This is a brief story that recounts Lucifer's acts during the time of Jesus Christ, from his baptism, to the crucifixion.

This small period of time in the history of the world spells out the crux of Lucifer's miserable and doomed existence.

Cannibalism. Ritual murders. Cults. Blood rites. Possessions. Human trafficking. At a timewhen Ronald Reagan promised optimism, America found itself gripped by awidespread mania: the fear that devil worshippers were rising from a demonic undergroundto commit unspeakable acts of violence and mayhem. For more than a decade-fromthe early 1980s to the mid-1990s-America suffered through what is nowinfamously known as the "Satanic Panic." Primed by the Occult-tinged '60s, whenAnton LaVey founded the Church of Satan, Roman Polanski shocked the public withRosemary's Baby, and the Manson Family became shorthand for evil, theSatanic Panic eventually grew into a national obsession.  Acrossthe country, crimes both real and imagined, ranging from human sacrifices,multiple murders, and Satanic Ritual Abuse dominated mass media coverage. Serial killers such as David Berkowitz, "The Son of Sam," who terrorized NewYork City in the late 1970s, the "Chicago Ripper" crew, allegedly run by aflesh-eating devil worshiper and "The Night Stalker," Richard Ramirez, whosebloodlust seemed unquenchable, fueled fears of a war for the soul of Americaagainst the forces of darkness.  InAmerican Hellfire, Carlos Acevedo traces the roots of Satanic Panic fromits beginnings as a pop-culture phenomenon to the sociological factors thatreached critical mass in the 1980s.  Along the way, the notorious crimesattributed to Satanism-including the daycare hysteria that saw dozens ofinnocent people indicted for atrocities they never committed-are revisited, aswell as the hoaxes, tragedies, and conspiracy theories of an era whosenightmarish anxieties never truly went away.

The dark history of the Necronomicon--one of the world's most feared and fascinating books--told by the one man who saw it all...and lived to tell the tale. The Necronomicon is one of the most controversial books ever published. The master of Gothic suspense, H.P. Lovecraft, wrote about a mystical and dreaded grimoire, known as the Necronomicon--an ancient text written by an Arab that, if it were to fall into the wrong hands, could have disastrous consequences. But no one thought the Necronomicon had any basis in the world outside of Lovecraft's fiction. Until... Simon was a young man drawn to the mysterious world of the occult through his association with several Eastern Orthodox religions and his friendship with the owner of an occult bookstore in Brooklyn. In 1972 he stumbled upon a stolen text in a friend's apartment, unaware that what he held in his hands was the real Necronomicon--something long thought to be a creation of Lovecraft's brilliant mind and deft pen. After an arduous translation, done in the utmost secrecy (since the tome was in fact stolen), Simon and his close circle of friends unveiled the now-infamous grimoire to a clamoring public. In Dead Names, Simon tells the amazing true story that surrounds the Necronomicon. From the main players' humble beginnings in the pageantry-filled and secret world of Eastern Orthodox religion, to the accidental discovery of the Necronomicon, to the Son of Sam murders, the JFK assassination , the brilliant William S. Burroughs, and the eventual suspicious deaths of almost everyone involved with the grimoire, this book is an enthralling account of a book steeped in legend, lies, and murder.

Four instances determine the law of realisation. Four primal qualities: warm, cold, light and heavy manifest in the form of the four elements and are the key to all sciences and mysteries. Ancient philosophers contemplated the four basic building blocks of creation: fire, water, air and earth. In medieval times the spirits bound to them were summoned. Modern science has alsodiscovered the mechanism of quadrupole magnetism, which regulates everything and keeps everything alive. There are four forms of energy in the universe: nuclear energy, radioactivity, electromagnetism and gravitation. Four forms of energy within the atom ensure that it does not fall apart. Four molecules, known as the genetic code, have for millions of years determinedthe development of life. Four switches are necessary in a control circuit that can achieve a certain goal or maintain a state.Spiritual research also recognises the four instances in the control circuit of the spirit. Thinking, feeling, wanting and consciousness are the four organs through which the I awakens and recognises itself and the environment. Those who do not want to lose their consciousness and want to consciously shape their existence have to know and master the cybernetics of the spirit. This book shows you how to accomplish this..

Placebo and word magic: every word is an active being. Every concept is a spiritual power.. Alchemy: how to dig for gold for the afterlife in this life.. Kabbalah: how to shape a body for the spiritual world. It is not spirits that are summoned, it is the power and energy of yourown spirit that is awoken. The goal is not to use magic to gain mastery over the world and the spirits, instead it is to transform yourself so that the world and the spirits can no longer master you.
