that he directly controlled the Voodoo ele-mentals. Witch doctors of Africa and Juju practitioners in South America are also credited with the ability to summon up ultra-terrestrials and put them ae 2-1 to work. But the process works in reverse too, with the entities controlling their masters. The literature on secret societies describes many materializations of fearsome demons who frequently gave out orders, directing the cultists to commit acts of murder and political subversion. To disobey meant death, either at the hands of fellow members or the entity itself. Thus the ultraterrestrials are pre- sumably able to guide and control human events through evil men lusting for power. A young Jordanian in California, Sirhan Sirhan, studied the Ro-sicrucian doctrines of inspired treatments of mysticism. He practised self-hypnosis and automatic writing, perhaps hoping to find a way to power and prestige. In any case, he ended up in a hotel kitchen with a smoking pistol in Ms hand and Senator Robert F. Kennedy stretched out at his feet. At his trial Sirhan claimed he had no memory of that fateful night after he entered the hotel. Witnesses said they had seen him talking briefly with a swarthy man who may have been a Mexican or an Oriental. While sitting in the courtroom, Sirhan spoke quietly of seeing celestial beings. Fire usually plays an important role in secret rites. Rosicrucians practice staring at a candle flame, trying to make the flame obey their will. In the rites of witchcraft the devil is said to materialize in a bonfire, stepping forward to have sexual intercourse with the witches. His penis, it is said, is always ice cold. Sex is heavily intermixed with cuMst rites and beliefs, particularly in black magic and witchcraft. Moon Children are supposed to be produced when the devil or assorted demons have intercourse with human females. Apparently John Parsons and L. Ron Hubbard tried to produce a Moon Child in 1946. Aleister Crowley fired off an angry letter to the head of the American Magidc cult, saying, "Parsons or Hubbard or somebody is producing a Moon Child. I get fairly frantic when I contemplate the idiocy of these louts...' According to legend, Moon Children grow into exceptionally evil adults with extraordinary powers. This does not apply of course to astrological Moon Children born under the sign of Cancer (June 22-July 22). In ufology lore there exist several reports from different parts of the world describing how young men were taken aboard flying saucers and invited to have sexual intercourse with blonde space- women with long fingers and Oriental features. This appears to be a variation of the Moon Children and succubus phenomenon so well known in religious and occult lore. The reverse of this is the equally well-known incubus, or demon lover, who forces his attentions on sleeping females. There are UFO cases of this also. A California schoolteacher, Cordelia Donovan, claims that in 1966 she met a man in a long white robe who kidnapped her in a black Cadillac and gassed her. When she awoke, she was aboard a flying saucer, where she was raped by a well-endowed spaceman.' There are innumerable rumours of space babies being born in England, Australia, South America, Mexico, and the United States. Such stories have had great impact on some UFO cultists who fear that the flying saucer fiends are engaged in a massive biological experiment - creating a hybrid race which will eventually take over the earth.
