Waite, Arthur Edward (1857-1942)


... the Unclean Spirit will appear to you in a scarlet surcoat, a yellow vest and breeches of pale green. His ears will be those of an ass.[*] He will ask for your orders, and, as he cannot do otherwise than obey, you may become the happiest of men.

[A. E. Waite, The Book of Ceremonial Magic, pp. 132-33.]

Werewolves

Werewolves, called by some ‘the children of Atlantis'[*]

– Alan Moore

The phenomenon of the black dog has also been reported in Canada. The creature seen at Rous’ Brook, Nova Scotia, appears generally as a bright light, but can also be more tangible: one man (admittedly somewhat under the influence) who was foolhardy enough to face the thing that was following him, was attacked and nearly choked to death.[+] ‘It looked like a black dog,’ he said, but when it got him around the throat it seemed more like a person.[#]

[S. Sunderland, Soul Avatars, p.171]

The shooting of a man-eater gives one a feeling of satisfaction. Satisfaction at having done a job which badly needed doing. Satisfaction at having out-manoeuvred, on his own ground, a very worthy antagonist. And, greatest satisfaction of all, at having a small portion of the earth safe for a brave little girl[~] to walk on.

[J. Corbett, The Temple Tiger and More Man-Eaters of Kumaon, p. 139]
