Mysteries Explored

Of all the legendary UFO contactees that Long John interviewed, Orfeo
Angelucci stands out in my mind. There was sincerity in his voice. He seemed
charming. There was no doubt he believed in what he was saying. He wasn

Lord Lytton is famous for his book "The Coming Race" that included his vision for an energy called 'VRIL power.' The Third Reich was evidently quite aware of Lytton's visions and theories, as they named some of their experimental craft "VRIL". Many other of Lord Lytton's books are merely dismissed as literature or fiction. Though written in fiction prose, his other mysteries and visions are recorded in his less known works. TGS has selected some of these books by Lord Lytton to add to their historical reprints catalog.

IN all the darkest pages of the malign supernatural there is no more terrible tradition than that of the Vampire, a pariah even among demons. Foul are his ravages; gruesome and seemingly barbaric are the ancient and approved methods by which folk must rid themselves of this hideous pest. Even to-day in certain quarters of the world, in remoter districts of Europe itself, Transylvania, Slavonia, the isles and mountains of Greece, the peasant will take the law into his own bands and utterly destroy the carrion who--as it is yet firmly believed--at night will issue from his unhallowed grave to spread the infection of vampirism throughout the countryside.

Those strange and tragic affairs were so closely involved with the politics, literature, and life of the seventeenth century that one is surprised to find how few of them have received accurate or complete record in history. It may be said, in fact, that few subjects have gathered about themselves so large concretions of misinformation as English witchcraft.

There are a handful of people whose research over the years into the world of the esoteric has enriched our knowledge of the mysteries of this world and the next. One of these researchers, Charles Godfrey Leland, contributed so much to our present day understanding of magick and the people who practice it, that it is both mystifying and heartbreaking that little is remembered or attributed to this amazing man.

Beginning in the late 1960s, both Brent Raynes and I started on a parallel quest in hunt of the truth about UFOs. Brent's many early trips included visits and contacts with some of ufology's major figures, people who became his friends, such as Betty Hill, Dr. Berthold Schwarz, and John Keel.

Very little is written about this sacred mountiain, even though it is revered by Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, and Buddhism. This is claimed to be the mount on which God delivered Adam to Earth.
