 I didn't think that I'd scared you off that easily!

 Awww, flattery will only get you on my good side. ;)

  As I hope I've made apparent, the respect is mutual.

 This is one of the rare occasions on the list that
I've had to address "the wickedest man in the world"
(tm) topic with someone who was actually open to the
thought that there might actually be *something in
there*, rather than just believing wholesale the many
merely maligned mythologies.

 Heh, actually it's from Crowley's "Confessions".

 I think you may be a bit suprised when you find out
the origin of the actual ceremony being described.

 I don't, but I seem to remember someone posting scans
of the released documentia on their site somewhere.

 After some digging, I found a wealth of ODIC material
on Madani's site:

=====
"The scene was wild and somewhat sinister. The
darkness, the palms, the mountainous background, the
silent lake below, the impenetrable canopy of space,
studded with secretive and significant stars, formed a
stupendous setting for the savage noise and blaze of
the ceremony."
