The history and practice of this cult are narrated and described in the book "All Of Them Witches," by J.R. Hanslet.

This cult is led by Roman and Margaux Castevet and aims to complete the conception of an unnatural son, the result of sexual intercourse between a mortal woman and Satan with meant to bring a second Advent, that of the Antichrist.
