Vile Vortices

From The Book of THoTH (Leaves of Wisdom)

The Vile Vortices are twelve areas distributed more or less evenly around the globe that are alleged to have the same qualities as claimed for the Bermuda Triangle. Five are located on a latitude near the Tropic of Capricorn; Five on a latitude near the Tropic of Cancer; and one each at either of the Poles. The most well known Vile Vortices are the Bermuda Triangle itself, the Devil's Sea near Japan, and the South Atlantic Anomaly.

The existence of the Vile Vortices was first advanced by noted naturalist and author Ivan T. Sanderson. Sanderson thought that conflicting air and sea currents in the regions covered by the Vortices contributed to the anomalous phenomena he observed there. This phenomena included strange sky and sea conditions, mechanical and instrument malfunctions, and mysterious disappearances.

Some advocates have interpreted the Vile Vortices in terms of New Age and Earth Mystery metaphysics, citing their close proximity to ancient civilizations and sacred sites. Others advance that the Vortices are connected via earth radiation lines contributing to a global, or planetary energy grid. Still others think that the Vortices may be entry and/or exit points connecting to a hollow earth or to other dimensions.

Skeptics dismiss the Vile Vortices and any associated New Age or esoteric phenomena as pseudoscience. As with claims about the Bermuda Triangle, skeptics point out that shipping records show no unexpectedly high rate losses.
