This book lets you in on the secrets of black magic murders, Satanic sex cults and demonic possession –the diabolical practices that grab the tabloid headlines and reinforce the myth that evil and an unhealthy obsession with the occult are to blame for our increasingly violent society. But is the truth even darker and more disturbing? The answer will astonish you. Also explained – the differences between black magic and white magic and how widely each is practiced in today’s world. Author Paul Roland looks into the origins of our belief in evil and asks whether Satanic forces are simply the emergence of the dark side of human nature, or do we really have something to fear – something much, much more frightening. Features chapters on Black Magic and the Occult, Speak of the Devil: The Unholy Trinity, Satan’s Sisters or Custodians of the Old Religion, The Devil’s Disciples and Black Magic and Murder. Fully illustrated. |
