on Dr.Who, the word Transmigration meant the skill of defying the laws of pure science and pulling objects out of thin air. The Hermit taught it to the Doctor; when the First Doctor revisited the hermit toward the end of his life, the Hermit transmigrated a bone-china tea set and the Doctor transmigrated a jug of yak's butter, though it was ugly due to rheumatism stiffening the Doctor's wrist. The Hermit noted that the Doctor always did better at transmigration while his hands were in his pockets.

It seems that in Hermeticism souls can transmigrate within a species but also within subspecies, although not in plants and minerals, with its main goal purification and salvation by returning to the divine.

Steve Hackett
"Voyage of the Acolyte" his (Steve Hackett's) only solo album recorded and released while he was a member of Genesis. Hackett recorded the album during a break in group activity in mid-1975 and used guest musicians, including Genesis bassist Mike Rutherford and drummer/vocalist Phil Collins, to play on the record. It has a loose concept with the title and lyrics of each track inspired by a Tarot card.
Salmacis was an atypical Naiad nymph of Greek mythology. She rejected the ways of the virginal Greek goddess Artemis in favour of vanity and idleness.
"The Voice of Necam" features references to the "Please Don't Touch" theme before transitioning to an ambient piece of voice drones. NECAM was one of the first mixing console automation systems, developed by the mixing console's manufacturer, AMS Neve; the acronym stood for "Neve Computer Assisted Mixdown". To produce the vocal chords, Hackett sang different notes onto tracks of a multitrack tape, and then made a loop of the tape in a technique similar to that used by 10cc in the song "I'm Not in Love". Each track was fed back to a separate input on the mixing console, and the NECAM system was programmed to "play" chords and melodies by moving the console faders.

Judy Blume
Joe Don Baker
as "Mitchell"
Mitchell was generally panned by critics upon its release. In The New York Times, Vincent Canby wrote: "Mitchell, starring Joe Don Baker as a hard-nosed Los Angeles detective named Mitchell, has a lot of over-explicit violence, some gratuitous sex stuff and some rough language, yet it looks like a movie that couldn't wait to get to prime-time television. Perhaps it's a pilot film for a TV series, or maybe it's just a movie that's bad in a style we associate with some of the more mindless small-screen entertainments. Mitchell spends what seems to be the greater part of the film climbing in and out of automobiles, driving automobiles, chasing other automobiles, parking automobiles, and leaning against the body of automobiles that are temporarily at rest. Once he smashes a hoodlum's hand in the door of an automobile.The climax, for a giddy change of pace, features a police helicopter in pursuit of a high-speed cabin cruiser. Automobiles sink when driven onto water."
In 1993, the edited-for-television release of Mitchell was featured as episode #512 of Mystery Science Theater 3000. During the opening credits, Servo and Crow mock the theme song by improvising lyrics about food and Mitchell's weight, briefly referencing the theme song from Shaft.
