Knowing what people have done in the past can be helpful in understanding what they are capable of doing in the present. Saying "it can't happen here" is harder to do when you know that it has already happened somewhere else. In this book, Craig Lockwood presents a historical view of human behavior in regard to the occult and its part in society, organized groups and religion. Then he applies this information to present-day reports of ritual abuse, along with brief chapters on multiple personality and the science of memory, and lets readers draw their own conclusions. Chapter 18 on the Politics of Denial goes into the human practice of denying the truth to protect other agendas. Included after Notes and References is a List of Prosecutions in which ritual abuse was involved.

Not for the casual reader, this book gives a valuable historical background for the serious study of modern organized ritual abuse and the technology of control of the many by the few.
