Fallen

zaireeka, you can also stop putting five. This attitude of yours, acting like a superior and know-it-all, qualifies you for what you are... an old man who still enjoys acting like a child. I would be happy if you stopped commenting on my reviews... in case you didn't understand, let me clarify with other words: GET OFF MY BACK.

my dear zaireeka... I have accepted your critiques with philosophy, since I cannot expect everyone to think like I do. However, I have noticed that you gave a 1 to a CD that I believe you have never listened to, due to stupid and unfounded prejudices. My music is, for your information, much more "music" than what you listen to, if only for the monstrous amount of technical work that lies behind it. Moving on, you are absolutely not the right person to criticize my writing style, considering the quality level of your reviews. With disdain

I DO NOT ASSUME THE EXISTENCE OF THE NECRONOMICON, OR THE BOOK OF DEAD NAMES, HOWEVER I HAVE TRANSLATED SOME LATIN PAGES ATTRIBUTED TO IT IN A WAY THAT IS NOT AUTHENTICATED. THEREFORE, PLEASE TAKE MY QUOTATION AS A MERE LITERARY SPUR. I THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING AND APOLOGIZE FOR ANY MISLEADINGS.

Letter from Dr. Stanislaus Hinterstoisser, President of the Salzburg Institute for the Study of Magic and Occult Phenomena

Suffice to say that I managed to reconstruct the chain of magical contacts from Cagliostro to the members of the Chassidic sect and their predecessors among the Sephardim of Spain. However, there are hints that the Necronomicon was not fully appreciated among them, as not only do Jewish communities have magical traditions dating back to the Kabbalah and deriving from the hermetic tradition of Egyptian and Babylonian magic, but there were also many influential rabbis who opposed any manifestation of magic and had solid Talmudic authority to justify this attitude.

My information tells me that Lovecraft's father was taught to read these extracts from the Necronomicon by none other than Tall Center (the revelation of the "true" name would draw upon my head an even greater hatred than that which already exists). Tall Center had received the sacred text from Innermost Shrine, who in turn had obtained it from Fouquier Tinville, the Dzherzhinsky of the French Revolution, who had obtained it not without resorting to torture from the followers of Cagliostro. Innermost Shrine, as you know, was of Mingrelian origin and died at the age of at least 140 years.

A secret Illuminatus and Jacobin was Giuseppe Balsamo, alias Cagliostro, who, like Rasputin in Russia, played a decisive role in the Revolution by discrediting the royal family and was personally instructed by Weishaupt himself... the conspirator educated by the Jesuits and unpublished writings include, among many other things, the original draft of what became famous as the Communist Manifesto when it was finally published in 1848. Cagliostro's interest, from our point of view, lies in the fact that he left certain manuscripts to his followers of the Egyptian sect, including excerpts from the original Necronomicon. It may seem strange that this almost anonymous individual, of humble origins, possessed such an important manuscript. (...)

Egyptian Freemasons fall into this last category, and to some extent they have influenced all other branches of Freemasonry with their pyramid rituals. In fact, many of their members, including Lovecraft's father, were and are also members of regular Masonic lodges affiliated with the Grand Lodge of London (like many American lodges) and are rightly considered harmless by an authority like Nesta Webster. However, Egyptian Freemasons are more closely tied to the Grande Loge du Grand Orient de France, a less harmless organization created by Weishaupt's "Illuminati," and closely associated with the Society of Jacobins, to which all the leaders of the French Revolution belonged, and which today includes among its members both President Giscard D'Estaing and his soi-disant adversary Mitterrand.

It is no mystery that, during my long life, I have joined several Masonic, magical, and Sufi sects, to increase the mass of information related to their activities. It is superfluous to add that such activities, inspired more by scientific curiosity than by reverence, and devoted to gathering information that, at least in theory, could be published, have created numerous enemies for me. The sects in question were a very diverse collection: many were nothing more than groups like Rotary Clubs with the addition of some incomprehensible formula; others were true political conspiracies, all the more efficient as they operated in the shadows, and still others had considerable magical experience, sometimes of an extremely dangerous nature.

Excerpt from: "Necronomicon. The Secret Book of H.P. Lovecraft" - Fanucci publisher
The research I conducted during my visit to New England in March 1975 revealed that Winfield Lovecraft (father of H.P. Lovecraft) was a member of the Egyptian branch of Freemasonry, founded, or at least made public, by "Alessandro, conte Cagliostro," a notorious imposter, yes, but also a dangerous manipulator of occult forces. In Providence, Rhode Island, the old, sleepy city dedicated to culture and matters of the mind, I conducted inquiries that led me to the current practitioners of Egyptian Freemasonry. As you know, they preserve a remarkable occult tradition, expressed in rituals that only the initiated can explain, although it is shared to some extent, from a ritualistic perspective, by practitioners of common Freemasonry. As you know, all Masonic rituals are more or less secret, but none are as secret as those of the most recondite sects… or, I could add, those of the higher degrees of otherwise normal lodges.
