Secrets of the occult
C.A. Burland

Not all religions are conducted in churches; nor do they all celebrate a beneficent God. The Devil and the darker secrets of nature exercise a powerful fascination on the mind of man. Magic and witchcraft are seen increasingly as real alternatives to the state religion. In this book C.A. Burland shows how the old rituals of Christianity are related to still earlier rites which have survived as the orgiastic underground religion; and how Church religion on the one hand and witchery on the other have co-existed down the years as the two sides of the supernatural coin.
