November 18th is Occult Day!

Occult Day is a mysterious day, outside the realm of the normal and natural world.

Concealed, secret, hidden, mysterious, un-natural. These are all words to describe the world of Occult.
Astrology should readily come to mind. Alchemy, too. Many secret groups are occults.

How do you partake and enjoy Occult Day? It's a cinch! Join or start a secret society. Get out the ouija board. Visit an Astrologer.
Or just sign on to get emails from the DNC or BarackObama.org.

Have a mysteriously Happy Occult Day!!!

The word occult comes from the Latin word occultus (clandestine, hidden, secret), referring to "knowledge of the hidden".^[1] In the medical sense it is used to refer to a structure or process that is hidden, e.g. an "occult bleed"^[2] may be one detected indirectly by the presence of otherwise unexplained anemia.

The word has many uses in the English language, popularly meaning "knowledge of the paranormal", as opposed to "knowledge of the measurable",^[3]^[4] usually referred to as science. The term is sometimes popularly taken to mean "knowledge meant only for certain people" or "knowledge that must be kept hidden", but for most practicing occultists it is simply the study of a deeper spiritual reality that extends beyond pure reason and the physical sciences.^[5] The terms esoteric and arcane can have a very similar meaning, and the three terms are often interchangeable.^[6]^[7]

The term occult is also used as a label given to a number of magical organizations or orders, the teachings and practices taught by them, and to a large body of current and historical literature and spiritual philosophy related to this subject.

Ttry and find the hidden bean man inside this coffee pile below. It shouldn’t be too hard, though. Still, it depends how you approach the problem. Don’t let previous Coffee illusions guide you in this quest. Funny thing is that the person hidden in the image looks somewhat like Afro-American version of McCain.

Today’s word is.................fluctuations.

I was at my bank today; there was a short line. There was just one lady in front of me, an Asian lady who was trying to exchange yen for dollars. It was obvious she was a little irritated.

She asked the teller, “Why it change? Yesterday, I get two hunat dolla fo yen. Today I only get hunat eighty? Why it change?”

The teller shrugged his shoulders and said, “Fluctuations.”

The Asian lady says, “Fluc you white people, too.”
