“The mystery of this priest, Canon Docre, and his sacrilegious rage, haunts me. What's going on in the soul of a man who has the figure of Christ tattooed on his heels the better to trample Him? How did he happen to become a master Satanist?”

“Of course, I limit myself to repeating what was told me,” resumed Des Hermies, lighting his cigarette. “Well, this priest can dress the most virulent poisons in the most frightful sacrileges. Docre keeps white mice in cages, and he takes them along when he travels. He feeds them on consecrated hosts and on pastes impregnated with poisons skilfully dosed. When these unhappy beasts are saturated, he takes them, holds them over a chalice, and with a very sharp instrument he pricks them here and there. The blood flows into the vase and he uses it, in a way which I shall explain in a moment, to strike his enemies with death. Formerly he operated on chickens and guinea pigs, but he used the grease, not the blood, of these animals, become thus execrated and venomous tabernacles.”

“And we could go on, my dear friend, talking about the filth of abbé Beccarelli, or the abominations of abbé Segarelli of Parma, who, on pretext of becoming a child, in order to symbolize better the simple, naïf love of the innocence, had the custom of wearing diapers and slept on the breast of a wet nurse, and sucking her milk, before giving himself to the most disgusting acts.”

*Excerpts from the novel “Là-Bas” ("Down there"; “Allá lejos”; 1891), written by Joris-Karl Huysmans: the great masterpiece of decadence and Luciferism in the Occult Paris during the fin-de-siècle.

"I learned long ago that there are no people interesting to know except saints, scoundrels, and cranks. The only persons whose conversation amounts to anything." ("Hace tiempo que aprendí que no existen personas más interesantes de conocer que los santos, los malvados y los raros. Son los únicos cuya conversación vale algo"). —J-K. Huysmans: Là-Bas (1891)

'Melusine', from ''Les grandes Sataniques de l'histoire de la Légende'' by Roland Brévannes, Select Bibliothèque, 1907 Source ”Melusine is a figure of European folklore, a female spirit of fresh water in a sacred spring or river. She is usually depicted as a woman who is a serpent or fish from the waist down (much like a mermaid). She is also sometimes illustrated with wings, two tails, or both. Her legends are especially connected with the northern and western areas of France, Luxembourg, and the Low Countries. She is also connected with Cyprus, where the French Lusignan royal house that ruled the island from 1192 to 1489 claimed to be descended from Melusine.” Source
