This book was born out the need I have had for many years of telling and sharing with the reader my own real experiences of fears and terror that I lived and suffered first-hand, since my childhood until my adolescence years, as a result of the horrifying practice of witchcraft, sorcery and spiritualism carried out in my presence, by some members of my own family and by other people in the community where we all lived. These experiences were so traumatic, so frightening and so stormy for me that although these events occurred more than ve decades ago, they are still alive, fresh and gravitating in my mind as if they happened in recent time, and what also became a well kept and guarded family's secret, due to the diabolic and shameful nature of this practice and because it created both in me, as well as in some members of my family, a great feeling of shame and guilt.
Reasons why, more than fty years later, I decided to write and reveal these harrowing experiences and this family's secret in this book, as a therapy and as an exorcism, for in some way free myself from those troubling memories, emotions and feelings.
