Simultaneously, I had pursued a theological interest in the \u003cstrong\u003eCathars\u003c\/strong\u003e, first through reading a number of books about the \u003cstrong\u003eKnights Templar\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eDan Brown's The Da Vinci Code\u003c\/strong\u003e and later, an interest in \u003cstrong\u003eMons gur\u003c\/strong\u003e and the \u003cstrong\u003eRennes-le-Ch teau\u003c\/strong\u003e, near where the lost treasure of the Cathars is said to be hidden. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround the same time I was starting this work, my interest in the paranormal became focused around reincarnation and \u003cstrong\u003elycanthropy\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cstrong\u003ewerewolves and vampires\u003c\/strong\u003e). I have always loved old \u003cstrong\u003eHammer Horror\u003c\/strong\u003e films and particularly the work of \u003cstrong\u003eChristopher Lee\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003ePeter Cushing\u003c\/strong\u003e. I have also always been interested in luck, and the constant battle between good and evil, light and dark, and yin and yang; who isn't? I mused that some people have luck so bad that it kills them, whereas others seem to lead a charmed life. I decided that my main character must have some kind of rare interaction with luck and the forces of good and evil.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFrom there, I developed the idea that in fact both \u003cstrong\u003eSatan \u003c\/strong\u003eand \u003cstrong\u003eGod\u003c\/strong\u003e might encounter him in \u003cstrong\u003eHighgate Cemetery\u003c\/strong\u003e and he become a \u003cstrong\u003eSecret Agent\u003c\/strong\u003e and later an amateur sleuth. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet another theme is Witchcraft. I have long been interested in the influence of \u003cstrong\u003eGurdjieff and Mdm. Blavatsky\u003c\/strong\u003e on modern western ideas. I also make frequent references to the\u003cstrong\u003eMalleus Maleficarum\u003c\/strong\u003e - the witch-hunter's bible - and wicca, particularly \u003cstrong\u003eGardnerian wicca\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53186117533969,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53186117927185,"sku":"NIN9780993595707","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780993595707.jpg?v=1772375855"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/ordo-lupus-and-the-blood-money-prophecy-book-series.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
