Dr. David Luke will present his Lecture on "Anthropology, Parapsychology & Psychedelics" as part of the Anthropology, Consciousness and Culture Lecture Series to be held at Blackwell's Bookshop, 87 Park Street, Bristol, BS1 5PW.

This short ebook is a beginner's introduction to key themes in the anthropology of the supernatural. It aims to situate paranormal experiences and supernatural beliefs within a much broader framework through taking a cross-cultural approach. It is hoped that this approach will not only give the reader a greater appreciation of the variety of supernatural beliefs and paranormal experiences prevalent in the world’s cultures, but also that it will allow for a more in-depth, and so better informed, appreciation of similar issues within Euro-American culture. Through taking a cross-cultural approach and comparing different traditions of experience and belief we can move towards a greater understanding of what is really going on in these experiences. It is the author's hope that the book inspires readers to explore this fascinating field in greater depth.
