Mutants And Mystics by Jeffrey J. Kripal
A wide-ranging study that reads modern pop culture, science fiction, rock music, sexual deviance and occult practices as legitimate sites of mystical and paranormal experience, arguing that twentieth-century “mutant” phenomena disclose alternative forms of the sacred and challenge orthodox histories of religion; it reinterprets extraordinary encounters—visions, psychic events, and ecstatic practices—as culturally mediated expressions of a deeper human capacity, urging scholars to take these anomalous experiences seriously rather than dismissing them as mere pathology or folklore.
