E. A. Koetting and Baron DePrince - The Spider and The Green Butterfly

E.A. Koetting/Baron DePrince
The Spider and the Green Butterfly
There is a truth and a power, and there are secrets
innumerable that can only be found on the inside of the
Homfort, the sacred Haitian Vodoun Temples. It is in the
sacred and evil land of Haiti that I have received these
secrets, not from books, but from the Loa, from the spirits
themselves, and from my own deep immersion in the
Vodoun current.
It is my intention for these secrets to be delivered
into the hands of those serious Black Magicians and those
hungry and thirsty Brothers of the Left Hand Path who are
starved for knowledge of the real secrets of Vodoun and are
parched for the power that it offers.
As with everything else in life, there are always
ways around laws and oaths. Sitting on the High Consul in
several clandestine Vodoun Societies, I happen to have the
elders' ears, and finally now their permission to reveal
some of our most precious secrets to set the record straight
and perhaps to elude to the truth that we, the Vodoun, are
still alive and very well, not in New Orleans Botanicas or in
literature and media, but in the heart of power that is Haiti,
my homeland, and in the shadows of every nation's capital,
in Homforts across the world, all Working under the same
direction, our actions dictated by the same awful spirits,
one power reaching out into all of the world.
Only under certain conditions is this work being
allowed to be printed:
This information must be controlled and restricted
to a chosen few, and that all is not given to these few, but
that the flame of the Vodoun power is ignited within them,
allowing them the ability and potential to access the
remainder of the secrets of Vodoun. I have had many
offers from occult friends and contacts and from occult
publishers who have offered to release this unveiling for
me. I have respectfully declined them all. They could not
meet my special conditions. Most of the publishers aim for
the mass market, desiring of course to make money. The
reward for this work, however, supersedes money.
The information given in this book could not
become another "probing the secrets of Vodoun" book, but
had to be the real thing, the real magick and religion from
Haiti. Every chapter was therefore sent to Haiti before it
was accepted as part of the book, to be reviewed by a
counsel of Master Houngans to be approved as
representative of the true practices of Haitian Vodoun.
I also needed a partner, a co-author who could take
these secrets and make them tangible, who could iron out
the rough steel and polish the words to deliver the secrets.
I needed someone special, someone who walks the talk and
has access to controlling extraordinarily sensitive
information. I needed someone who already knew the
darkness, had already held power, and already had walked
with spirits.
Then, like any good Houngan, I consulted the spirits
and insisted that if they wanted this information out then
they would have to send me someone, or they needed to
offer me a sign to discontinue this unveiling altogether.
Not long after, the spirits answered through the lips
of a Magickal associate in Paris, where I was on business of
the occult nature. He told me that I should look into a
Master Black Magician rising in the publishing world by
the name of EA. Koetting.
"This guy's the real thing."
He gave me Koetting's publisher's website address,
and we continued our previous business.
I must confess that the only contact I have with the
internet are in the commercial Hoodoo items that I sell on
the internet to outsiders, and even that is only a storefront
hiding a virtual cellar of secrets.
When I went to this publisher's website, I was
generally impressed, but most of all I was impressed with a
book called Kingdoms of Flame. It was sold out, and I was
