Invisibility Cloaks on the Horizon?

Invisibility has a long and storied occult tradition. It is one of the advanced Siddhis, paranormal powers developed through spiritual growth and attainment in Hinduism and Tantric Buddhism, and has long been associated with higher sorcery in Western Occultism.

The Rosicrucians had a rite of invisibility (the were known as the Invisible Order, after all.) Noted occultist Israel Regardie mentions a ritual of invisibility in The Golden Dawn: The Original Account of the Teachings, Rites & Ceremonies of the Hermetic Order. Regardie also had an extensive background in yoga and Eastern philosophy.

Perhaps not so surprisingly, the book Invisibility: Mastering the Art of Vanishing references a method for occult invisibility that uses the same principle as the one mentioned in the articles below - bending the light so as to reduce reflection.

Spontaneous Human Invisibility has also been noted in certain individuals, which probably comes in handy when the rent is due.

Scientists have taken another step toward the goal of rendering objects invisible using high-tech cloaks that redirect light.
