The 'Wicked' Rich's Volumes of Threefold Rule, Book One : The Restless in Red Snow

Throughout most of history, any person or persons known to practice magick or associate with ones who do were persecuted and put to death. To the majority of people, religious zealots and their followers, the magick was witchcraft. And those who practiced it were witches, conjurers of evil and followers of darkness. All feared that which they didn't understand. Due to fixed beliefs superimposed by ignorance and predisposed judgments, senseless killings were committed. Burnings were popular. And some took it upon themselves to hunt down all witches. To the present day, witch hunts continue. Secret societies, "overlooked" by the government, are led by one who remains in existence until all witches and their descendants are cleansed and purified by holy fire. Their societies, needless to say are well hidden, but all things hidden are certain to be found. And regardless of the passing of time, there will never fail to be a karmic return. The restless will find peace. And for all the senseless acts committed, by the threefold rule, those responsible, to them shall they be given back.
