Abstract / Summary

In Issue 12 of *Revenant: Creative and Critical Studies of the Supernatural*, Associate Professor Jeff Howard and Dr Simon Poole introduce and edit contributions by fifteen contributors of articles, creative pieces, and reviews. This special issue is themed around the Occult, defined etymologically from the root "occultus," which means "hidden" and evokes objects, entities, and experiences beyond the veil of the mundane world. The articles in this special issue each explore multiple branches of occult thought and practice. These branches include various media (the music of Ghost or Coven, the ludic adaptations of the occult in videogames or tabletop games) and themes (the occult science of astrophysics or robotics, as well as the paranormal, synchronicity-driven documentary Hellier). All these articles and more suggest point the way to hidden knowledge beyond this world.
