June Bletzer's "Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary" covers a vast array of topics, from nineteenth-century spiritualism to twentieth-century occultism, all the way up to today's many varieties of new age mysticism. Arranged in a dictionary format, her definitions are balanced and fair, making this a very handy and useful reference. I'm a spiritual writer and teacher, and I use this book regularly for my research. One really neat feature is a comprehensive self-study course in the back of the book -- to help the student of psychic studies learn, by recommending a series of entries on related topics to be read in sequential order. What a great concept, making this not only a valuable reference tool, but a textbook as well. If you're doing any kind of serious research into metaphysics or psychic phenomena, I'd say this book is indispensable.

First of all, you need to know that this book has been reprinted. It is now titled "The Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary" and it is available through Amazon.com. This book is a "must have" for all spiritual (and non-spiritual!) people. There are over 8,000 metaphysical definitions, and Dr. Bletzer has included a large section on Parapsychology Study Courses to enable you to develop your psychic skills. I keep this book close at hand as I constantly refer to it...this book should be the first one on your bookshelf!!!

As you read other books, Dr. Bletzer's dictionary will help you understand the different terms, principles and laws, but it is more than a dictionary. Pick a subject and find all the terms that relate to it. Take a complete course in psychic development. Learn about holistic health, biofeedback, channeling healing energy. If you read this book cover to cover, you won't need to read any other books about parapsychology.

This the most complete encyclopedia on psychic, new age, metaphysics, various religions, healing and related areas I have ever come across. I have seen it on many professionals desk as a reference book. I keep my copy close at hand when reading new research or other material. It's priceless when you are trying to find out what a certain concept or word means. I highly recommend it. Dr Bletzer is one of the pioneers of this area and is as modern as today when you find meanings that you thought just came out. It is also just fascinating reading! This book can increase the quality of your life. (signed)Mr David L Youngman

I have found this book to be a excellent source for finding names for what I and my partner have encountered and or experienced. While not always exact(possibly due to preconceptions clouding the definition,by persons who either did not have an"experience", or described theirs differently) it is however the most comprehensive and valuable book of this nature I have found. There are many more "words" I would like to see added to the book. Many things we have experienced are not in the book.

I met June Bletzer in the late 80's. Bletzer was well known in the Tampa, Clearwater, St. Petersburg area. She was a bright soul with a joyful spirit. I purchased my first copy of the Encyclopedic Psychic Dictionary directly and was pleasantly pleased when she autographed it. She was small but dynamic in character. I found the book useful many times in my early days of study. When finding a subject I didn't know - the book was the first step in finding out more. The information was in a short condensed paragraph. Remember this was before the internet was so useful and books were the go to place for information. In using this book, don't overlook the Appendix and select bibliography which is a great place to find titles to additional books to further your reading and studies. I am the author of Never Alone - A True Story

Everything you ever wanted to know about being psychic, in encyclopedia form. Very interesting and very easy to find what you need.

This author did a great service to anyone in metaphysics who needs a quality reference tool.Should be called Metaphysics Encyclopedia though.
