Vitriol is the autobiography of musician and magician Ray Sherwin. It highlights the deceptions used to control the people of the world by governments, banks, religions and organised pharma. Sherwin provides for the first time a history of the early days of Chaos Magick and the Illuminates of Thanateros. He does this as an outsider in the same way that he discredits all organised religion and, in particular, the religious bias which allowed Europeans to invade Palestine and to perpetrate genocide there. He shows, with the help of statistics, how vaccination is a scam, a method for the ruling elite to dumb down and reduce the population. Sherwin sees The Old Religion as the only genuine religion and backs up this thesis with a historical look at Christianity, Judaism and Islam, disciplines which he sees as 'mutable'.
