Rejected Religion

Illuminating the Obscure

Rejected Religion is a platform for diverse topics regarding 'religion', 'spirituality', 'magic', 'occultism', philosophy, art, or any combination of these concepts. My goal is to mediate communication between the academic sphere and mainstream culture.

Now available - the Free Content version of my interview with Dr. Bastiaan van Rijn!
After discussing Mesmerism and the influences of this movement, we also explore Bastiaan's work into afterlife research.
Bastiaan's dissertation uncovers the long, overlooked history of people who used scientific experiments to study life after death—from Mesmerism, Somnambulists, and further to Spiritualists, Spiritists, parapsychologists and near-death researchers. Instead of asking whether their claims are true, it reveals the shared methods and “experimental culture” (revised now to "scientific culture") behind two centuries of afterlife investigation, challenging the idea that science and religion occupy separate worlds.

Rejected Religion

From somnambulists to mediums, from magnetizers to parapsychologists, Dr. Bastiaan van Rijn invites us to consider not just what these researchers claimed to find, but how they tried to find it. What emerges is a rich, transhistorical culture of inquiry—one that challenges our assumptions about science, religion, and the boundaries of legitimate knowledge.
