Project OFTEN

FILE DATE 1966

CROSS-REFS 02

STATUS NEVER CLOSED

SUMMARY

The agency's confirmed flirtation with the occult: drugs, demonology, and fortune tellers on invoice.

FULL DOSSIER

Project OFTEN (1966-73), documented in Church-era disclosures: CIA/Army testing of pharmacological compounds' behavioral effects, which per released summaries and Gottlieb-era testimony extended to scrying the occult — consultations with astrologers, palmists, and demonology research (the 'Operation Often' occult-consultation accounts trace to Gordon Thomas's reporting, thinner sourcing than the drug-testing core). The node holds the confirmed edge of the agency's documented willingness to test anything, linking MKULTRA and the Goetia's cameo in the files.
