ted clay rajahs rode puppet-stallions, decapitating enemy marionettes with imprecations and wooden swords. during the rest of the week, however, nasreen would stalk the house warily, a pigeon of a woman walking on tiptoed feet through the gloom, as if she were afraid to disturb the shadowed silence; and her son, walking in her footsteps, also learned to lighten his footfall lest he rouse whatever goblin or afreet might be lying in wait. but: nasreen chamchawala's caution failed to save her life. the horror seized and murdered her when she believed herself most safe, clad in a sari covered in cheap newspaper photos and headlines, bathed in chandelier-light, surrounded by her friends. o o o by then five and a half years had passed since young salahuddin, garlanded and warned, boarded a dougl

SATANIC BIBLE

under a new form of government, the heroes of the past become villains of the present. so it is with religion. the earliest christians believed that the pagan deities were devils, and to employ them was to use "black magic. miraculous heavenly events they termed "white magic; this was the sole distinction between the two. the old gods did not die, they fell into hell and became devils. the bogey, goblin, or bugaboo used to frighten children is derived from the slavonic "bog" which means "god, as does bhaga in hindu. many pleasures revered before the advent of christianity were condemned by the new religion. it required little changeover to transform the horns and cloven hooves of pan into a most convincing devil! pan's attributes could be neatly changed into charged-with-punishment sins, a

n: rider, 1948. goblins goblins are closely related to demonic entities. although some europeans recognize a gentler variety known as a hobgoblin, goblins seem never to be satisfied with creating mischief. their specialty is wreaking havoc and malicious acts of harm. usually portrayed as small, grotesque beings, the basic nature of goblins is as foul as their appearance. the spunkie is a scottish goblin that particularly has it in for those travelers who venture out after dark. the spunkie is considered so nasty that tradition claims it to be a direct agent of satan. it hovers about in the darkness, just waiting for a traveler to become lost in the night, perhaps during a rainstorm when visibility is especially bad. the goblin manifests a light that appears to the desperate wayfarer like i

the desperate wayfarer like illumination shining through a windowpane, thus signaling shelter and a dry place to spend the inclement evening. but as the hopeful traveler approaches the light, it keeps moving just a bit farther away. since the poor, drenched pilgrim has no choice in the darkness but to keep pursuing the light source, the spunkie keeps moving it just a bit farther on until the evil goblin has lured the unfortunate traveler over a cliff. m delving deeper bord, janet. fairies: real encounters with little people. new york: dell publishing, 1998. dubois, pierre, with roland sabatier and claudine sabatier, illustrators. the great encyclopedia of fairies. new york: simon& schuster, 2000. froud, brian. good faeries, bad faeries. new york: simon& schuster, 1998. jones, alison, ed. l

THE GOD OF THE WITCHES

re our ancestors so afraid of fairies? the horror and fear of them is seen inall the records of the trials in which a witch is accused of visiting the fairy-folk.this horror is expressed in numerous popular rhymes and in popular tales as well as by the poets. a charm tobe said at night runs as followssaint francis and saint benedight, bless this house from wicked wight, from the nightmare and the goblin that is hight goodfellow robin; keep it from all evil spirits, fairies, weasels, rats, and ferrets; from curfew time to the next prime."as late as 1600 fairfax in his translation of tasso could bracket the fairies with furies and ghosts:"the shriking gobblings each where howling flew, the furies roare, the ghosts and fairies yell."the swedish bishop, olaus magnus, writing in 1555, says that

THE STAR IN THE WEST BY CAPTAIN FULLER A CRITICAL ESSAY ON THE WORKS OF ALEISTER CROWLEY

dreds of years before what we call modern science was born. the youth of systems, as of individuals, is lost in the mist of the past, unknown to themselves, dimly apparent to others, they proceed through wondering childhood, ambitious youth, maturity, and decay. the crucibles and retorts of the alchymists are but the toys of youthful chemistry, its dolls and tin soldiers: god and devil, angel and goblin, are but the fairies of grimm or andersen, or the gnomes who spring through the flooring of drury lane to the amazement of little children. the human first adores images, then imaginations; the little girl who loves her doll will neglect it to tend her youngest little brother or sister, whom she will kiss and pinch in the true fashion of the human; and when scarcely in her teens will commen
