an open source text project, focused on book-length texts, in English, covering Spiritualism, the occult, New Thought and allied parasciences (mesmerism, magnetism, phrenology, alchemy, chiromancy and so forth) published between 1790 and 1940. Currently [in 2017] the SSOC consists of more than 3,500 book-length texts (more than 2.1 million pages) by over 300 authors, and includes many of the texts considered "classics" in Spiritualism and the occult.
