    What evidence is there that evil entities can possess human beings and force them to commit horrific murders? 
     
    Black magic murders, Satanic sex cults and demonic possession are the diabolical practices that grab the tabloid headlines and reinforce the myth that evil and an unhealthy obsession with the occult are to blame for our increasingly violent society. But is the truth even darker and more disturbing? 
     
    From tribal magic and shamanism, through the work of WB Yeats and Aleister Crowley, to black magic rituals and New Age Nihilists, The Dark History of the Occult asks whether 'Satanic forces' are simply the emergence of the dark side of human nature, or whether we really have something to fear - namely, evil?

    Ian Fleming was a true visionary, a dualistic individual who spent much time in his early life in a "special" school in Austria. It was here where he learned the sacred ways of the early Gnostics and Occultists and developed the very root of the enigmatic secret and eternal charisma of James Bond. 
     
    Fleming explicitly said that Bond was Manichean, a distinctly Gnostic concept. The Bond books and films are strategically seeded with alchemical and Gnostic references for those with "the eyes to see". Fleming associated with mystics and initiated individuals around the globe. 
     
    In the Bond Code, we shall see how deep this web of the occult truly went. Fleming lived in a fantasy world that led him into a land of sinister and esoteric thought. He created his own alter-ego as a great alchemical work to fulfill his own tumultuous and chaotic mind, and he left behind a set of clues and codes for us to decipher. 
     
    Philip Gardiner finally unravels the secret of James Bond, piece by piece, radically reappraising everything we thought we knew about this secret agent and his creator. 
     
    Join us on this journey in a very special and unique audio book version.
