Christopher Lee on Black Magic

Christopher Lee, the famous actor who played Sarumon in Lord of the Rings, spoke about his views on black magic:
"There is nothing fictitious about black magic. In any way whatever. It is a fact. It is a fact which has existed for several thousand years. When we talk about black magic we are talking about Satanism, necromancy, alchemy, witchcraft... It is basically the worship of the force of evil. It goes much more deeply than that. It is a desperately dangerous fact. It exists around us today. Satanic ceremonies will be happening in Britain tonight. Ask any priest, ask any member of the forces of law and order and they will tell you that Satanism as such, it's there and it has been for thousands of years.
They must be profane and blasphemous to be effective. This is part of the ritual and part of the belief of these people. That in order to make any kind of ceremony totally effective it must be the exact diametrical opposite of the real ceremony."
