Examples include the work of film and media theorist [[Jeffrey Sconce]] and religious studies scholar [[John Durham Peters]], both of whom suggest that occult movements historically utilize media and apparatuses as tools to reveal hidden aspects of reality or laws of nature.{{sfn|Sconce|2000|pp=21ff}}{{sfn|Peters|2012|pp=188ff}} [[Erik Davis]] in his book ''Techgnosis'' gives an overview of occultism both ancient and modern from the perspective of cybernetics and information technologies.{{sfn|Davis|2015}} Philosopher [[Eugene Thacker]] discusses [[Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa]]'s ''[[Three Books of Occult Philosophy]]'' in his book ''In The Dust Of This Planet'', where he shows how the horror genre utilizes occult themes to reveal hidden realities.{{sfn|Thacker|2011|pp=49β97}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
