I realize you all are rather confused as to why you have been called to my manor at such short notice, with no reason given. Allow me to give you more than a meager reason. Allow me, to give you a motive. I've heard you all have something of a... penchante for learning. I shall teach you what you wish to know. What all of you wish to know. Even if you do not realize it, magic exists, gentlemen. I am its sole wielder. The 'man' has been trying to sabotage the occult since the witch hunting days. The illuminati, to name one faction, opposes this. The OTO Is another example. Given time, resources and enough volunteers I scan supply tou all with grimoires, texts and apparatuses for any amount of magic you would wish to conduct, under one single condition:

You must believe.

That is my only requirement for cooperation.

You can kill, steal, rape. I do not care for your petty affairs. But if ever you stop believing, you will lose all capability for magic and worth in my eyes. You will be dealt with also if you consort with the scientific government. Now, since we have all that sorted out, allow me to list a few things which may bolster your confidence in the arcane:

The california fires were caused by a hack sorceror attempting to summon a fire elemental in the woods. He succeeded. But missed one seal of binding on his spell circle.

If you were to move the pyramids, you would see a complex spell pattern underneath them. The moved pyramid would then begin moving, and start walking. The pyramids are living, but entrapped golems.

The american highway system is, unintentionally a large magic seal that can be used to summon a daemonic army in case of soviet insurgency.

Planes do not 'fly'. This is an elaborate hoax because the general public does not understand or trust quantum physics.

At every intersection with a newspaper vendor, write down a 1. At every one without, write a 0. If you put together this string of binary it will reveal a numerology sequence that can instantaneously kill a person of choice with the sequence continued.

You only think a mirror is made of reflective material. Though that is a common misconception, please do not put your back against a mirror unless you wish to be put into a chokehold by a very angry doppelganger.

Rituals exist in the most illogical (to you) ways. If you take an Xbox controller and balance a compact disc on the analog stick, painting on it with red marker it will function as a compass.

The true purpose of the eiffel tower is sinister.

This is a miniscule amount of the information I have amassed. I hope to see you all again soon, future adepts.
