The Book of Occult By Simon Clark

“One man’s search for a
mystery author catapults
him into a dangerous race to
unlock esoteric wisdom that
has been hidden and
disputed for thousands of
years.”

Peter Ashton has a dark past. In a
teenage prank he uses an old book to perform an occult ritual. The experiment goes awry and his best friend is killed in the act.

Two decades later Peter travels to
Europe to discover the secrets of the book and its mystery author. Plagued by curiosity and guilt he meets a Professor and an English Auctioneer who try to help him verify its authenticity and origins. The result is far beyond what he imagined.
It is the last unpublished secret work by 19th century French occultist Eliphas Levi.

The book’s meaning is shrouded in mystical conspiracy like its author. Peter soon finds it brings unwanted attention.

Across the Atlantic Ocean a once
dedicated American government agent is now descending on a dark mystical path. The former high level operative
uses an esoteric tool to enhance his abilities but at a grave personal cost.
He desires occult power and is killing everyone that stands in the way. Will he catch Peter and his priceless book?

From Paris to Los Angeles Peter races against time and powerful enemies. A cult leader opens his eyes to the extent of underground mysticism and tempts him with money and power.
With limited options Peter is attacked by extremists desperate to get hold of the book. A beautiful gypsy woman gives
him hope and insight. The final clue leads him to a Spanish mansion with more revelations than he dreamed possible. Can Peter unlock the secret wisdom before it is too late? Or will he
be seduced by the deadly forces that tempted him 20 years ago….

I've had my fair share of the ideas behind dark powers, embeded in cosmology, controllers of matter, space and time. All forms metaphysical theories and astrology, all born out of the need to be in control of the human race. But then not too long in that journey I began to realise that the earthly power in itself is limited in authority and that there is just another power that is open and beyound all other powers. All I just got out of it is that the devil himself is super organised and deceptive.... And faith is the only shield. Be warned all books with metaphysical roots bare spirits.

Sorry, but you should only post on original ideas and stories of your own. Thanks.
