's slightly weird obsession with Crystal Balls in Film! From comedies and musicals to action dramas, crime thrillers, and heart-warming family features, crystal balls of all sizes -- but only one shape -- were everywhere in Hollywood from the silent 1910s to the Great Odometer Roll-Over. This collection of annotated images is just the tip of the crystal, and there will be lots more to come as we scan, clean, upload, and identify the turbaned fortune tellers and bejewelled prophetesses who made the movies great.

"Your Wate and Fate" takes in a fast-paced second feature as we continue our look at the 20th century's eccentric portrayal of Crystal Balls in Film! This time the focus is on Niko Tinbergen and the Supernormal Stimuli -- crystal balls so large that entire people can be seen within. Yes, from "The Mask of Fu Manchu" and "The Return of Chandu" to "The Wizard of Oz," it's time to break out the Big Balls! This collection of annotated images in which fortune telling meets iconic pop culture, is not the last of our visions, for there are still more cinematic crystals to scan, clean, upload, and identify, and we have not yet reached the end of the turbaned racketeers and veiled prophetesses who made the movies marvelous.

This week we have assembled another trove of Horror, Fantasy, Sci-Fi, and Mystery with a never-before-seen collection of annotated images in which fortune tellers run wild in the streets, committing every crime from fraud and blackmail to suicide and murder!

The Crystal Ball Film Festival is back! -- as "Your Wate and Fate" presents Part Five of Hollywood's strange obsession with Crystallomancy in Cinema! We thought we had reached the end last week, but that prediction proved premature, as dozens more rare posters, lobby cards, and publicity stills came tumbling out of the vaults to enlighten, surprise, offend, and scare the whiskers off of today's internet occultists. You'll believe it when you see it, and for a couple of dollars a week, you WILL see it, as we bring you Hollywood's most exciting array of movie metaphysicians, staring into the darling bane of prop masters everywhere, the lucent Crystal Ball.

You know, i have been writing new Patreon pages every week since January 2021, and it's a shame that fewer than 100 people get to see these special features. So far, as of today, 119 of these new pages have been published, thanks to my Patrons!

Eventually, after a year, i do edit them and place them before the public for free, but if you have a couple of bucks to spare ($8.00 per month), i guarantee i will give you four fantastic new illustrated web pages every month on occultism, spirituality, divination, fortune telling, herb magic, hoodoo history, and metaphysics in popular culture.

Don't take my word for it -- more than 50 of these pages are now public, so check out what has ALREADY been released by going to any of my Patreon-sponsored web sites. Each site has a different theme -- from tea leaf reading to the ways in which the USDA tried to destroy herbal medicine, and from conjure spells as related by former slaves to Hollywood's crazy crystal balls.

http://YourWateandFate.com
"Your Wate and Fate" --
The Material Culture of Popular Fortune Telling.

http://SouthernSpirits.org
"Where the Southern Cross the Yellow Dog" --
Hoodoo History Told Through Rare Primary Documents.

"The Mystic Tea Room" --

"Leaves from the Root Doctor''s Garden" --

http://Yronwode.org
"The Yronwode Institution" --

Without the help of my Patrons, none of these sites or pages would exist -- so please, consider supporting me as i uncover the hidden material culture of magic and fortune telling in America.

As part of the launch of my book, "Astrology for Rootworkers," which will be distributed at the 2023 Virtual Hoodoo Heritage Festival, June 10th - 11th, i am developing a heavily illustrated bio-bibliography commemorating Prof. A. F. Seward (1877-1965) for the public to marvel at. This week "Your Wate and Fate" features yet more photos, artwork, and text drawn from my 12 years of serious research into the life of the man who invented Sun-Sign Astrology! My Patrons have been funding this project, and once again i want to express my humble indebtedness to those who have helped me compile this important historical web page. This week in "Professor A. F. Seward, Part Three" we begin to see how his interest in ancient Egyptology and contemporary Arabic culture led him to produce horoscopes "In the Shadow of the Mosque."

