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

E.A. Koetting/Baron DePrince
The Spider and the Green Butterfly
determined. Using my contacts, I finally got a copy and
was astounded. E.A., writing at that time under the
pseudonym Archaelus Baron, wrote of various Kingdoms
of Flame and fiery spirits capable of delivering power and
knowledge unheard of even in the most ancient grimoires.
One of the secret rituals performed in Vodoun is to
walk through a pit of fire unharmed. Once inside the
flames, we make contact with various Fire Spirits for
magical power and knowledge.
Although Kingdoms of Flame does not give these
exact rituals, it echoes a similar power known only to the
few Initiated. In every way, it seemed to possess more
inside occult secrets if it is read carefully, in the white
between the lines and the spaces between the words, than
most "heavier" occult books can lay claim to.
Who was this mysterious E.A.?
Clairvoyantly reading him, I saw him surrounded by
many powerful demons and spirits, protecting him and
guiding him. Such power can only come from someone
who has had real contact.
My Parisian friend was right. Here was a guy who
walks the talk and knows his stuff. Had he been born black
in Haiti he would be King Bocor, a Master of the Dark
Arts, and treated and feared as such by the people and by
the government in Haiti, and by the whole of the Vodoun
world.
It is him that I, and the spirits who have
commissioned this work, thank for what you are about to
read and learn. The forces revealed in this book brought us
together to reveal the most hidden secrets of real Vodoun.
There is more to Vodoun than has ever been
revealed, and these lessons and secrets will reveal to you a
secret dark world that is powerful and feared among the
common Houngans.
There is a warning that you must know before you
begin to tread down this dark path: this is not just another
book about Vodoun. You cannot just read and learn these
secrets and walk away unscathed. These are not powers
that you can control. These are not spirits that you can
summon, constrain, and dismiss as easily as those known to
the Western world.
As you read these secrets they will find their way
into the deepest caverns of your mind and they will begin
to tap into that raw, primordial being within, eventually
becoming part of your life and your responsibility, forever.
This is the reason that occult secrets are really never
discussed outside of the Temples, let alone published.
The secrets given here will become you, and you
will become them. When you begin to hear cracking or
footsteps in your house, when you start to sense a invisible
presence near you as you are reading this book, when you
begin to see out of the corner of your eye a figure that fades
once looked upon fully, these are the forces that are being
released within you and the spirits that are gathering around
you as you begin to absorb these powers, only by the
simple knowledge of their existence.
There is a special book in Haiti that can only be
read if you are beyond fifty years in age, and the name of
the book is called Secrets Superieurs de Le Satan, or, "The
Superior Secrets of Satan." As you read this forbidden
book and hold the secrets on each page in your mind, the
words on the page will vanish.
There is also an elect and elite occult school in
Spain. You must enter through a cave to learn their magic,
and the cave is so dark and so deep that the only light in it
rises from another such secret book, giving off a visible
glow of power. As you read and learn each dark magical
secret, the words too vanish from the pages.
This world is filled with such secrets, and with such
power.
