Talk:Supernaturalism

I think this article should be expanded with a clear focus on the religiosity of supernaturalism. The Supernatural page currently defines supernatural as "that which is not subject to the laws of physics or, more figuratively, that which is said to exist above and beyond nature." Thus, the supernaturalism page should not focus on instances of the supernatural, but groups that share common beliefs in the supernatural. I have found a few sources on a variety of traditions that may be worth exploring.

Christianity: Case, Shirley Jackson. "The Origins of Christian Supernaturalism." University of Chicago Press, 1946.

Iranian Spiritualities: Amanolahi, Sekandar. "Supernaturalism among the Pastoral Societies of Iran." Iran & the Caucasus: 11.1, 2007.

Vietnamese Spiritualities: Do, Thien. Vietnamese Supernaturalism: Views from the Southern Region. Series: Anthropology of Asia. Routledge, 2003.

Wicca: Pearson, Joanne. "Belief beyond boundaries: Wicca, Celtic spirituality and the new age." Ashgate, 2002.

I also think it would be interesting to have a section on Supernaturalism and popular culture. Schofield Clark, Lynn. "From Angels to Aliens: Teenagers, the Media, and the Supernatural." Oxford University Press, 2005. Seems like a great place to start! --Emmaleefk (talk) 19:00, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
