The Spider and the Green Butterfly
They knew that both magical forces, the light and
dark, held many advanced technological secrets. Both
schools of magick begin to notice, however, that mankind
was becoming more war-like and that every nation seemed
to want control their neighbors through various apocalyptic
war machines. Atlantis was not exempt from this will to
power. They wanted to expand their control and dominion
beyond this earth to other planets and over other beings.
The masters of magic, seeing this deadly drama
unfolding in spirit visions, began warning that such actions
would cost Atlantis its very existence. The masters began
to make plans to preserve their secret wisdom by
transforming themselves into fish and other sea creatures.
The Masters of the light decided to become fish and
birds to stay close to land and the Masters of the dark
forces decided to go very deep under the ocean into the
darkest part of the sea, far from man's prying eyes.
The elders and the intellectually and psychically
advanced citizens of Atlantis who wanted nothing to do
with such suicidal plans decided to leave Atlantis before its
destruction in vessels that could travel to other worlds, in
hope for peace and for the ability to increase their
knowledge and understanding of the universe and their
place in it.
As was prophesied, Atlantis was destroyed. Many
think it was by a meteor, although it is often claimed that
they destroyed themselves internally before even beginning
their quest for empirical domination.
But the powerful Magicians of Atlantis survived.
They climbed out of their hiding places in the ocean to
walk on soil again, in the distant Islands of Africa, Egypt,
India, and most of all in Haiti.
While the western occultists, just barely coming
into the knowledge of Sorcery, were attempting to study
cryptic Grimoires through Judeo-Christian spectacles, the
Sorcerers of Atlantis stood on Haitian soil and taught the
eager disciples the worship of the Loa and the revival of the
spirits. They gave the secrets of traveling behind the Tree
of Life and entering a hidden gateway to Hell, wherein they
could master its darkest magick and return to the physical
reality with the knowledge of power.
It was those dark masters of Atlantis Magick who
rose from the sea and walked and taught to the first masters
of magick how to conduct the most powerful Vodoun
Sorcery magick that is still even more powerful today.
Although the above is what is told to the initiate, by
the sea on the full moon, the story does not end there. It is
an undisputed fact in Haiti that powerful Vodoun magick
was responsible for the Haitian Revolution, and has held
complete control over the area since.
Haitian Vodoun is a product of the slave trade.
Slave traders forbade slaves to practice their native
religions. This was enforced by various forms of torture,
and, if forced conversion failed, by death. Many slaves,
therefore, "found Christ," and were baptized into the
Catholic faith. The rites and symbols of Catholicism
quickly became superimposed on native rites and beliefs,
which were still practiced in secret.
The religious suppression of the slaves continued
until the Haitian revolution of 1791. As a result of the
religious persecution that the French government
administered with an iron fist, tribal deities, or Loa, took on
the forms of Catholic saints, the icons of Christianity being
used to procure the ancient connection to the Vodoun
forces. As had been prophesied centuries previous, a
complete inversion of good and evil had taken place.
The mixture of Africans brought to Haiti as part of
the slave trade saw the addition of the saints as an
extension of their faith, and incorporated Catholic statues,
candles and holy relics into their rituals.
