Introduction and links to related topics

Below are some short introductions. Click on the blue hyperlinked word to get more related articles.


Brotherhood Of Luxor - Brotherhood of Luxor. A certain Brotherhood of mystics. Its name had far better never have been divulged, as it led a great number of well-meaning people into being deceived, and relieved of their money by a certain bogus Mystic Society speculators, born in Europe, only to be exposed and fly to America.

The name is derived from the ancient Lookshur in Beloochistan, lying between Bela and Kedjee. The order is very ancient and the most secret of all. It is useless to repeat that its members disclaim all connection with the "H.B. of L.", and the tutti quanti of commercial mystics, whether from Glasgow or Boston.

Witches Sabbath - Witches’ Sabbath. The supposed festival and gathering of witches in some lonely spot, where the witches were accused of conferring directly with the Devil. Every race and people believed in it, and some believe in it still. Thus the chief headquarters and place of meeting of all the witches in Russia is said to be the Bald Mountain (Lyssaya Gora), near Kief, and in Germany the Brocken, in the Harz Mountains. In old Boston, U.S.A., they met near the "Devil’s Pond ", in a large forest which has now disappeared. At Salem, they were put to death almost at the will of the Church Elders, and in South Carolina a witch was burnt as late as 1865. In Germany and England they were murdered by Church and State in thousands, being forced to lie and confess under torture their participation in the " Witches’ Sabbath ".

* Encyclopedia II - Boston transportation - Subways

Main article: Boston subway. There are four subway lines in the metropolitan Boston area: the Red Line, Green Line, Orange Line, and Blue Line, all of which head into and out of downtown Boston. That is one of the system's strengths—the subways do an excellent job of getting people to and from downtown. However, there is little cross-town service (The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority, which runs the system, has begun developing a cross-town bus line, though). Also, the subways stop running at 12:45 a.m. each ni ...
