Did the followers at the Church of Carmel get accused of the same devience as Vintras? And were these magicians just jealous and spiteful of each other, always casting spells and curses at each other? Most definitely a fascinating read and subject. So well written Patrick!

Fantastic article – very interesting stuff – I believe that all things termed occult are spawned from ancient knowledge – much of which has been kept out of the domain of the public. Hidden and secret wisdom.
I enjoyed reading Ruby’s comments, but whether or not the general public are superstitious or not – it is irrelevent because any-one who has real power on this planet (both today and all through history) deals every card from occultism – if you have time – check out “Bohemian Grove”

It weirds me out to see how stupid humans have always been and they don’t seem to improve. You would think time would teach people something but the old superstitions still persist and new ones come onboard. I despair of man kind.These superstitions, myths and dogma began when man didn’t know what the world or nature was. A lightning strike was thought to be a punishment from a god. I can understand how they felt because they knew nothing but we have advanced enough to know about weather and natural events.So why do we remain superstitious? I agree churches have always compromised themselves. Greedy and bigoted,they have not loved the needy and improverished. They have their own agenta and embrace the rich and powerful.
