A lot of my research and inspiration came through the  exploration of dark magic and human sacrifice across history and all corners of the world.  From Tlaloc an Aztec God, Capacocha, Tanakh, Leviticus, Gehenna and Tophet, The Ver-Sacrum, Phoenica and Carthage, Pre-Islamic Arabia and pre-modern Europe, modern South Africa and Uganda.
