Art Bell welcomes Dr. Evelyn Paglini, a parapsychologist and self-described spiritual warrior born into a centuries-old family of occult practitioners. Art vouches for her authenticity, noting that his late wife Ramona was close to Paglini and practiced the craft. Paglini explains that witchcraft involves manipulating the elements of air, earth, fire, and water, and that magic is a neutral power wielded for good or ill depending on the practitioner.

Paglini issues near-term predictions for 2006 through 2008. She warns of an extremely active hurricane season with at least five major hurricanes making landfall, severe flooding in the Midwest and California, destructive tornadoes, raging wildfires, and two earthquakes exceeding magnitude six. On the economy, she forecasts additional interest rate hikes, a major stock market correction in fall 2006, oil prices reaching 70 dollars per barrel, and a gasoline shortage before year end.

The conversation turns to curses, remote influencing, and government psychic warfare programs. Paglini confirms that curses work through sympathetic magic using personal items tied to a target, and that covert remote influencing operations remain active among world governments. She recommends investing in palladium and building immune systems ahead of a predicted killer flu strain in the 2006-2007 season.

Key Moments

  1. Magic is a neutral power: Paglini rejects the Wiccan 'harm none' framing, arguing magic is a neutral power that the practitioner can wield for good or harm - the same magic helps or destroys.

  2. Mother Nature unleashing the elements: Paglini describes feeling the elements becoming difficult to control during her altar work and predicts a long, active hurricane season with at least five major hurricanes hitting land.

  3. Civil unrest, killer flu, palladium: Paglini predicts riots and quasi-martial law in cities, a killer flu strain in 2006-07 and worse in 2007-08, and recommends palladium as an undervalued precious-metal play.

  4. Curses, sacrifice, and the dark side: Paglini affirms ritual sacrifice exists in secret societies, says nearly half of practitioners lean to the dark side, and admits she has cast many justified curses herself.

  5. Mass consciousness against Hitler: Paglini claims practitioners across England, Europe, and the U.S. coordinated mass-consciousness rituals on Lammas 1940 and the Vernal Equinox 1944 to stop a Nazi invasion and end WWII.