"Astrology for Rootworkers" has shipped from the printers and will debut at the 2023 Virtual Hoodoo Heritage Festival, June 10th - 11th, as nagasiva and i continue to expand our heavily illustrated bio-bibliography honouring Prof. A. F. Seward (1877-1965). We have to have the page finished by the time the book is released to the public, and we are adding new images and text daily. This week "Your Wate and Fate" offers more photos, artwork, and text drawn from my 12 years of obsessed research into the life of the eccentric Scorpio who invented Sun-Sign Astrology! My Patrons have been funding this project, and also want to thank Faith Elliott, who found me through social media, another Seward fan, who is in correspondence with me and contributing a whole lot of biographical information as we compile this complex historical web page. This week in "Professor A. F. Seward, Part Four" we take a stroll on the Atlantic City Boardwalk and venture out to Biscayne Boulevard in Miami. And there is still a LOT more to come -- and two more weeks before we open to the public!

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. Read the page below for a rare look at hard-core methods of cursing and killing with conjure, as collected and published by black folklorists in the 19th century. This unique perspective on African-American magic is unmediated by white academic theorizing, and consists of two dozen spells to bring about illness and loss of life.

And, once again, thank you, my Patrons, for making this possible.

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



Nagasiva and i have added more content and more images to our obsessively illustrated and annotated bio-bibliography, presenting Prof. A. F. Seward (1877-1965) to the modern astrological public. This is our FIFTH pass through the page in as many weeks, and we will make one more pass through before we release my new book, "Astrology for Rootworkers," at the 2023 Virtual Hoodoo Heritage Festival, June 10th - 11th, and release this monomaniacal web page for all to see. This week "Your Wate and Fate" offers more photos, artwork, and text drawn from my 12 years of unremitting research into the life of the secretive Scorpio who popularized Sun-Sign Astrology. My Patrons have been funding this project, and i also want to thank Faith Elliott, who found me through social media, and who is in correspondence with me and contributing biographical information as we compile this complex look at a man who had almost as many pseudonyms as he had birthplaces. This week in "Professor A. F. Seward, Part Five" we linger longer "Under the Shadow of the Mosque," where astrology infolds and Orientalism is in bloom. And there is still a LOT more to come -- one more week before we open to the public!

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 a new web page every week on the history of folk magic and divination. This week, we leap into the past, exploring the tea rooms of bygone America, specifically in Massachusetts, a state replete with historical buildings, old mills, hooked rugs, and colonial-style furniture. On today's journey we will visit 16 towns and 16 tea rooms, some long vanished and some still in use as eateries. One was destroyed by a hurricane, and you will even see the sad aftermath of that event.

Thank you, Patrons, for making this possible. Go to

to find the newly public page, and please consider supporting me on Patreon so i can keep on working on "It's All Ephemera!"

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



Nagasiva and i have piled on more text and more images to our profusely illustrated and annotated bio-bibliography of the "World's Foremost Astrologer," Prof. A. F. Seward (1877-1965). This week we present Prof. Seward to the modern astrological community in his role as a global tourist, who sought out and studied with elder astrologers in Egypt, India, and Japan during the era between the two World Wars. This is our SIXTH and FINAL pass through the A. F. Seward page before it debuts to the public this weekend when my own new book, "Astrology for Rootworkers," is distributed to attendees at the 2023 Virtual Hoodoo Heritage Festival, June 10th - 11th. At that point the A. F. Seward page will be free for all to see, and my book will go on sale world wide. This week "Your Wate and Fate" offers yet more photos and text drawn from my 12 years of unrelenting research into the life of the "World's Foremost Astrologer."

My Patrons have been funding this project, and i also want to again thank Faith Elliott, who is in correspondence with me and contributing biographical information as we compile this complex look at a man who had almost as many pseudonyms as he had birthplaces. This week, in "Professor A. F. Seward, Part Six," we take a peek at the myriad spots on the globe he touched down!
